    I think he would give Donaire problems, I don't want to poo-poo Donaire, but Rigo would be a stiff stiff test. He's fundamentally solid, fast, and legitimately knows what he wants to do in there and does it an elite level.

    **** analysis. Rigondeaux has boxing skill that the real fans appreciate. Also is powerful. Just a boxing masterclass with great skill. As spoken by Mayweather, You don't know **** about boxing!

    We must have been watching different fights. I thought it was really exciting. The 1st round knockdown and the knockout should be enough to entertain casual fans. That KO was an amazing combination. Seeing Ramos scared shitless to throw a punch is worth the price of admission. Rigondeuax is knocking people out he is dominant

    he is far from a prospect. the guy won 2 gold medals in the olympics and had 400 plus amatuer fights. the only reason he started fighting now is because he just escaped communist cuba............................

    Rigondeaux's game plan is to bore you to death and when you get caught slipping go in for the kill.

    which actually works..

    I told my boxing buddies just to wait for the other guy to get antsy and then they'll open up.

    game over.

    Rigo is one overyhyped fighter. He got no power and his workrate is ****. I think peple gets too much excited by his flasy moves and his physique.

    Tell that to Ramos

    As is clear by his 7 knockouts in 9 wins

    Rigondeaux is an awesome counter puncher, but he, Gamboa, and Lara look less comfortable when they're confronted with somebody moving away from them. They have trouble setting up their attacks when pressuring.

    MPETERSON, and what's wrong with golf, I LOVE golf, meet a lotta' White women out there. When so (too) much is written about a two-time, experienced Olympian, I expect a LOT more than a guy afraid to initiate something against a guy that's PETRIFIED. He really should've rolled over Rico and I GUARANTEE, he won't get to stand there taking pics if he fights Donaire or Vazquez. I'd rather watch a couple of prelims that are competitive instead of a 20time world champ Hopkins that drags it out with his fkn' hitting and holding and faking ijuries, OR a Bad Mfkr like David Haye who shows NO MERCY.

    Nice win for Rigondeaux, I figured Ramos would put up a better effort but he was never in the fight. Rigondeaux has a ton of talent but his style has been less than exciting so far, he needs the right opponent to bring an exciting fight out of him. A lot of talent from guys at 118-126 for Rigendoux to face and I'm really looking foward to seeing some of these.

    Thank ****ing science that KO came to save us from another six rounds of boredom. I don't know if you've seen Running Rico Ramos fight before, but he is ALWAYS ****ing boring. More boring than Rigondeaux. Ramos + Rigondeaux = one hell of a boring match. You can say it was entertaining all you want, but I will not watch that crap again.
