Too small.. too late. Unfortunately.

Love to see it. 6 rd ko by loma imo. Rigo great but the offensive output and growing pro set up power of loma will catch up around mid fight. Probably the 2 best amateurs all time. But only loma is evolving into entertaining professional

Lomachenko fought Salido in his second fight because him and his team felt he was ready. Why would it take him this long to be ready to fight Rigondeaux?

He's been ready for Rigondeaux for a couple years now.

Leave the little man alone , fight your weight class or will lose hard earned respect .

The little man is running his mouth and some fans are now calling Loma a duck so no excuses of Loma fighting a small fighter if this gets made.

Lomachenko has been willing to fight Rigondeaux for 2 years now.

Remember, the first fight fell through because of Rigondeaux.

The question becomes, is Rigondeaux willing to fight him? Like actually willing to fight him. Not calling him out, and then when it comes to negotiations, turning down offers and demanding huge money. The offer for Rigondeaux is there. It's up to him to take it.

How much they offer Salido around 600k? If they offer less than that it's a duck.

This is no a casual boxing fans fight, as good as both are they have little name recognition beyond true fans of the sport. This is not a PPV or stand alone fight, they both need good money and the fight deserves good billing, more than an ESPN fight can deliver. It could be a co-main or under-card to a PPV event but where's the event and venue. Lomo wants this fight before moving up but with no date set yet for Rigo's mandatory time may run out. If Lomo wants Garcia assuming he gets by Broner they should be an opportunity at the end of the year or early 2018. If Garcia wins, looks good doing it and feels strong at 140 against Broner, he may start thinking about Crawford, big money PPV. All this makes me dizzy but when you throw in promoters, network and alphabet connections there's a good possibility nothing happens. Lomo is the best looking boxer at this stage, 9 fights into his Pro career than anyone since Ray Leonard. He has time for Rigo but may have to pass on Garcia but there will always be someone there at 135 and 140. Due to his size Rigo caps out at 130 so he needs to get the move on.

It was over 700K. We will never know how much they will offer Rigo as Rigo's team have not even contacted Top Rank. They are on a social media barkathon only.
