    Have we forgot about this fight coming up ? Should be a pretty good scrap for however long it lasts ? Does King kong have a shot against the Rigondeaux ??

    Discuss !!

    Good fight. We have seen flash knockdowns of Rigo so yes King Kong has a shot but not much of one. Rigo by UD. King Kong is tough as nails. I just don't see Rigo winning by any form of KO.

    What are the odds?

    I think Rigo should be a big favorite...

    Last week Some websites had Rigo -1000 & Agbeko +900, the average was 7 to 1.

    Will check how they are now

    The odds are now in its extreme -1300 Rigo & +1000 Agbeko, meaning people bought -1000 Rigo!

    it's near 11/1 average

    7/1 sounded about right...

    11/1 geez who would bet on that? Be better off picking a round for it to end in...

    The insiders always bet last, so now the best I can find is 12/1 on Rigo...I don't care what info they have. putting 12 to win 1 against Agbeko is unsafe :yep

    Agbeko never been stopped and he has a chance against anybody around 118

    I think Rigo is just a class above everybody at or near bantam

    Only way Rigo is losing is if the chin gives out.

    Not sure Agbeko is the man for it, although I've long been a fan of his and will be cheering him on...

    I'd be surprised, not shocked, if Agbeko managed to make the decision close.

    I saw the 24 with super hyped P4P Mares, I think 4/1 odda are logical..plus I am suspicious that Arum will let the decision go either way taking away the Rigo favored house fighter status , cause he might find Agbeko more useful..

    Thats the way I was looking at this fight I think people are overlooking Abeko because what Rigo did to Donaire and just expect him to do the same to him.
