Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Rejects Rehydration Clause For Rigondeaux

[tiliheels]

why the extreme double standard?

imo smaler fighters should never demand a guy move down to fight them, you're asking him to show up malnourished

either fight him at his normal weight or agree like gentlemen that it's just not gonna happen.. in a fantasy world anyway

understand lomo was the first to speak and told the very small 122lber to come to 126...understand also if rigo was rehydrating to 135 i would not be supporting him..lomo is the guy who is cheating weight classes and rehydrating..rigo is natural at 122 and unlike 99% of boxer he is NOT REHYDRATING to another weight class...those guys have my protection as a fan..do u get it now? no double standards just you not taking time to get the entire point

Rigo is to blame here, plain and simple. Either move up to 126 or you don't get the fight, that's all there is to it. Lomachenko doesn't need to fight Rigo- dude has only 5 pro fights and is already a bigger name He fought on Mayweather-Pacs undercard. He's got the higher ceiling as far as career potential goes. He's only 26 and younger, and he's got more time to fight the better competition.


Rigo can either accept a no rehydration clause (wtf) orhe can continue to fight unknown, random Thai's and former MMA fighters on free-Japanese cartoon network.

In all fairness, Loma fought an uknown Thai too..

Don't care if this one doesn't happen, Lomachenko is too big and it's not solely size, Lomachenko has skills. Rigondeaux has been facing considerably bigger guys in his own division, we need to be realistic with this one.

when pac fought at 147 and 150 i ddint mind cw's bc he's never asked for one until guys where rehydating 20lbs bigger than him...the thing with pacs cw and clauses was that mayweather did it without and mayweather fans used that against pac...but there is nothing wrong with not being mayweather..just dont parade a guy like pac over him...im basically saying here that all CW issues dont fight under the same umbrella...and that mayweather is an outlier but even he took a cw with a fighter who rehydrates to 180..should have had a rehydration clause tbh

lomo and his camp have made me mad with this whole ordeal..they dont want to fight walters bc he is too big but they dont want to give rigo a fair playing field when he asks them to not be too big in the ring and make to make the hardcore fans biggeest fight as fair as possible...

After the major disappointment that was May/Pac, boxing needs a fight like Rigo/Loma to reinvigorate the faith of true boxing bans... Besides Cotto/Canelo this is the only fight to really get excited about in the near future... And I fear for the worst...

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

he had all the intentions to until walters lost his title missing weight against marriaga. do u even follow the featherweight division??
AND


^^^^^^

Are you even reading my posts? If it was about the belt then why is he mentioning Simpiwe Vetyeka as an opponent? The guy does NOT have a belt.

I do follow BOXING and apparently closer than you.

[turnedup]

this seems pretty fact based tho..lot of ppl call out weights to block fights..like ggg164...now that ward is saying ok to 164 u might see ggg's next play go off on a cotto canelo tangent..but imo ward shouldnt 164 bc ggg chan make 168 easy and rehydrate and rigo shouldnt 126 bc he is not a natural 122 guy and does not rehydrate past 126...its all about the numbers with me..

Oh please...Ward is now some sort of Zeus who nobody wants to fight. LMAO. Let's wait to see if he gets within a c*nt hair of lineal at 175 then ask him to fight someone in a different division so we can see the reverse argument made here..conveniently so. HBO pursued the fight , he said no for his own personal reasons.

Take ANY thread on NSB and see your name with a post in it and I already know 10000000% exactly what fighter you're gonna d**k ride and what fighters you're gonna talk **** about.


You're so salty and angry all the time. Lmfao. Go have some fun dude.

I get that you have some personal problem with me but please always try to argue with my arguments not with my personality (or what you think about it).

Arum says OK, Loma's team says OK, Rigo says OK but wants it with 124 pound and 134 or 135 lb rehydration limit. --> Loma says no catchweight, he only takes it at 126 --> Hyde, Rigo's manager says they are OK with 126, only thing they want is the rehydration clause because they don't want Loma to be bigger than Rigo by 20 pounds or so in the ring. --> the most important fact: Loma's manager says they are okay with that because Loma isn't even bigger than that normally on fight nights.

So it should be all fine, isn't it?

And then, Loma rejects the rehydration clause.

Try to argue with these and tell me where is the mistake. Try to explain it why that wasn't just a huge bluff from Loma's side if making the 134 lb limit is naturally to him and just a formality?

You really shouldn't stalk my posts on this site if all you can come up with are personalities...

[darius45]

Sorry but this is a straigth duck nothing more. Arum is alright with the fight, Rigo is alright with go up to 126 for the fight, only thing he wants is a rehydratation clause which is anyways natural to him according to his manager.
so both promoters are interested: check
Rigo is interested.
Rigo wants it at 124 and with rehydration clause --> Loma says he doesn't like catch weights, only in 126 --> fair enough, cws are not good, Rigo accepts it at 126 with 134 rehyd clause to Loma. Accorfin to Loma"s manager it's easy to make because Loma isn't any heavier at fight nights. So all good and then --> Loma rejects rehyd clause.
you can't argue that this is not a duck. I feel sorry because Loma really didn't seem like a primadonna so far.

This is how things have logically played out thus far. Rigo has agreed to the fight at 126 with the stipulation that Loma doesn't rehydrate past 134...

To be fair to Loma, there really hasn't been an official word one way or the other... It all still seems up in the air...

IF Rigo won't budge on the rehydration clause, and if Loma refuses it... Then it's a duck on Loma's part... but lets wait and see...

You know if Arum thinks Loma can beat Rigo, he wants it on a big PPV card (at least as a headliner to maybe Bradley) in Dubai or whatever corrupt BS place he has in mind...

Rigo is faster than silver, so Loma better bring his golden game, because you can't steal the fight from a guy like Rigo.
