Lomachenko vs. Rigondeaux set for December 9th on ESPN

[firemanBk]

Is it actually set or is just "close"?

We've seen plenty of close fight deals fall through before

Loma too big this is terrible. Rigo shouldn't have to go to 130 to get paid. It's like Jesus coming to earth knowing he would be crucified.

Nope...he asked for this fight

He win, then great W for him. He loses, then its a great W for Loma. No excuses though.

Sad year in 2017 though, to see the death of HBO boxing.

Y'all tweaking, I'm glad I'll never have to hear this Lampley pos call a fight, fukk HBO

i cant think of a time..but i also didnt expect them to put so much stock into the lower level divisions like 115..their agenda overall doesnt make sense logically..but i think 2014 was a worse year for hbo than this year

with the bolded...PBC in its intended concept is a fail..prolly the best fights that fall in its intended concept that aired this year was warren vs the Kazakhstan fighter (a legit FOTY candidate) which was on bounce (nuff said) and ugonoh-breazeale..showtime is not part of that concept because its not a free channel

Showtime is a PBC partner though, they handle PBC's premium fights, ESPN, Spike, CBS, and Fox show the other teir.
That said PBC brought me the most entertaining card of the year so far, the GRJ and Dirrell card is my card of the year still, for the complete and total fukkery

The man has a family to feed.

Our generation? WTF are you talking about.
Everyone watching this fight and old enough to appreciate it was alive during Manny vs Floyd, Manny vs. JMM, Morales vs. Barrera, shane vs oscar, Ward vs Kovalev, and etc.

This..todays generation of boxing ain't my generation for damn sure

The fight is a good look though

 

[calixprynce]

I got Rigo

 

[Newzz]

We know he's been repeatedly dropped in the pros, but he's also been dropped multiples in sparring...and even by a 14 year old huh?





Vasyl Lomachenko....by KO

Might have to make that trip

#NoExcuses it's what he wanted

He wanted the fight, not the 130lb weight limit. But the weight was nonnegotiable, so Rigo had to accept it to get the fight.

He's jumping up 2 weight classes to fight a phenom. He's 36. The odds are definately against him.

But dammit if there's anyone who can beat the odds, it's Rigo. His sublime skill makes up for his size. I have him winning a decision.

Not a great win. But a good win. The guy is 2 weight classes bigger. How much credit we give GGG for knocking out Brook? Or Canelo for sleeping Khan?
