Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Rejects Rehydration Clause For Rigondeaux

[Eastcoast]

Why? doesn't he only rehydrate between 134-136lbs anyway?

Lomo typically rehydrates to 138lbs. Rigo typically goes up to around 126lbs. Too bad, this would be a good fight for Lomo, but he's the one with a tv contract and other options. Hopefully this gets worked out, it would be a meaningful and great fight.

This is what we call "calling a kettle black". Rigo tops out at about 124-125 in the ring,and loma weighs in at 135-136,so that's a 10-12 lb difference. On the other hand Walters weighed in at 145 for his last fight, so he would only have 9-10 lbs on loma. Loma and his team have publicly come out and said that they wouldn't fight Walters because he's too big,and they wouldn't entertain a catchweights or a rehydration clause. So Walters would be to big for loma with a 9 lb weight advantage,but rigo is a coward for not agreeing to fight loma when he'd be outweighed by 10-12 lbs?

BINGO. The irony? Rigo usually fights opponents with physical advantages over him. There are too many boxers dehydrating themselves to make a lower weight, then blow themselves up by damn near 4 to 5 weight divisions on the night of the fight. Lomachenko seems to hate the idea of fighting fighters with any kind of physical advantage over him.

Lomachenko is a pu*sy

As far as I know Lomachenko hasn't asked for any rehydration clause to fight Walters. The fight would be at 126 as it should be.

Loma is a bum and ducker . Rehydration clause of 134 is fair for this fight . Rigo is a tiny , small 122 who at fight night comes at 125 , maybe 126 . Loma has weighed 125 and 125.75 twice in his weight in , and the bigger I have seen him weight is 136 , fight night ....

Ok , you don't want to make 124 , even though you weigh in 125 ... But you don't want to cut weight at 134 ???
Loma knows rigo beats him , that is why he wants to take all the weight he can .... A bum
Fight Walters then , it is only one pound , coward .

Rigondeaux is the most feared boxer in the game , he would go to 126 , giving size and weight advantage , but only asking 134 cut , and Loma says no ???? Cmon , man . Rigo is avoided by all : panty joke , mares , frampton , quigg and now Loma ....

Hit and not be hit ; can not hit what you don't see .

[lazaron72]

Good thing is : rigo is signing with haymon on September ,,,, Gary Hyde is over on sept 14 .....

Run panty joke , run mares , run frampton , rigo is signing haymon ...

Thanks al haymon , ha ha ha .

Walters is probably going to fight at 130 now. I'm sure the fight will happen once Loma also decides to move up. Or Walters can attempt to make 126 and we get a fight at 126. Right now we don't even know what Walters wants to do, but people like you are quick to make assumptions.
Rigo is the one that needs fights, Klimas was just making an offer. He can take it or leave it.

Not at all. loma would have fought Walters if he made the 126 pound limit. Since he didn't he doesn't trust him to make weight in the future. He already has experience with a fighter not making weight in Salido and he still fought him. This isn't a duck or calling the kettle black. He said he would fight him at 126. What is wrong with that?

Lomachenko doesn't need Rigo. Rigo is the one who can't get opponents for fight in the US. Top Rank gets Loma fights.

Two of my favorites, but 134 rehydration clause is 100% fair! As long as they agree to 126! I'd rather Rigo & Loma beat Frampton, LSC, Mares, Quigg, Donaire, Selby, Gradovich, Russell, & Walters 1st(They beat all)! But I can't complain about my most anticipated fight
I only agree with rehydration clauses if one fighter is moving up

[Vasyl�s dad]

What a quack rigo is.
