Loma doesn't have to take that Rigo fight with disavantages. Rigo needs him more than Loma needs him

Rigo doesn't want to come up to 126 where Loma would have about a 6-7lb weight advantage. I can understand that too.
So stop the BS PR ploy and just make the Vevetkya fight- FW beltholder, fight at 126, no rehydration issues, miniscule risk of not making weight.
As far as I know Lomachenko never had a problem fighting Walters at 126.
The only problem he has now is Walters coming in overweight at the weigh-in again. Again....that's on Walters for being unprofessional, not Lomachenko who is doing things by the book.

If that was Loma's only problem it would be silly, but you'd have a point. His other issue is Walters no longer holds a FW belt and Loma stated he only wants to fight FW belt holders. As such, calling out Rigo makes little sense because he also doesn't hold a FW belt.

Or Walters can attempt to make 126 and we get a fight at 126. Right now we don't even know what Walters wants to do, but people like you are quick to make assumptions.
Rigo is the one that needs fights, Klimas was just making an offer. He can take it or leave it.

Lomachenko vs Rigondeaux is just a really good fight that a lot of people want to see. If Rigondeaux doesn't want to move up then I don't think Lomachenko is going to cry about it. He doesn't need the fight.

Rigondeaux is in NO position to be making demands. Lomachenko is the champ at 126 and Rigondeaux has NO other options.
If Rigondeaux wants the fight he will agree to Lomachenkos terms or he can continue to sit on the sidelines. He has ABSOLUTELY NO BARGAINING POWER!!!
This is a GREAT fight Rigondeaux needs to step back accept the terms and if he wins than he will be in position to make demands.

Yes it is, as is Loma V Walters, which more people wanted to see. True, if Rigo doesn't take the fight. Loma will be ok.
He will fight Vevetkya, which meets Loma's stated goal of only wanting to fight FW belt holders, but isn't the opponent most of us wanted, Walters, or Rigo, the guy we were all willing to accept instead of Walters.

On the other hand Walters weighed in at 145 for his last fight, so he would only have 9-10 lbs on loma. Loma and his team have publicly come out and said that they wouldn't fight Walters because he's too big,and they wouldn't entertain a catchweights or a rehydration clause. So Walters would be to big for loma with a 9 lb weight advantage,but rigo is a coward for not agreeing to fight loma when he'd be outweighed by 10-12 lbs?

There are too many boxers dehydrating themselves to make a lower weight, then blow themselves up by damn near 4 to 5 weight divisions on the night of the fight. Lomachenko seems to hate the idea of fighting fighters with any kind of physical advantage over him.
