Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux Embraces Weight Risk: I Had To Go To 130 For Deal

[STREET CLEANER]

"I went up to 130 because it was the only way I could get this fight made," Rigondeaux said. "I would rather it have been at a lower weight, but I want to show the world that I can do it by moving up two weight classes."

Emphasis on the word "made". Not offered....made.

For a while he was offered fights but he wanted to stay at 122, or we forgot that already

Same people saying Rigo is complaining or crying are the same weirdos who was crying over 2lbs after Canelo got his ass whooped all over the ring by a 40yr old midget

we all know Rigo's got defense, reach, speed, power, foot skills advantages over Loma, So, how does he lose this bout?? You'll see tomorrow, with these advantages for Rigo, Loma's aggression will be well toned down!!

Lomachenko is bigger, stronger, younger, and more active.

Lol they asked him a ****ing question, he answered it.

He has throughout this ENTIRE promotion been saying in EVERY single interview "Weight doesn't mean ****." "My skills are good enough to beat him."

Which can be backed up by the fact that he is a SMALL 122lb fighter who is outweighed by every single guy who he fights against at 122 on fight night. If he didn't truly believe that weight didn't mean **** and his skills are good enough, he wouldn't fight the "best p4p fighter in the world" at 130lbs. He wouldn't take the fight at this weight if he didn't truly believe this.


All he is saying here this interview is literally that he took the fight at 130lb because there was no other way to make the fight. He says he would have preferred it at a lower weight. It's not an excuse, he is LITERALLY telling you the truth.


Now I want someone to explain to me HOW...please break it down in detail....HOW is this an excuse? Tell me? Someone please answer me, one of you moron d*ckhead brainless clowns who are saying this is an excuse. Based on what I presented to you in full detail, quote this post and prove me wrong. I'll be waiting.

I don't know what Mikey you're talking about? I'm talking about Mikey Garcia, 37-0 w/ 30 KOs! Ask Salido about him! Then ask Salido about Lomachenko!

Lomachenko would destroy Salido right now hes improved significantly since that fight. Heres whats going to happen because weve seen the same old song and dance a million times with Mikey. Mikey will call Loma out over social media and in interviews and loma will accept and agree to move up to 135 and they will have negotiations and then Mikey will price himself and out say he was getting low balled and then go fight lesser opposition for less money. I hope im wrong but Mikey has done it over and over and he lost me as a fan.

And the C U N T S who are whining about size can't ***** that Rigo was weakened losing weight. Look, In the 70s 80s 90s nobody whined about size. The greats ALL stepped up, sometimes successfully sometimes not. Watch Loma move to LW, SLW.....Greats dare too be great and *****es never make it past mediocre. I truly believe the only people using size as an excuse are the fans that live vicariously through their hero. Yes, it's the whiny ***** a s s fans that cry about size. The greats embrace it. Rigo has balls but he will fall short. No matter how big Loma is.

Rigo is already crying like lil ho. He fought bigger guys before and it is not such a huge weight difference anyways, got 3 inch reach advantage and a fat paycheck and still crying like a lil b1tch. enjoy the pay day and get that @ss whooping

i have never seen a fighter with barely less than 18 fights be crowned best pound for pound as the best and lose to salido and only have in my mind one crediable which is gary russel he faught walters who hadnt faught in year and call out a fighter two weight classes below him who has not even foght at this weight there a reason they have weight classes i would like see him test his skill against robert easter why has he not called out gervonta because he being spoon feed never in the history has any fighter who lost his 3rd fight recover in the rankings like this paper champion and im stating fact

[thereeldeel]

Jumping up 2 weight classes is nothing.
Mayweather and De La Hoya fought guys 4 weight divisions up from where they started and beat them decisively.
May the best man win and hopefully no excuses from the loser.
