Rigo is "ice" to Nonito's "fire".....but I think Nonito's a perfect blend of skill, speed and power that would overcome any technical advantages that the Cuban AM Legend has.

Given Nonito is faster and more powerful the big question is....how much better is Rig as a boxer than Nonito, if at all? For me I think Rig is a slightly better defensive boxer than Nonito...who isn't really defensive at all. Nonito's style is one who's foundation is that of an offensive fighter.

Nonito gets tagged more simply because he's more of an aggressive fighter who can counter and play defense but likes to attack. Rig is on who likes to lay back, set traps and capitalize when opportunities present themselves.

Nonito and Rig are both very polished fighters who are at the peak of their careers. Nonito is younger...has more professional experience at the elite level where Rig has a bunch of international AM experience...but only a handful of pro bouts. That's a big difference.

I got Nonito beating Rig fairly one sided....a lot will have to do with the experience factor but most of the outcome will be based on the styelistic match up that favors Nonito.

I think Donaire could starch Rigo with one punch with either hand, but he simply doesn't throw enough punches. Swarmers are going to give Rigo trouble, not people who stay outside and try to pick shots. I think Mares would beat Rigo for reason.

Do you favor Rigo?

I just can't see Rig's weak ass chin holding up. People are saying hes gonna box circles around Donaire, and they may be right, but Donaires got power and speed to match. Hes gonna tag Rigo sooner or later, he isn't Margarito.

I have it a 60-40 fight for Donaire. He's got too much power at 122 for an already small guy like Rigondeaux. I do think Rigo will be extremely competitive. Probably be winning the fight and making him look silly before he gets caught.

There is a chance I'm under rating Rigo but I'm pretty sure I'm not over rating Donaire. He is top P4P and has been pro much longer. That actually does count. I think it was the last fight before Gamboa went dormant that he started to show 'a mean streak'. It really does matter in the pros.

Rigo is going to counter what a bitch.

rigo was a kid when he won his first olympic gold medal 13 years ago...

he also put it on Mares in the Ams

ROACH · 01-29-2013, 07:56 AM

You don't know shit about boxing. The problem is, Rigo only has his left hand.

His right hook is a non-factor.

He's a one handed fighter. Amateur level.

ROACH · 01-29-2013, 07:59 AM

And those comparing Mathebula to Rigo? WTF does Mathebula got to do with Rigo?

I'll tell you one thing, Rigo wouldn't beat Mathebula.

You know why?

Because Rigo gets knocked down by a jab, so he won't be able to get aggressive with a 5'11'' fighter that dwarfs him, not only in height, but in reach.

On top of that, Rigo has no right hook.

SO how the fuck would he beat Matehbula?

He wouldn't. Mathebula pecks at him from a distance and wins a decision. My money is on Rigo being too scared to even TRY to win, just like against Cordoba where he let it go to the scorecards.

ROACH · 01-29-2013, 08:07 AM

And for the record, this fight is not happening because it's bad business for Arum.

If Rigo somehow wins, that's a huge set back considering the only one with star potential is Donaire.

If Rigo loses, he fades into obscurity considering he has only a niche fan base as it is. He's a negative fighter that speaks spanish, and he's over 30.

This fight won't happen unless it absolutely has to, and Rigo will get knocked out.
