Loma is a 126lber who moved up only 4lbs. Rigo has weighed in as high as 125 1/2 before, so its not that big of a disparity to already get the excuses started.

Rigo wants it, yall all picking him to win bc yall feel he's better, no excuses. If yall aint gonna give Loma his full props, he might as well not face him bc he said yall would try exactly this...say Rigo was too small, which yall were already aware of when you claimed Lomachenko was ducking him.

Yeah but Loma been at 130 since june of 2016. Plus hes had FOUR FIGHTS @ 130. Safe to say hes settled into the weight. Rigo been at 122 his entire 8 year pro career.

And you referencing Rigo's unofficial weight night of just proves my point further- to rehydrate to 125.5 for a 122 fight shows youre a small fighter and that 122 is indeed his real weight class. I believe Loma has rehydrated to 140 in the past 4 fights.

But I aint make excuses, just discussing the facts of the case. A catchweight at 124 when Loma was at 126 would have made this more evenly contested, but Team Loma turned it down and Team Rigo didn't want to move up to 126. But I'm telling you Loma will not get full props for this immediately. Just like ppl conveniently forget Loma washed and schooled Gary Russell Jr.

If we get at GGG for the Brook fight, we gotta get at Loma for this one :manny:

Wow so ive been rewatching all of Loma and Rigo's career fights and since Loma's pro debut, they were talking about him fighting Rigo. Loma's pro debut was on the Bradley-Marquez undercard. Lampley mentioned during the telecast that Arum wanted to match Loma against Rigo "in the not so distant future". And in the post fight interview Max asked Loma about the Rigo fight and he replied that he would need a few more fights before he felt comfortable with a Rigo fight, and it was out of respect for Rigo's skills. Very rarely do we get these types of matches guys. These 2 been on a collision course ever since Loma turned pro. :ohhh:



Rigo's pro debut was the co main on a ESPN card, 3rd round TKO

Nope. Rigo weighed in at 125 1/2...that wasnt his rehydration weight.

Secondly, Rigo is not a Kell Brook. Rigo is ranked #6 p4p, and Loma is #5. If Rigo cant move up in weight at all, is he truly p4p then?

Thirdly, Hagler got props for beating Duran & Hearns. Maidana got heavy props for beating Broner....but Loma won't huh?

Again, this is why people dont take fights like these. Yall already got reasons on deck as to why Rigo loses, but badgered Loma saying he was scared if he didnt fight him:wow:

Really? Because I recall Bernard Hopkins surely benefited off of beating the smaller Trinidad & DLH.

Same with Hagler vs Hearns & Duran

Yes really.
Oscar and Tito didn't do as much for b-hop's legacy as moving up and beating Tarver and getting a lhw title from Pascal.
Same with Hagler, those fights against SRL, Hearns, and Duran were more for the smaller guy's legacy than his, his legacy is based on his skill and dominance of 160.
So I don't see what you are saying at all.

How? Hes always been at 122. :francis:




:comeon: And I'm gonna let that b.s about if hes truly p4p slide. Since we all know damn well being p4p has nothing to do with moving up in weights. If it did, then it would have the same value with moving down in weights. Loma aint doin that son

How we calling out fighters....saying we will fight him at his weight class...claim the fighter is scared and is a duck (and your fans agree)...only for the fight to be close to being signed and it changes into ":jbhmm: Rigo is too small though"


Loma said this was going to be the response and the reason why it's no purpose to fighting Rigo, and now it's being proven true already:wow:

^^^This was a featherweight fight that Rigo weighed in at 125 1/2 for....I don't know his rehydration weight.

Loma isn't moving down in weight because he's already cleared the 126 division of opponents willing to face him and has moved up to 130. And also, he's not moving down because he doesn't have too....he's the A-Side and he was called out by Rigo. Not the other way.



How yall calling Loma out to fight, knowing he fights at a higher weight than Rigo, then complain about the weight after saying for months that Loma was scared to fight & ducking?:usure:



Im not trying to hear no excuses. Yall wanted this fight, don't backtrack and try and take away props from Loma for taking on the challenge of the great Rigo who yall claim can beat him.

Im not mad...Im convinced:ufdup:


Convinced that you guys biasness shows no limits, especially when someone says Bernard Hopkins wins over DLH & Trinidad didn't do as much for his legacy as beating Tarver & Pascal or that Hagler's legacy is not based around his fights with smaller guys such as SRL, Hearns, & Duran (all in whom he fought in there very FIRST fights at MW) but instead the others he beat at 160:usure:


That's just :mindblown: to me and shows me that yall have agendas.


There's no point in Lomachenko facing Rigondeaux, bc he already said this would happen after he beats Rigo....yall saying it before they even sign the contract to make it official:snoop:


I hope Arum comes up with a scheme and pulls Loma out the fight since yall coming out with these bs weight excuses after saying Lomachenko was scared:camby:
