    Vasyl's manager Klimas: "When Lomachenko was fighting at 126 and was a champion at 126, the offer was put on the table to fight but then they didn't fight. I believe even two times it was offered to Rigondeaux to fight Lomachenko at 126," Klimas recalled. "They didn't want to come up to fight at 126. They said, 'Oh, let's do a catch-weight at 124'. But that never happened. Lomachenko was a 126-pound fighter, he was a champion at 126 and he says, 'Come here, we can fight.' "Now, Lomachenko comes up to 130 and even thinking of going to 135, these guys start calling. He's still a 122-pound fighter and he's calling Lomachenko to look back. But is he willing to come to 130?" And with that, Klimas has a very simple message for Team Rigondeaux. "Come to 130, be my guest," he states.

    Put up or shut up Rigoduche! Get your boy Louis Ortiz to show you how to put on weight quick and FIGHT Loma at his weight! He's the champ and don't forget "He's Da A-Side Doe!"

    Rondeaux is cursed, every champion hearing his name moves one division further. Santacruz, frampton, and even loma will end all at HW if rigo goes up in weight. 122 looks like a desert, and was absolutely stacked back then when rigo beat nonito. Suddendly, they all loved burguers... shame.

    This is ALL Rigondeaux's fault ultimately for pulling out of the 126lb fight when everything was agreed right to the T.

    Well, team Loma didn't expect it, but the latest news is Rigondeaux says he's fine with 130! Looks like this could very well happen!

    There is obviously a signifiicant size difference between them at this point. Rigo could easily make 118, while if Loma could make 126 it wouldn't be easy. Still going to be a tremendous match. Loma will not be able find and have his way with Rigo the way he has his other opponents.

    I HOPE that's true! And I'm more than certain Loma is hoping for this to be true :D

    Vasyl stops him in 8.

    Rigo turns down his own demands when Loma agreed to 124 and a rehydration clause but now they are all taking him seriously again. Guess I should be suprised they also claim GGG ducked Lara and Povetkin is a PED cheat but Luis Ortiz did nothing wrong.

    Ward's a bully when he wants Golovkin at 168. Rigondeaux's a coward when he asks Lomachenko for a compromise on weight after the courageous Lomachenko went looking down the scale for a fight.

    Supposedly Rigodouche's promoter just agreed to 130. He said they are "Calling Klimas' bluff." We shall see! I think they (Loma's team) take that 130 agreement in a heartbeat and then Rigo prices himself out.
