Meh I got money all over the streets with this fight this lil 50 bucks is inconsequential

How the fuck has Rigo fought so few times? My lighter weight class knowledge is shit, so I'm open for the schooling on him and his opponent.

Also, Pacquiao being raped in the pockets and reaching out to McGregor is sad. Like him or not, Pac's legacy is earned and I hate to see him reaching to the peanut gallery for scraps.

They both have extensive amateur backgrounds and are regarded by some as two of the best amateurs in history. Lomachenko has right under 400 amateur fights and 2 gold medals. Rigondeaux has almost 500 amateur fights and 2 gold medals.

Can't believe you don't know who either is, regardless of weight class haha

ESPN Confirms Teddy Atlas Won't Work Loma-Rigo Broadcast

By Keith Idec

Longtime ESPN boxing analyst Teddy Atlas won’t work the cable network’s telecast Saturday night of the highly anticipated Vasyl Lomachenko-Guillermo Rigondeaux fight.

Yahoo! Sports’ Chris Mannix reported Wednesday that the outspoken Atlas, a former trainer who has worked ESPN boxing broadcasts for nearly 20 years, won’t take his usual ringside seat alongside blow-by-blow announcer Joe Tessitore in The Theater at Madison Square Garden. The move comes less than month after Atlas spent a significant portion of an ESPN broadcast verbally sparring against Mark Kriegel, a former newspaper columnist and new member of the network’s announcing team.

That distracting dynamic drew criticism from television and radio columnists and fans following the November 11 broadcast from Fresno, California.

It is not known if the arguing between the always-animated Atlas and Kriegel had anything to do with Atlas’ removal from the Lomachenko-Rigondeaux broadcast or if it’s a permanent move. Stephanie Druley, an ESPN senior vice president for event and studio production, did tell Mannix that Staten Island’s Atlas, 61, has provided a feature piece for Saturday’s telecast and will continue to contribute to the network’s boxing coverage.

“Teddy’s expertise and knowledge of boxing is unparalleled and he will continue to be part of our boxing coverage,” Druley said. “As we embark upon a new approach with our boxing coverage, we are also going to utilize different talent lineups.”

She did not confirm the team that’ll work Saturday’s telecast.

The four-fight telecast is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. EST/6 p.m. PST. In addition to the 12-round, 130-pound title bout between Ukraine’s Lomachenko (9-1, 7 KOs) and Cuba’s Rigondeaux (17-0, 11 KOs, 1 NC), it’ll include fights featuring 2016 Olympic silver medalist Shakur Stevenson (3-0, 1 KO), a featherweight from Newark, New Jersey, Irish featherweight prospect Michael Conlan (4-0, 4 KOs) and Puerto Rican super featherweight contender Christopher Diaz (21-0, 13 KOs).

Good he was getting paid under the table to overhype Loma I could already tell

[marc123]

[OmegaConflict]

If rigo gets dominated alot of so called boxing experts will be embarrassed

No they won't. Most boxing experts are picking Lomachenko to win (rightfully so). He holds most of the advantages here. If Loma loses, then you can say those boxing experts are going to be embarrased. Rigo is a 3-1 underdog for a reason.

 

[Valentinez A. Kaiser]

Rigo's the older guy, smaller guy, less activity over the last few years, not the one being hyped by so-called experts as P4P, and ultimately Bob Arum's cash-cow aka Pacquiao 2.0

 

[aneed123]

plus he was blackballed for beating arums last cash cow in nonito
