As a Loma fan, I'm disappointed with his next opponent

    If Ward went up to HW while retaining his LHW belts and got stopped after landing great shots and giving a HW a good fight but ultimately losing to size, I wouldn't trash a LHW for fighting him for the belt the next fight. Context is key.

    I'm consistent. All you have to do is understand the context of the situation.

    "If Ward went up to HW while retaining his LHW belts and got stopped after landing great shots and giving a HW a good fight but ultimately losing to size, I wouldn't trash a LHW for fighting him for the belt the next fight. Context is key."-Previous post if you didn't read it.

    Ok. Let's say Berchelt moved up to 140 to fight Crawford and was launching crawford in the air with uppercuts and then ultimately loss because of size. If he retained those belts and Loma fought him next, I would not criticize the fight. It's for a belt and berchelt has a win over Vargas.

    Marriaga has 0 notable wins, literally 0. The guy is coming off a loss, and is moving up in weight.

    You cannot possibly be this dense? I am not playing, run someone else around in circles.

    In other words you have no argument. You're not playing? So you basically initiate contact with me, we argue, and when I ask you to back up your claims with actual evidence you back out. Ok. Bye. Nice playing.

    Ive clocked it with him, he just moves the goal posts on everything so he can convince himself hes never wrong..Spence would get crucified if he fought someone coming off a loss!!!!!!! pmsl, it was recent as well, not like a bad memory with him, he just doesn't tell the truth !

    Wrong about what? My post said imagine if Spence/Crawford fought someone coming off a loss "next", anyways. Which neither are. Yes, technically Spence was fighting someone coming off a loss, but if you actually understand the context of it, it's not even comparable. Spence was fighting for a title against someone who was considered the #1 or #2 WW, Lomachenko is fighting a guy with 0 notable wins, not even considered a top 10 FW, moving up in weight, and coming off a loss.

    Context is always key. The fact that you're trying to compare Spence and Lomachenko's situation exposes your agenda. It's obvious what kind of poster you are, and what fighters you like.

    Sure, I could have been more specific in my original reponse, but I think what I was implying was pretty clear. If Crawford and Spence were fighting someone with 0 notable wins, coming off a loss, and moving up in weight, they would be crucified by posters like you, Willis, and Todd. Do you disagree with this?

    How is it Lomachenko's fault?

    Rigo already turned down the fight at 126 claiming he was too small but all of a sudden we should believe he really wants the fight at 130?

    When did Rigo turn the fight down at 126? Not sure how exactly Rigo/Loma disagreeing to a rehydration clause a long ass time ago, has to do with Loma fighting someone with 0 notable wins coming off a loss.

    You and Willis were trying to take what I said completely out of context, and trying to imply that the Loma/Spence situations are even remotely comparable. I'll copy paste what I said again, so the usual suspects don't try to take what I said out of context.

    "If Crawford and Spence were fighting someone with 0 notable wins, coming off a loss, and moving up in weight, they would be crucified by posters like you, Willis, and Todd. Do you disagree with this?"

    Maybe he should of got Jazza Dickens into tge ring instead eh?

    Rigo is trolling Lomo, he has no intention of ever fighting Lomachenko, especially at 130.

    If Rigo dared to be great he'd of fought Lomachenko at 126, no bull just fight, instead he's content to go through his career fighting sub par opposition.

    Lomachenko ran out of opponents willing to fight at 126, he moved up, dared to be great.....why doesn't Rigo?

    Let me ask you again. What does Rigo/Loma not agreeing to terms have anything to do with Loma fighting a guy coming off a loss with no notable wins. That is the argument. Don't try and change the subject.
