Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Rejects Rehydration Clause For Rigondeaux

[The Big Dunn]

You keep referring to Lomachenko as being in the wrong for some reason when he is playing everything by the book.

Walters and Rigondeaux are the ones who are going off script.

Loma is going off script. What makes it wrong is he wrote the script he is deviating from.

Loma said he only wants to fight FW beltholders and doesn't want to fight a guy with a huge weight advantage. He then calls out Rigo, who is not a FW beltholder. What makes this particularly galling for some is Rigo would have about the same weight disadvantage Loma said he didn't want to be subjected to against Walters.

Had he called out Vevetkya, the boxer that meets the requirements Loma said he wants, and not Rigo, a boxer that doesn't, we wouldn't be discussing this.

There was a big thread about it the other day. They agreed on weight issues and had moved on to other things. They agreed on full 126limit with 135lb RH clause.

Fact is we dont even know how Rigo's team will respond to this. If Hyde listens to his fighter like he should then he'll say fine and continue negotiating anyway. I dont know why Rigo and his team is catching crap from you and others when they are trying to get the fight made. Equally Lomachenko and team shouldnt be getting **** either because they can do what they want. You are normally pretty understanding that negotiations are a back and forth process, why is this case any different?

Klimas said he'll check with Loma about the RH clause of 134. They didn't agree to it. This is the first time Loma speaks on this situation and rejected the RH clause.

Loma is going off script. What makes it worse is he wrote script.

No he doesn't want to fight guys who won't make the featherweight limit.

... well, 10lb is quite a handicap even at the super-middleweights...

[The Big Dunn]

No he doesn't want to fight guys who won't make the featherweight limit.

He will not know if his opponent will make the 126 limit when he signs for the fight. He will only know that at the weigh-in 24 hours before the fight.

So are you suggesting he weigh someone on Friday at 6:00PM EST then announce the fight right after that for Saturday?

Even you are not that ******ed.

Hyde: "He wants the fight at 126, but I wanted a rehydration clause of 134 on fight night which he has now agreed to. We didn't get the fight at 124, but the most important thing for us is what weight Loma would be on fight night...."



If loma's team first agreed to the rc as hyde says and they are backtracking now, it's hard to say that it's not a duck

Well Rigo doesn't have to take it. It's not like Loma's team has a gun on Rigo's head to take the fight. If Rigo doesn't want to fight under those rules, he doesn't have to. I'm sure Lomachenko or his team will not start talking trash about Rigo, if he rejects it. They're just making an offer, if he wants to take it he or he can turn it down. Simple.

Klimas agreed to the RH clause, but in that same instance he said he'll have to check with Lomachenko.

You're twisting words and trying to compare the incomparable again. Lomachenko never asked for a rehydration clause for Walters. If Walters can make 126, then he can weigh whatever he wants on fight night. Has Walters even said that he can make 126 again?

I suggest he prove it and try to get a title at the same time. Then if he misses weight again, Lomachenko would at least get a payment penalty plus he could fight for the vacant title. Either that or the fight gets cancelled.

They both need the fight loma is just a boring amatuer type of boxer ...he's great at it but he's not the man ....he's not Koing everyone ...you would be a fool to think he doesn't need a big name he has only fought one good fighter who was still green ...he will need to fight someone soon and he will have to give in sooner or later ...just because they let him skip the rankings (with 1 loss btw)to get a belt doesn't mean he's the king ...he's still new in the pros ...he still needs to prove himself

He's not boring, neither is Rigo.
Why do you need to KO everyone?
Of course he needs a big name, but what's the rush? This guy hasn't even been pro for Two years. There's fighters that have been pro for 5+ years that have yet to get one big fight.
Well Rigo is the one that needs fights, right? Klimas simple made an "offer", he can take it or deny it.
I'm sure Loma will find fights with or without Rigo.
