Rigo should have fought Loma at 126 for more money when it was offered. I'm not saying he would have won, I doubt it, but he would have had more hope and also more money.

Rigo loses credibility with his fantastic exaggeration. After quitting the way that he did, credibility is scarce resource he should not be squandering.

... from what I see Rigo still has WBA Super World Super Bantamweight Title... is there anybody who wants to fight for this belt and we don't know?

[KillaMane26]

I think he'll still beat lot of guys on his weight class. Dude is what? 38 or 39? Perhaps cab drivers and some no name a holes will yield to him but his infamous no mas act must have chipped away some confidence on him, i'll bet if he gets to fight another champion then he'll be destroy completely.

I doubt dudes want parts of Rigo outside of Loma.

Very disappointed with you rigo, very disappointed..and I’m one of your biggest fan , since cuba , since the national tournament down there.
You took the fight , you should have fought till the end , it would’ve been better if you had been tkoed, but you quit .
Very disappointing......

Hit and not be hit , can not hit what you don’t see .

Good to see he's returning. Loma was too big and fought dirty as fuck. Let's be real here, that's the only way these fighters beat the Cubans. At his weight, no one touches Rigo.

Is this a joke?
Rigo fought way more dirty than Loma that night, giving clear signs of frustration, at some point (end of the fifth I think) even grabbing Lomachenko's arm and dragging it/making the gesture to snap it after the bell.

I have a hard time seeing Rigo have a good career again, he's ratings kryptonite and he was humiliated by Lomachenko. He could have recouped his prestige by winning the WBSS but he's already blown that opportunity. He's such a frustrating case, he's so talented but everything else he could get wrong when it comes to managing his career, he has, at least ever since he beat Donaire.

Lmao 160!!! that’s funnier than Khan saying Canelo was 190

[j0zef]

............ 160 vs 124? What the hell is talking about? Rigo is gonna retire.

[otrocubiche]

The chicken quit, plain and simple.
Nomaschenko fought Linares and had an injured shoulder that required surgery and still won.
The chicken has been a clear example to Cuban boxers of what not to do. He didn't have much of a paying public before, after quitting like a batch, he doesn't deserve one, plain and simple.

160? Lol this coward slapped a hydration clause on Loma and Loma weighed 137 fight day and then he quit like a coward after taunting all the other fighters like Walters that quit.

Comes back 7 months later lying and being delusional.

I am reminded why I could never stand this guy. Go fake back into Bolivian.
