    The jackal has said he'll move up to 130 lbs to face lomachenko

    To me, his team realizes the options are limited and are looking to cash out in a fight against perhaps the top fighter on the planet. A bigger, younger and more active opponent

    IF rigondeaux were to win clearly he would have to be far and away the top boxer on the planet at the moment AND one of the top boxers ever

    The question is what price is his team looking for to make it happen

    Cash out for Rigo... His team seem to realize now that there's not much time left.

    Loma beats him clearly now. Too active, too strong, and too young. Especially at either 126 or 130.

    Word. If rigo was prime and they were naturally the same size I'd go for him though

    Hey, why not?

    Despite being smaller, Rigo is better than anyone at 130 anyway, including the fraud known as Gervonta Davis.

    Loma has to be a clear favorite, but if Rigo pulls it off it'll be one of the most impressive wins of recent times.

    This Fight Exceeded its Shelf Life 1-2 Years Ago, @ '26...

    Doubtful Rigondeaux Lasts 12 Rounds w/Lomachenko, @ '30, Nevermind Beats Him...

    Loma would be too big for Rigo

    Sucks, but Lomachenko Can Only Do Soooooo Much to Get Salido Back in the Ring...Looks Like it's Time to Move On...

    Salido HAS to Realize he Won't Make Near as Much Against Anyone Else???...
