Great fight for both. Vic D. looked excellent in his last outing and awkward enough to give Rigo G. some problems. He's a good name, the Cuban holds a good title, so whoever wins will be in a better position at negotiations.
I'd fear for Rigo here actually. Rigo is ridiculously talented but he's been rocked enough for me to think that Vic could get him out of there.
Rigo will have a ball with Vic style , so open and slowing down ,his power is almost gone. If he can't get Donaire I'm ok with this fight. But then Rigo's detractors will claim that Vic was already done.
This wouldn't be as good as beating Vic from 2007-2009, but this would still be the biggest named fighter win of note for Rigo. And beating Vic at this point still isn't that bad at all considering most fighters that have beaten him are elite fighters from their division (Mares, Agbeko, Moreno). He lasted the distance from all his losses (some were competitive) except his 1st loss against you know who. Beating Vic is still a solid win :good
Are you saying that the undefeated WBA @ 122 champion of the world should fight a 38 years old 118 pounder with many losses instead of another champion in a unification bout from his own weight class?...Donaire fans...
If Donaire-Mares gets made, who do you think should Rigo fight then? Another layoff maybe? :think Darchinyan's gonna be one of the best win for Rigo (if not the best) Deal with it!!! :deal
