No that he gives 3 shits about belts but would be a way to stay active collecting some awards. Fighting a Mexican always guarantee a sold out venue and I believe he gained more than one Mexican fan last Saturday.
Just read a piece at espn that said his manager wants Carl Framptom next, if it can be arranged. Frampton or Mares, but we know Mares ain't happening.
Mijares/Terrazas winner makes too much sense not to happen. It will be that or Darchinyan for Rigo, I believe. Frampton would be cool.
It's only a matter of time before Rigondeaux becomes the undisputed super bantamweight champion of the world.
Frampton isn't ready, he said himself the only two fights he isn't ready for are Rigondeaux and Donaire IIRC.
Yeah Frampton would get outclassed badly here, doubt it comes off though considering he's mandatory for the IBF.
I heard Hyde saying he wasn't considering Frampton . Maybe someone like Agbeko wants to move up for a challenge. Depends of how Vic looks his next fight it can be considered. No really that many names.
Really? Hyde said in this story on ESPN he was interested in Frampton: http://espn.go.com/blog/new-yorkboxing/post/_/id/3644/hyde-wants-mares-or-frampton-next-for-rigo As for Rigondeaux against the Terrazas-Mijares winner, I like that fight a lot and it seems logical given the promotional affiliations of the 3 fighters, but I could WBC anti-unification nonsense keeping it from happening.
That's a sweet little accomplishment right there. Rigo's arrow is pointed directly upwards towards the heavens.
Wouldnt mind him fighting Frampton, would be a destruction and then the casuals can see Rigo can be exciting
"I don't think it will happen. Frampton sells a lot of ticketsover there. He can sell 9,000 tickets and I don't think he would come over [to the United States] for Rigondeaux," Hyde said. This is what he said at the scene, but now I realize that doesn't rule out Rigo traveling to Ireland .
Yeah he gained more then one mexican fan, I'm sure. He didn't fight scared how I thought he would he actually used superior ring general ship, I blame donaire for the lack of action and not applying intelligent aggressiveness, put Mares in there shows Donaire hows it done, I blame donaire for lack of action mother ****er was just staring at rigo ****ing him up lol.... like is every fighter supposed to stand in front of you and come at you cause your a counter puncher, seems to me like donaire needs to finnesse his skills and like rigo said, Donaire has been reliant to much on his power one shot don't win fights even though he has won many like that, Rigo was on another level compared to others and with rigo he needed more to his game then just power. Also I really would like Rigo Terrazas, Rigo Salido, Rigo Burgos. Mikey garcia is another good fight.
Rigo Frampton won't happen at least for a while. Maybe a unification in a couple of years - would just be really unwise at this stage of Frampton's career, as he would lose and has momentum and is building up a name. I like Frampton, he's a good fighter but still on the learning path.
Mijares vs Rigo would be an excellent fight later on in the year, two quality operators and it would be a very good win on Rigo's resume. Frampton would be getting thrown to the Lions if he was to fight Rigo, a fight like that would ruin his momentum and he's get dominated imo. He already is the highest ranking contender with the IBF, and the champ, Johnathon Romero is the weakest belt holder at 122, so im guessing that Framptons team would go down that route. Either Romero or Quigg
