Rigo is highly skilled, but i think those skills best suit him fighting orthodox fighters, Donaire would likely bamboozle him.
I don't think Nonito is ready for someone with Rigondeaux's experience. Rigo has lived boxing all his life in Cuba and won two gold medals. Nonito knows boxing and he can see the mastery that Rigo displays, hence the obvious ducking. Nonito needs to grow a sack if he wants to be great, Rigo has made it well known he wants Nonito asap.
I don't really care who wins, I just want to see it. A fight with Mares can't happen, so why not Rigo? It's not as if he brings less to the table than some of Donaire's recent opponents. In an ideal world, Rigo would face the Mares-Moreno winner but the GBP-Top Rank feud will find a way to **** that up too.
he is already great and his resume speaks for it unlike david reid from the lower weights, rigo has a lot of experience from the olympics but too bad he can't take the one thing that would help him in the pros.... his protective headgear
Yeah that old chestnut, if you'd ever boxed you'd understand just how protective the head gear is. Rigo got caught by a flush left hook from a good puncher, didn't go down and recovered almost immediately and all the sheep on here still carry on about his chin? He proved his chin in his last fight.
If you can't see the yawning chasm that separates the ams from the pros, i can't help you there mate. :good
If you can't see that boxers learn their game in the amateurs, I can't help you there mate. :good Pro game is the money game, amateurs is the sport.
I lol'ed at the simplistic cluelessness and utter ignorance of the higlighted. ...Whatever floats a noob's/am's boat is fine by me. :good
