Comments Thread For: Arum on Lomachenko vs. Rigondeaux: That's a **** Fight!

[Fangedgrowl]

Itis funny Arum thinks it is a s*** fight. He is good at making them. So make it old man!!!!

[HI-TECH Boxing]

Bruh blow his penis already, ok we get it you admire him, he's your fav boxer, he's the greatest thing you've ever seen...chill, stfu already, begging for attention smh...

Just like Bob arum said of De la hoya no way making Vargas vs Lomachenko, there's no way in hell he himself makes Lomachenko vs Rigondeaux...too much risk

LOL why are you offended that I'm a Loma fan? That's dumb. Should I talk crap about you and call you names because you're a fan of a certain fighter?
I don't think I have ever said Loma is the greatest thing I've ever seen. He is my favorite fighter. Big deal. Why don't you go cry about it?
This is one of the funniest things I've seen.

I will defend Loma when he needs to be defended. I'm not going to let people make up BS.
Last year people were calling Loma a coward for trying to fight Rigo after Rigo has been talking crap for years. And they were saying that Loma was scared of Walters and he just wants to try and get the smaller fighter in Rigo.
Now people want to come up with this BS. I'm not going to let that slide.
You don't see me defending Loma when it comes to the comments Arum is making. Honestly, I think those comments are annoying. He's just making Loma look bad.
He's a promoter though. He wants to get people talking. And sometimes that means creating some controversy.
People need to understand that. That's all he is doing. And it appears to be working because people are talking. Aren't they?

So, Lomachenko vs Walters was exciting?? Arum is full of shyt. He knows what Rigo would do to Loma: same thing he did to Donaire; he would simply destroy him and turn all this bullshyt hype into smoke. Bob is still mad at Rigo for ruining Donaire and causing him to lose the millions he had planned on making off the Donaire hype. Rigo would simply destroy Lomachenko, period.

I don't know If Rigo would destroy Lomo, but he damn sure is the biggest threat to beat him. IMO that's why Bob always trashes this fight

Have to agree with Arum this time.

Putting Loma in boring fights is a lose-lose.

Bob Arum doesn't care about making the best fights.

Rigo and Loma would be a fight fought at the highest skill-level the sport can offer anywhere.

Arum and the biased boxing media like Dan Rafael take every opportunity to talk ***** on Rigo because he is a spoiler. Ever since he popped the Donaire bubble there has been bias against him.

Rigo is on the short version of the short list for the best boxer alive.

Arum thinks Rigo might be able to beat Loma, and he's not wrong.

I'd pick Loma by UD, and I'd love this fight.

I agree with you on everything except for the outcome. I think Rigo wins the decision as I see him being able to neutralizing Lomo jumping in on him similar to how FMJ did Pac.
You either have to back Lomo up all night long or make him think twice before sliding in on you in order to beat him IMO. I really think Rigo can make him think twice.

I love tactical fights so this would be dream match up for me.

[EL_GRINGO]

just 2 years ago arum was trying to sell the idea of this fight

Yeah and they almost finalized it and rigs backed out,catchweight and money was agreed,then suddenly nothing from Rigo's side
But by all means make it again,but don't come crying afterwards he was too old old or inactive when he loses or he's too small.
And im nothing talking to you personally because i don't even now who you think will win,just people from Rigo's side in general asking for it now,don't come crying with excuses later on

I agree, Rigo's left hand will keep Loma cautious. I honestly have no idea how Loma would be able take away Rigo's left... But if anyone in the boxing world can, it's Loma...

What's also interesting about this fight, is that with both guys being 2x Olympians, they'll both be very concerned about staying up on points... So let's say Rigo is as great as we think he is and is able to make Loma think twice about coming in...Loma isn't just going to wait and let himself fall down on the scorecards... He'll adjust and take chances, and I think bring out the best version of Rigo we've yet to see...

Both guys have tremendous footwork ( you could say they have the best footwork in boxing today with Manny)...But they move differently... Rigo is very minimalist but super effective... Loma loves to dart in and out and step around his opponent... How will Rigo respond to this...How will each guy respond when they're hit flush...


This fight NEEDS to happen... Still waiting to hear from Loma... Really hope he doesn't duck this lifetime opportunity to prove himself as one of the best...

[darius45]

I like Rigo but he would have no chance himself. Too small. Too inactive. too old. Just one of those 3 negatives would cause issues - but all three of them - no chance.

Are you mad? No chance? This is a very even fight. And I bet the actual betting odds will reflect it, if the fight does get made.

Rigo will train hard for Loma, he knows what he's up against, and Loma will know he's going up against his toughest opponent too.... Loma isn't going to be able to impose his size with lightning counter lefts coming at him... Rigo edges Loma out in the speed department... Too old? Rigo is a bit of freak of nature like Floyd, he's older but just as sharp as ever.

I could probably quote myself like 30 times instead of saying told you so but fk it too much work so told you so This fight always had 0 % chance of happening Arum still has Nonito nightmares hes not putting any next superstar at risk of that ever again.

Fool me once type of ****. He just used the prospect of the matchup to generate Lomachenko hype and lets be honest even if Rigo showed up to fight Lomachenko and instead took his gloves off and started a rap battle it would still be better than that disgraceful pos fight we just watched last saturday.
