Comments Thread For: Vasyl Lomachenko Shouts, and Rigondeaux Responds

[48cantCstraight]

Rigo put out a challenge to Loma, who is the champ at 126, then asked for a catchweight when Loma accepted.

No difference at all, you ****.

I'm not calling Rigo a bitch or a coward, just pointing out the hypocricy and ******ity of biased ****s like you.

Rigo never said he'd go to 126. Golovkunt said he'd go to 168 because he wants everyone to think he's invincible, but when Ward told him to come up he pissed his pants. Two completely different situations you trans***ual golovcum drinker.

Lol. Yeah, and Ward said he would go to heavyweight and beat one of the Klit bros!

Andre also said that the reason he isn't fighting Kovalev yet is because he wants GGG first.

Well, GGG is busy at 160, so I guess that means Andre will be going after Krusher now.

Any of you Ward fans have any news on that?

Didn't Ward's trainer say that he needs 2 and possibly three rust-shake fights? So it's been what? 3 months? since the last rust shaking exercise against Smith. So when is the second rust shaking fight or is Ward looking for rust to start accumulating again - with all that bronze colored rust accumulating he'll be able to market himself as the BRONZE HUGGER sooner or later.

So what? If he wants to fight Lomachenko, he should go there or STFU.

What are you talking about 168 is probably one of the most stacked divisions right now ( mostly with PBC fighters though), and the only name looking at 160 while GGG will be boxing is canelo, remember the guy is 34.

You mentioned a ton of PBC fighters and those aren't going to happen either. His best bet is 168 with Ward, but he'll avoid that like the plauge.

168lbs seriously, stacked are you kidding?

1. Andre Ward - Legitimate guy, he is the real deal no lying there
2. Arthur Abraham - Washed up past his best, never really was that good
3. James DeGale - Man seriously... this dude is ****ing garbage he is so overrated
4. George Groves - SAME AGAIN!
5. Fedor Chudinov - Not enough fights to say much about him solidly
6. Felix Sturm - FINISHED, absolutely shot fighter
7. Martin Murray - He is a good fighter I will give you that but hasn't done much at SMW yet he is ranked this high!
8. Callum Smith - Untested tbh potentiual but we will see.
9. Rocky Fielding - I don't think he will live up to his hype he has a padded record at the moment yet to step up
10. Gilberto Ramirez - Great looking fighter sort of in same position as Callum Smith, a young guy who could be good but we just don't know yet

That's your top ten of SMW, do you really think that is anything spectacular?
Then we have the Dirrell brothers who have failed to live up to their hype with their lazy work ethic in the ring, Blake Caparello who went down to 175 after being beat to a pulp by Kovalev and a shot Robert Stieglitz...
I don't understand how that translates into being stacked.

Lomo's young enough I think he could cut the extra 2lbs without it hurting him. He'd still come in around 136-138. Rigo seems maxed out at 122lbs, his rehydration weights are about 126lbs.

Because their skills are relatively close in levels, I think the size difference will play a big part in the end result. I know Rigo doesn't have many options, but I don't blame him if he doesn't want to sell out his name for a loss to a bigger man in Lomo.

I agree that skills levels are close but I see Rigo's chin coming into play. That said he seems to have N'Dam powers of recovery.
Asking Rigo to fight Loma without a rehydration limit is similar to asking Mayweather to fight GGG with no weight restrictions. If Rigo comes in at 122 on fight night and Loma is at 135 that 13lb difference at the lower weights has a similar effect on the fight outcome as a 18/20lb difference at a fight made around MW level - in other words it is bordering on a mismatch. That said if Rigo could beat Loma with that disadvantage that'd be quite the achievement.
Does anyone know last time Loma fought below 126?

[niceyboo3]

Floyd went up to 154 for money fights

Pretty sure GGG can do the same. Chavez, at the time, and Froch offer huge paydays. Ward doesnt, and he has a bigger chance of losing to a p4p fighter, who would outweigh him considerably

Ward/GGG would have happened at 168 by now if Ward offered the Froch payday

You only take on fights with considerably disadvantages if youre gonna be accordingly rewarded for it. Its the state of modern boxing.

I agree with this. Ward didnt even make 168 his last fight. Why does everyone want GGG to lose so bad? I agree with getting paid and it is competitive. Ward would not bring the money or attention. De la Hoya could do 2 lines and fight GGG tonight and it would sell more than a ward fight with promotions. I believe some people are using Ward as an excuse. As if, GGG is not the best middleweight . It should be GGG vs the Canelo Cotto winner. Ward can go after Kov. Lets cut the b.s.

[HI-TECH Boxing]

I love how this turned into a GGG-Ward discussion.
I hope GGG stays at Middleweight to break the defense record. That would make haters even more mad.
If 168 is as deep as they say why doesn't Ward fight them? For one, he probably can't. Most are Haymon fighters. GGG will also run into the same problem. So NO, he doesn't have more fights at 168.
Ward is the one in hell (meaning tough position for dumb*sses that take it to seriously) not GGG. Ward is the one that needs a big fight badly. GGG is chilling.
Haters don't want Ward to go up to 175 and come back down, but why then should GGG go up to 168 and come back down to 160. It makes no sense for him.

GGG to break the record!!!

As for Loma-Rigo, I don't care if it happens or not.

[kafkod]

Not you in particular a lot of triple G fans use the ward don't have fans don't bring in no money excuse to avoid fight

It's not an excuse, it's the truth. Ward doesn't have any fans and he doesn't bring in any money.

Was Roc willing to fund GGG vs Ward back when HBO said they wouldn't pay for it?

If they fought now Golovkin would bring in the money, and Ward would expect to get 50% of it though he's done sweet F all in the sport for the last 4 years and is nobody outside of hardcore boxing circles.

[48cantCstraight]

So what? If he wants to fight Lomachenko, he should go there or STFU.

I don't disagree with that. My point is that GGG should stfu if he doesn't wanna move to 168 to fight Ward.

[GMAN SUPREME]

whats with all the idiots arguing about golovkin vs ward in a potential loma vs rigo fight thread.I don't see this fight happening rigo is sitting out waiting to sign with gaymon once that happens a fight with loma is gone forever.
