Chinchecker Opinions NEEDED: Does RIGONDEAUX have a GLASS JAW?

Yes. I've been saying it since that fight but nobody wants to believe that their heroes can be flawed. He is still a tremendous Boxer and I think he could give Donaire all he could handle and then some, but his Chin is going to be his Achilles' Heel and will lead to some upset losses that shouldn't have happened otherwise.

 

just off balance like the cotto jab against clottey. but it was still a KD.

 

Off balance? That stopped his own punch and buckled his knees.

 

That's a "Straight right hand" down the pipe by an ortho fighter.
Hmmmmmm...

 

Indeed, that is a proper knockdown via Jab, nothing to do balance.

:rofl:roflatsch

If you are standing Southpaw and throw a straight punch with the lead hand it is not a straight right, it is a Jab.

 

Umm... He's Cuban.

Nuff said.

 

Have to see him get hit with a big shot. That jab hitting his face was the perfect scenario. Cordoba coming forward with a jab, while Rigondeaux steps forward right into it. Cotto put Clottey down with a jab. Clottey has one of the better chins in boxing. **** happens sometimes. I think Rigondeaux chin is still up for debate.

 

Read my post again... And you won't lose pts. :good
(Assuming most understand boxing... My post is clear)

That punch is the equivalent of a straight right by an "Ortho"
Get it now??

 

Also important is that he somehow turned into a shell later in the fight. That shows that he was hurt and he didn't like it at all.

 

Yeah, I got ya now, I thought you were insinuating that Cordoba was a natural Orthodox fighter standing Southpaw and that that would make the Jab a straight right. Just worded a little confusingly.

If that would have been a straight right he would have been KTFOed.

 

Not a straight right though. It was a jab.

Glassmo Rigondeaux

 

He got dropped by a jab,so yea when he faces a puncher with skills he might get put to sleep.
