    Loma is good everybody knows it including Rigo. He is not giving him any advantages that he may give to lesser fighters. these two guys should fight even playing field. no advantage skewing period.

    Rigo vs Donaire that was a dare to be great against a fighter of the year award winner. that went anorexic and then blew up the night of the fight. donaire looked two weight classes bigger than Chakal.

    Loma is one of the best in the game right now. Nobody is giving him any advantages.

    BTW, nobody should **** on Rigo for not fighting Loma, we should **** on people who had a double standard for GGG and Rigo though.

    Dont ever put Rigo name in the same sentence as that Taxi driver . When Gstring steps up and fights a Fighter of the year award winner then we can talk.

    A fight between two great amateurs, who are now both top 5 p4p material.....

    It may not be a super fight to the casuals but the amount of skill between the two fighters in one ring is the definition of a super fight to the true boxing fan.

    And he allegedly weighed 122 against Amagasa on fight night. None of those fight night weights are official. The boxers often have clothes on and shoes when stepping on the scale.

    No it wouldn't have. Lomachenko has never had combined purses anywhere near as high as Donaire-Rigondeaux was, and he always takes a lopsided cut of them. Which is exactly why Walters and Salido called BS on some of his recent offers, especially given that Lomachenko is almost as much of a non-draw as Rigondeaux is.
