    Very underrated fight, this is the second best fight this weekend behind Ward vs Kovalev II, most people don't know much about Flores, but he is a good, aggressive come forward fighter and in his last fight, which was one year ago on june 11, he traveled to Namibia and beat former world champion Paulus Ambunda to unify the Ambunda's IBO belt and his WBA interim belt, Flores's IBO belt will on the line for Rigondeaux. Flores's main flaw is that he is wild with his punches and that will cost him against someone with the talent of Rigo, so i expect a late TKO stoppage for Rigondeaux in a fun fight.

    Flores deserves props for being willing to get in the ring with Rigondeaux, unlike so many in and around his division. I mean Rigondeaux was literally stripped of the WBO title not for ducking anyone but because all of the mandatories the body attempted to name were the ones ducking.

    Excited to see Rigo back!

    This Flores guy, Have to admit not heard much of him but one thing I have seen is the height advantage! 5'9 I think boxrec said!

    Interesting to see how Rigo keeps him off, probably the unbelievable power he can generate for such a small guy

    Very solid, I've seen him several times, he's a few levels above Amagasa, a Flores KO victory wouldn't shock me in the least, I doubt Rigo can take some of the straight rights Chucky landed on Escandon or Cusolito.

    Rigo's been talking about Loma and LSC all week. I guess he's finally realizing he has to try and sell a fight. What's next, I wonder, Rigo learning his first words of English?

    He's been talking about them and others for years but fighting Flores on the undercard of such a big event has given him a better platform to be heard.
    Has to use this now to propel himself into a massive fight next, great chance for him

    I'm excited about Junior Younan - he was a top amateur who turned pro well before the Olympic stages. I first heard of him when he was 17 but I have no idea how good he actually is in the pro ranks.

    Rigondeaux might be too old for all we know - less likely because he does stay at fight night weight. Flores may be aggressive but so were other opponents of Rigo who did nothing.

    HBO are going to have a major hating session when Rigo is on.

    I'm very excited about it. Rigondeaux is one of my absolute favorite fighters.

    Will be a great weekend!

    Very sad that he wasn't able to fight more in his career.

    I hope this is a good fight. Agbeko was supposed to bring a good fight and look what happened.
