Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux Weighs Career-High 128.4 Pounds; Lomachenko is 129

[Andrij]

I can smell Loma's fans finding "Reasons" already after what we saw this afternoon... Not that I thought size would matter too much, but now I'm confident more than ever that my $$$$ on Rigo at +265 will make for a great Xmast...

Man am I pumped for that one !

Its very good that people hyping Rigo up because after his crushing defeat they will look like fools when they come up with excuses that he was too small and old.

I'm not one of those, and neither is Rigondeaux... All I want is a great fight... The rest is only Pre-Fight trash talk...

Usually Loma weighs 130 since fighting at this weight division but today even a pound less. But at the fight Loma will have a 10 pound weight advantage. IMO Rigo stays at 128 but Loma will put on 9 more pounds.

That's NOT a good sign

And I believe their is a weight clause

Loma just said that Rigondeaux didn't even look him into the eyes but more in the mouth area https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AK57i8JJaU

Rigo looking at that chin he bout to brake.

Rooting for Rigo but think Loma is too big for him. I like both fighters but gotta give most of my props to the guy moving up 2 weight classes. Rigo has balls

[Nomadic]

Don't they have a 135lbs weight limit on fight day morning? This should keep the fight close.

Rigo by decision.

In all fairness, people said that about Brook at the GGG weigh in. He looked great. But 2 weight classes is a massive jump.

When looking at a fighters size, i look at what they can get down to comfortably, not what they can go up to and still look physically good.

That said, Rigo is very talented so it wouldn't surprise me if he could win the fight. Just making the point that they are different sized men, no matter how the weigh in looks.

SHARP post !!

most fans seem to go the other way and judge a fighter by his rehydration weight

which is nonsense
