I think it will be an interesting fight
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

Not clear on same day weight check, is 138 max rehydration clause? If I'm going by his last fight Loma will be cutting it close. Still think Rigo really needed a fight to wear in the new bulk he's putting on.
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.
Starve/drain yourself too much and then stuff yourself after a weigh in will just having you puking into a wastepaper basket like mikey garcia in an elevator and bloating before the JM Lopez fight. Your body knows it doesn't have the water to process the food and starts heaving... any nutrition that does make its way into your body, your body clings to and stores. You lose your titles on the scales and you're weak from all the retching.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

Loma tends to come in around 139. I think he'll be fine for this.
