    Rigo is like GGG. If you take the fight you get beaten, and it won't be a pretty sight.

    Only real men take that challenge, or guys from higher weightclasses.

    He does, but he's in the same ballpark of "avoid when possible and use as many diva antics as possible while you're at it"

    IBF have reiterated that Frampton must also fight their mandatory Shingo Wake.

    Not happening, they already said it, kind of a duck on Frampton's side.

    Rigo brings the prestige if being the best SBW in the world. The only risk is he loses a boring fight and vacates anyways.

    Rigo is a FARCE. He should accept that he's boring as hell. He's already a true Boxing Great anyway because of what he achieved before he turned pro.

    Besides Loma, but Loma's not quite human, so it's an acceptable omission. :deal

    Loma's also bigger so he's more willing. I was specifically referring to anyone worth a damn in his weight class though.

    Are you a fan or a promoter? stop excusing the nonsense of running and dropping a belt does not look good on your fighter everybody knows the guy to beat is Rigo.

    It's possible. He was finally hurting a heavy Salido late in the fight once he stopped fighting like an amateur and started fighting like a pro. Rigo would be Loma's smallest opponent, no? Let's look at the tale of the tape, shall we?

    Loma is 5'7", 65" reach with a 60% KO rate (not counting his loss) against men bigger than Rigo. Loma was 138 vs GRJ, 136 vs Salido.

    Rigo is 5'4" with a 68" reach with a 63% KO rate. Rigo was 128 vs Marroquin and 124 vs Cordoba.

    Seeing as Rigo has been dropped, NOT HURT, against guys in his weight class, wouldn't surprise me if Loma hurt him. And Loma weighs roughly 10 lbs more on fight night. I'd like this fight more if they were closer in size but everything is stacked in Loma's favor.
