Does he offer Donaire a rematch? I'm not sure if Donaire's handlers will want it. Rigo would as he will make the most money he will have made as this time he will have more barganing power. Does Rigo move up to 126 as there are clearly no other big names left at 122lb? Rigo hasn't fought there but in order to build a fan base and continue up on the pound for pound list is to take a risk. What do you think is the best option for Rigo?
he could go for a rematch with donaire but donaires allready bitching about not being able to make weight so i doubt it will happen.. he could collect some good scalps though id really love to watch him take on mares or agbeko (though i think they are both GB fighters..) based on rigos age and weight i doubt he is going to leave his division anytime soon which is a shame but awell
Rigo is a career 122lber, he walks around at something like 124-125 so not sure if he will move up. It's hard to see what the future is for him though because up and comers won't want to fight him, so maybe he will have to move up to get fights eventually.
There isnt much for him unfortunately. He just destroyed the superstar of the division in his 12th fight...where do you go from there?? As an Irishman,Ill throw Framptons name into the hat.
I think its too soon for Frampton, and realistically he will probably never be ready for the Rigo of last night. I think McGuigan and co said that he wasn't ready for the Rigo's and Donaires yet: if Frampton got the IBF belt then maybe a unification fight might happen down the line.
if he wants to move up there are lots of fights. like mares. but if he stays at the weight he is at now just do the only thing u can do n just keep fighting guys in the top of the division .
the next best guy is probably Leo santa Cruz maybe a fight between them can happen next or Sinsuke Yamanaka if he moves up other than those two maybe a Donaire rematch, he could also go to Ireland and show Frampton who's the real jackal.
Who is going to want to fight him? A difficult fight for anyone, his stock just went up but the top guys are going to duck unless the money is right.
ESPN, Yahoo, and Arum all say, correctly, that he's going to have a hell of a time getting big fights. Too good, too boring.
He did all that yesterday, not saying he's not doing it today and tomorrow. He needs to stay focused, less motivating fights are coming, and that could be an issue. In the end since Bob Arum wanted Donaire to win I see him cashing out on Rigo and letting him fight Mares on Showtime for the right offer, or Schaefer can make HBO eat some crow and offer enough to bring the fight to Time Warner under Golden Boy Promotions. If GBP is ready to match Mares with Rigo, there's just too much money for Arum to earn off a fighter he doesn't respect to pass on.
