your stars are but dust on my shoes
I really hate that Ortiz is so old and got a bunch of other red flags to him, cause he truly does possess a great set of skills we don't see much in HWs. It makes sense for everyone else in the division to play the waiting game for as long as they can though, they hope that age and inactivity will catch up to Ortiz.

Brian Carlos Castano



This Saturday he has a interim 154 WBA clash against Michel Soro, in France.


If you can, try to see this, it's an interesting fight on paper.

What's that? Fight Night Champions?

It's a joke about level of comp. You know the jobbers at the beginning were random created players like them japanese opponents of rigo were :heh:

I like Rigo's skill...yall know I have him in my top 5 most skilled today.

It's crazy yall call it slander when I'm saying looking at his current draw, if he was offered 350k to face Loma...he should take it bc he's unknown and his fans dont tune in or show up. That's more of an indictment on Rigo fans if anything.

Secondly, I'm saying since he's so avoided at 122, and is willing to move up to 130 for Lomachenko, why not move up to 126 where there's a better selection of opponents which, if yall cared about his paydays then yall know Featherweight has bigger names than Super Bantamweight which will undoubtedly equal bigger paydays bc theres more names...and even Rigondeaux himself agreed breh.:manny:


I enjoy Rigo, but i dont want him turning down good money, respective to his draw, because he has a disconnect between how much he wants vs how much he brings in:hubie:

I agree with you about moving up to 126.

But he hasn't said anything about the money he would want, he tweeted #ShowMeTheMoney breh

Rigo needs Loma more than Loma needs Rigo and we all know it...

However, REGARDLESS of the A/B side situation of the business side of it, all boxing fans want to see this fight because it's a once in a lifetime situation we may never get again.

2 undefeated, p4p talented, 4 gold medals (2 each) having fighters... unbelievable match-up :whoo:

Rigo would be up against it though, moving up 2 weight classes, 36, hasn't been in against good competition in awhile... but it's a risk he'll have to take to reclaim that top p4p spot once again. I won't front like Magdaleno hasn't been calling this man out, by name, isn't a champion, and wouldn't be a dope match-up for Rigo, ... but it's still a 2nd option compared to Loma.

As for Loma, he and his people know that his "spot" doesn't need Rigo at the moment to solidify it. Therefore, from a risk-VS-reward standpoint, they're probably looking at the winner of either of the 7/15 bouts.

HOWEVER, a quick turn-around for August doesn't sound realistic, and who else could he face that would be more beneficial than Rigo in August? Tank got Salido, Uchiyama is coming off 2 back to back loses, Jhonny Gonzalez puts the fear of GAWD in every opponent... oh, wait...

...There's a certain 126 champion that's desperate for that Loma run-back, Gary Russell Jr.



With all that said, here's how I see things from both perspectives...

1st Option for Loma: Winner of 1 of the 7/15 bouts
2nd Option for Loma: 126 champ Gary Russell Jr.
3rd Option for Loma: 122 champ Guillermo Rigondeaux

1st Option for Rigo: 130 champ Vasyl Lomachenko
2nd Option for Rigo: 122 champ Jessie Magdaleno
3rd Option for Rigo: Variable....
