Rigo vs Loma set for 126?
- Thread starter GzUp
- Start date
GREENandYELLOW
2x...and defending
One of my most desired matchups. Wonder what network it will be on.
The rehydration clause is fair, since Rigo isn't making Loma go down to 124.
If Rigo does in fact sign with PBC this fight would have to take part outside of that, correct? TR used Lomachenko as their pick to fight on the Floyd-Pac fight. So it makes me wonder which US network would televise this.
I can't bet against rigo, I think rigo gking to be to fast for Loma
126 a catch weight ? That's the feather limit..how's that a catchweight?
It's just a rehydration clause that was put in.
That makes even less sense...they cant rehydrate past 126?
Wiegh in 126, fight night I believe was no more then 134
It's not a catchweight breh. It's at the full Featherweight limit for Loma's Championship, but there's a rehydration clause for max of 134lbs on fight night.
Guillermo Rigondeaux agrees to fight Vasyl Lomachenko at 126lbs

Dual super-bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux is set to meet WBO featherweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko at 126lbs.
Rigondeaux's camp had originally suggested 124lbs would be the catchweight but after further negotiations, have compromised with the addition of a rehydration clause.
The Cuban - who holds the WBA 'super' and WBO belts at 122lbs - is managed by Graham Hyde who told World Boxing News: "Lomachenko's manager Egis Klimas is very interested in his charge fighting Rigo. He agrees with me that it’s the best fight out there for both fighters.
"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.
"When you take (Nonito) Donaire's weight of 140 when he fought Rigo into account, 134 is much more favourable to us.
"I have relayed this to Rigo and we will make an announcement soon."
After both established themselves as top amateurs, Rigondeaux is unbeaten in 15 fights as a professional while Ukrainian Lomachenko has moved to 4-1-KO2, challenging unsuccessfully for a world title in only his second pro fight before winning the WBO title next time out

the fight went from no chance of losing now we hear this?
yup rigo is probably gonna win. loma should have never agreed to these terms.
is he K2. what the fukk was WLAD and nem thinking?
Loma is the a- side he is much more known and he is atop the 126 pound divison why take this risk?
From what I've seen Loma doesnt sit on his punches enough or at all... He's gonna have to hit rigo with some shyt to win the fight.

Great news!!! I think no matter what weight they fight at Rigo takes the young lion to school. Rigo can do everything Loma does but a little better
