Broner was beaten by Ponce De Leon...literally outboxed by him at times. He is not a good boxer. Rigondeaux is the most talented fighter in the world right now, on pure technical ability.
Are you guys basing this off of his "impressive" AM background, or his latest win over some bum on Pac's undercard? I mean Rigo's footwork is good and solid, but he has 10 fights for goodness sakes. We haven't seen him tested yet. AM's don't mean jack ****.
I'm not about to call Rigo more "skilled" than Broner when they both have nothing but bums on their records. Plus it's easier to appear more "skilled" when you're in a smaller weight class, remember when everyone was on that glass jawed hypejob Gamboa?
Broner's last two opponents were not bums. :nono Neither is DPDL, although that should be a loss. Ditto Rigondeaux's last four. He may only be a ten bout novice but he's already 4-0 (3) in world championship bouts against good opponents. If you think Ramos, Kennedy, Casey or Cordoba are bums (or Escobedo or Perez for that matter) you probably don't know much about the lighter weights at all.
What! :shock: This is the best example of pure " hating " that I have ever seen. Calling Gamboa a " hype job " is nothing but plain ignorance and hate. :-( Gamboa and Rigo = the two most successful and skilled pro Cuban fighters past and present.
Kennedy was another Solid contender. Didnt he kill someone in the ring?? And he beat the **** out of Diaz who had some hype going in. I heard some buzz for kennedy. Kennedy was supposed to lose, but in that fashion? I think not too many people in the division can make Kennedy look THAT ridiculously lost in there. The man didnt land a single punch.
