    You don't even understand how weight classes work or why there's a larger gap in the higher weights :rofl

    happy with this. It's fair. rigos giving a little by going up 4lbs and lomas giving a little with the rehydration clause, i do feel it could be a 10lb rehydration though.

    Out of curiosity, how much does Loma rehydrate anyway?

    I just read loma rehydrated to 136 v salido so 134 shouldn't be a major problem. At a guess i reckon rigo will be 130ish so there shouldn't be any major size advantage here

    Better than draining him 4 lbs, am I right? Or how about bring a jr middleweight down to welterweight. Maybe Loma should've gone down 2 lbs like Cotto did for Pac? :think

    Oh but of course shocky, the only thing surprising about your pick is that it's not Rigo by KO.

    134 rehydration should be no issue for Lomachenko. I think his highest fight night unofficial weight was 136 for GRJ which fighters usually have either street clothes or gloves on for. Theres no real protocol for it, if they can get it they get it whenever they can before fight.

    In other fights Loma has weighed unofficially between 129 and 134 IIRC, so fighting in a real weight division with a "no Salido move" clause is a pretty good compromise IMO.

    well cafe...i get the impression you feel like i favor colored fighters or something....or dont like any eastern bloc fighters....which is not true at all....couldnt be further from the truth

    just because you might see me bash ggg fans and their standards....doesnt mean i dont like him or appreciate him as a fighte
