Rigo looks cut as already in recent pics. We found be in for a treat. Rigo had been known to Stink out the place but I feel Loma's style won't allow that to happen.
I can see Rigo defying the odds and winning a decision, but if I had to put money on one of them, I would for sure pick Loma.
Wow these are my two favourite fighters right now.
But Loma is the more popular guy, the real star in this event, so he'll definately get the decision if it's close. I mean just imagine getting a loss against a "boring" fighter like Rigo.
And also, Go Rigo!
So, in this weeks episode of boxing fuckery,,,,the WBA has decided if Rigo loses this 130 fight he loses his 122 belt. His belt that “is not on the line”
Such complete BS
That’s weird
Yeah that's BS, he only defended it in June, even if that fight was changed to a nc. Has Rigo indicated to them that he won't be returning to 122? I know he has expressed interest in fighting a number of feathers who ran from him.Quote:

Yea 5 days is a pretty quick turn around. Rigo had been mucked around so much by the sanctioning bodies, stripping and then reinstated etc.Quote:

From what i understand the fights at 130. 138 is the max both fighters can weigh the morning of the fight @9am. After that I guess its a free for all at the buffet till the night of. Very similar situation to what the GGG /Jacobs situation should've/would've been had Jacobs not blown off the IBF weigh in. Ideally you just start sipping water/sodium or electrolytes after the weigh in so your body takes on the water before your body purges it in that first couple of hours. Your body will need the water to process any food. Small snacks help if you can manage them. (in this case water/electrolytes/ etc will max out at 8lbs) Then after then after the second weigh in transition from snacks/ pedialyte/ Gatorade, chicken stock to small meals so your body can absorb it. It's the only way to keep the food water down in that time frame.Quote:

You lose your titles on the scales and you're weak from all the retching.
Loma tends to come in around 139. I think he'll be fine for this.
