Mikey fans, Is Mikey Making the Biggest Blunder in Boxing?

[Madison Boxing]

People were fine with Rigondeaux who’s a natural 118 Bantam, but chose to fight at 122. He was P4P higher and a Lineal champ before Loma was as hyped, then Rigo wanted 124 with Loma when Loma was weighing at 125 for his 126 bouts.

Low and behold Loma fans deflected to say Rigo had bad mgmt or pricing himself out etc..when Loma team refused the rehydration clause even for a 124 catch.

Yet again, Low and behold Rigo had to concede to 130lbs and Team Loma finally accepted the rehydration clause for the morning of the fight.

So no, this is nothing like Loma fighting Spence. That is ******ed.

The size difference is far bigger between mikey and spence than loma and rigo

I always thought that this sport was the best fighting the best, I remember Roberto Duran moving up in weight because he knew the best fought at WW, you guys are acting like nobody should move up and challenge themselves. I just want to see a good fight, Mikey is probably going to lose, but who cares at least he did it against the best.

if you think this is going to be a good fight you need to think again. btw stop bringing up something that happened decades ago I doubt you were even around to witness that. you bringing that one fight isn't convincing anybody mikey is not even close to being as good as duran.

LOL nobody is comparing, all I am saying is that it shows character that someone moves up to challenge themselves and not uses excuse, don't worry about if I was was or wasn't around to witness it, it happened and that's it. I'm not saying that it'll be a competitive fight, but the simple fact that he's challenging himself against Spence makes me willing to purchase this, I"m not saying you have to feel the same, just my thoughts.

Lol. You seem to defend Loma insecurely. Just because I’m stating the nature of fighters ducking certain fights doesn’t mean they’d garbage. Accept it, it’s wel documented Loma didn’t want to give Rigo the 124 catchweight. If “you’ve watched enough boxing” as you state, you’d know that Rigo was P4P way longer and higher than Loma during the setting of that 124 matchup.

Grow some.

It's not that I, "defend Loma insecurely". Its more like, I dislike when people like you spew absolute garbage opinions.

Lomachenko owed Rigo nothing. Lomachenko didnt even care about the fight.

You opinion is absolute garbage.

Claiming that people owe people catchweight when they clearly dont? Oh, I guess Canelo must be ducking Pacquiao because he wont fight pac at 147. He owes him a catchweight. Blah blah blah. Hey could fight st 150 because canelo is a career superwelter...blah blag blag. That's like your garbage opinion. Absolute garbage.

As a fan, I loved the match up because it was two p4p top 10 fighters at the time. But unlike some people, the outcome was not surprising. Lomachenko was bigger. Size matters.

But he didnt even use his size to win the fight. He straight out boxed and embarassed Rigo. He completely dominated him in a one sided fight. The outcome was so pathetic that Rigo quit.

Rigo got schooled worse than Canelo got schooled by Floyd.

And you still claim if Lomachenko offered 124. He ducked. Blah blah blah. He could have fought at 118. Drained himself to death and still won.

And it WAS RIGO, who had the balls and dumb ass fans like you jump on his #notafraid bandwagon.

It's enviable whenever a guy chases greatness

I only hope Mikey doesn't get fubar'd

I expect him to lose. Maybe it will be similar to Tito vs Vargas. Action wise.

Yeah, if it's high action, we all win either way. Hoping for that as well!

Yeah, if it's high action, we all win either way. Hoping for that as well!

So far a shutout. Thought Spence would be unwrapping his mitts by now.

Was a pretty big blunder...

[ippo]

Was a fight that didnt need to happen.
