Comments Thread For: Guillermo Rigondeaux Open To Fight Santa Cruz or Mares at 126

[GorillaDog]

Rigondeux has Fl0mos shook. They don't want to see Rigo beat down the cream of the crop at 126 b/c they know it will boost Lomachenko's legacy.

A lot of people including myself appreciate his skills and don't find him boring.

Anyways, what exactly is his fault about being treated unfairly?

He has had easy fights where he could have tried to entertain the audiences. In boxing you get paid as much as you are able to sell. (Unless you are andre ward and your promoter is losing money on you).

I like him as a fighter. He's just boring, period. No one wants him because of that.

Lomachenko went from 700k viewers on ESPN to 1.7 mil fighting Rigo. Brings no viewers though.

I think it was more due to how the fight was hyped. Two gold medalists blablabla.

Santa Cruz and Mares wouldn't fight him at 122 so what makes him and his manager think that they will fight him at 126?

Since Rigo got stripped, don't be surprised if it will be a long time before he fights again, if ever.

This is what Rigo needs to do and get back in there immediately with another tough opponent while putting that horrible loss/quit behind him. I hope Mares and Santa Cruz feel froggy and believe they can do what Lomachenko was able to do (they can't) and take on Rigo.

It's like no one even mentions the size difference...it was incredible how much smaller Rigo was. I don't think I've seen a size difference that big inside of a ring at a professional level in my life, it was almost unreal. Looked like Valeuv fighting a 205lb heavyweight.

There's people in this thread saying "That's what he gets!" Lol. Lol.

Very true, and I give Lomachenko all the credit as the guy is a new age talent, but we have to keep it real and Rigo looked like a midget in there against him. With that said, Rigo knew the size advantage and still got in there and pulled that quit job. As a fan, i'm hoping he can get another shot at somebody like Mares or Santa Cruz to put that ugly loss behind him.

If he fought the best fighters in his own division, he wouldn't look boring.

Was he boring against Donaire? No becausw Donaire was a top guy trying to actually win.

But the rest of them won't fight him, they're scared.

You have a point there. I am a fan of him. I wish other 122 fighters would have the balls to get in the ring with him.

Now that Rigo is considered a pathetic quitter, let's Santa Cruz, Mares, Frampton and others show some courage!

Skill wise Rigo vs Loma was great but when the fight came it was like yea size and age does make a difference. Rigo should have no problem going back to his winning ways at 126 though but only if he drops that one tactical move(stalling speed duck) to incorporate a more mobile headmovement. He fixs that than he should be good til he retires.
Loma straight exposed Rigo's headmovement imo
