    Still no Rigondeaux fans?

    I expect a lot of Rigondeaux defeated Ramos who defeated Ruiz..

    That's the best you can argue.. :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Yoda should stay at 122 where only the filipino would give him problems. 126 belongs to Russell

    Rigo wins, Russell has a lot lf skill, but Rigo is the Bruce Lee of boxing.

    what about if Russell goes down to 122?
    Rigo is a natural BW who step into SBW for better fights...
    i really like Russell Jr, really love his skills but he is a natural FW. His big task at FW is beating Mikey Garcia.

    There's no way Rigo beats Russell by decision, he doesn't throw enough and Russell usually always throws in combination. Gary either wins by decision, or Rigo knocks him out, I voted for Gary by decision. I think Russell is for real.

    After Russell throws combos hes open, Rigo would take advantage of that and none of the combos would land, i say rigo by tko in the late rounds when Russell walks onto something

    If rigo can take his power with the weight gain then he has a very good chance of beating russell. Russell is more aggressive and Rigo is more of a counter puncher. Rigo may be able to slow russell down with body shots and take him out later or Russell can be to busy and win a decision. This is a fight I would pay to see. Right now I would pick Rigo because of experience and I really like the south paw from both but I truly favor Rigo over anyone at the lower weights and Russell needs just a few more fights before he is on par with Rigo. Only true problem I have with russell is he has the Floyd mayweather hands problem and may have to resort to pot shotting against rigo and that would play right into Rigo hands.
