Nobody is really talking about this bout, which kind of surprises me. Going to be a great fight with two very skilled guys in the prime of their careers. Don't like how inactive Rig has been; or the fact that he struggled with Cordoba. On that note, I don't like how Ramos looked somewhat lackluster in his last bout with a southpaw until the KO. So, it makes for an interesting matchup, with no clear favorite IMO.
yeah there has been a decent amount of talk about this fight that i have seen and i was on the site as well . i like rigondeux but i think he is boring but effective , i think rigo is gunna dominate this fight in a snooze fest
Nobody is talking about this fight anywhere really. And I doubt it's going to be a snooze-fest. Just don't see that happening.
Definately a pick em fight up to +350 at some casinos....im just worried about steve jenkins getting dismissed from the camp. Who is training rico right now?
This is definitely not a pick 'em fight. There's a massive difference in class and I'll be lumping money on Rigondeaux if there are any decent odds at all.
I just can't see this being much on an action fight. Both fighters seem quite cautious and and prefer to let their opponent to lead off. I'm still going to watch it though because they are quality fighters and I think it should be competitive.
I just did a poll on this fight, over 90% of fans think Rigondeaux will win and yes many fans are interested!
Rico vs Rigo :bbb Rigo is a clear favourite, but there's a very good chance he'll get Shimoda'd, because he allegedly has quite the feeble chin.
Rigo is clear betting favourite. We'd all be dismissing this fight as in the bag for him if he'd fought 5 times in 2011 like he should have. He needs to fight that number this year.
People always overstate perceived mismatches. Narvaez was supposed to be KTFO by Donaire, remember? :yep (and yes, I know he fought very safety-first...but still. Nonito was supposed to be able to render him unconscious no matter what...let alone Narvaez being a crafty, durable and highly intelligent boxer, a long-reigning champion leading the sport in consecutive world title successes, and undefeated at the time) I favor Rigondeaux, but by no means heavily. I'm guessing most people's only exposure to Ramos was against Shimoda. That would be typical ESB for you. "That *insert name* is so *insert adjective*!" - based on a single viewing.
