    VIRGIL HUNTER - Where was all this Media concern For Rigo Jumping Two weight classes

    Said the media pushed for the fight. And Will Spence get the same credit as Loma if he wins.

    Of course Spence won't get the same credit as Lomachenko. They crowned Lomachenko P4P #1 for beating a 37 year old man moving up 2 weight classes. That requires delusional, unconditional support.

      Loma didnt get much credit at all...and alot of fans actually thought that Rigo was going to win and break Loma's jaw and everything...

      Nobody really gives Mikey a real shot right ? Atleast i havent heard anyone that does

          cause a lot of people still picked rigondeaux to win, and i dont think lomachenkos got massive amounts of credit either. and we all know what hunter is hinting at when he says media agenda but believe me spence hasnt got 1/10th of the criticism that golovkin got for fighting brook, not even close.

            Virgil Farrakhan playing race card, what a shocker. He forgot Rigo ducked at 126.

                Because rigo is better than Mikey p4p. Stylistically Rigo’s style can actually compete with bigger fighters, since he is fast on his toes. And can avoid damage. Or so we thought
                Just didn’t work out well against someone as good as Loma.

                  Spence should not fight Mikey, if no one at 147 is available then make a fight at 154 IMO

                    Because Spence had never talked about or sought out fighting smaller guys, as GGG team did and he did himself. Was pushing to fight Canelo before he moved up, and Floyd also. But did not want to fight Ward. That is why.
