Comments Thread For: Lomachenko: I'm Ready To Fight Rigondeaux at Any Time

[tiliheels]

That's an odd thing for Arum to say considering Top Rank won't answer any questions on whether or not Walters is a free agent. Notice how Walters is MIA and has done almost no interviews with the press since his last fight.

he did almost no interviews after his last fight before the last one..he did almost no interviews after he dropped out of the fight due to illness some time back..idk man...walters is a big question mark to me..his stock continues to drop and it is all his fault..he should have made weight like a big boy..
im a fan of him and lomo, but the truth is the truth..boxers elect to have accountability when they win titles..HE HAS TO MAKE THE WEIGHT..

hbo basically wont let rigo on unless he goes up in weight at 35 years old..its crap..he should go to 118 and call out choco and all those guys fightin at lower weights who rehydrate more than him

If I was Rigo I will be calling out Chocolalito at 118. Like you said Roman Gonzalez balloons up in weight in between fights and comes in the ring 126+ on fight night. If Chocolalito is the true P4P #1 fighter he should challenge himself and fight another P4P fighter in Rigondeaux. I doubt HBO will want to make this fight because they know they might have Rigo slaying another cash cow star. But let's look at the facts...

These smaller weights there is no $$$. Rigo is 35, Chocolalito isn't younger either. Have the fight in Marlins Park in Miami where there is a huge Cuban and Nicaraguan population. This would be a bad ass fight and I don't see Rigo having trouble losing 4lbs.

I thought Lomochenko-Walters was already made??

YES IM not sold on the choco hype either but i think it is a better more even fight than rigo vs lomo...if rigo was a big rehydrator closer to 135 than he is 125 i'd say fine with that fight, but it just isnt a fair fight imo..

Arum just said that Walters Loma has been made ??
Anyways , rigo needs a big fight . He should fight chocolatico o Loma at 124 , sounds fair at this 124 and no more than 10 pounds for Loma , fight night .
Rigo will beat both , for sure . But if Loma can't come down to 124 , since he comes fight night at 135 ... Why doesn't he fight Walters , Gamboa or ducknaire ???

I guess Loma is trying to bully the smaller and tiny , rigondeaux .

But rigo wants it and he will beat Loma .
Rigo is already in shape , has been training since late December with Pedro Diaz , they already left to Europe . Expect the same speed , timing , defense and power next time you see him ..

Loma better be careful , rigo will school him .

If Loma doesnt drop to 122 then its a blatant duck...or is it if Rigo doesnt move up to 126 hes the duck....????????

Answers plz

arum said paperwork for walters is done..and they are waiting on hbo..
concentrate on your own division and stop calling out the old inactive smaller fighter..u won gold at 130 so 126 is already a level u shouldnt be fighting at so u're pushing your luck with me calling out the small guy no matter how good he is..im a lomo fan, but i dont like that one bit..get walters out the way and if u beat him u should have your eyes on 130 like u said.

What happened I thought Loma was going to be easy work for Rigo. Why the sudden change of heart? I'm talking about all Rigo fans not just you.

It's cool to have Chocolatito move up two divisions to face Rigo, but Rigo can't move up one. And Chocolatito has already moved up three divisions as well by the way.

Also you guys like to say Rigo could make 115 if he wants to. Then why doesn't he prove it? Apparently he can even make 112 as well. I remember people saying he's a natural Flyweight. Then why isn't he fighting at Flyweight? Why has he been fighting at Bantamweight (119) since he was a teenager in his amateur days?

[RetroSpeed05]

Rigo wants that catchweight and hydration clause and other bull**** he thinks will work as the B side

The man issue is money, Rigo already said he wants over 1.5 mil for this fight. lol hes deluded and pricing himself out.

i cant speak for everyone else, but im a bigger lomo fan than rigo fan 2ndly.

look i dont play the on the scale game! i play the in the ring weight game and choco is the same weight as rigo in the ring..and i respect fighters who dont have high rehydrations, low 30 way ins every fight..it means they are fighting in their normal weight class..i feel he can make 118 without strain at all....u sure rigo was 119 as a teen lol if u are going by his goldmedals the man was 26 or a little older even..lol no where near a teen hahaha

hey but rigo is a great fighter..so if he did go up and fight lomo i would give him a chance..i personally just favor fairly weighed fights...hell im in favor of adding more classes from 175-200...and also adding more classes after Hw..i wouldnt mind it

the less advantages we see the more we see how good guys really are..and how naturally blessed they may be
i mean rigo has ko'd guys 15lbs heavier...image if the dog comes out of him with ppl his own size..wow
