    Hisashi Amagasa did not come out for the 12 having been battered by Rigo, but put up a great fight putting him down twice.

    Rigo's promoter called out LSC afterwards

    He put up a good fight until he stopped coming forward. He hurt Rigo with the only punch that landed in the flurry after the 1st knockdown but the 2nd knockdown was a push. As soon as he stopped coming forward and putting the pressure on which was about the 9th or 10th he was done.

    Frampton would shatter Rigo's glass.

    In fact I think Quigg would too... depending on if he enters the fight with the right gameplan because that's Quigg's biggest flaw imo.

    Rigondeaux struggled big time trying to get on the inside of this rangy opponent, lateral movement did working by there looks of is opponents face in the 11th, was a pity it didn't go 12 rounds, his opponent earn it with the 2 knock downs according to the ref

    This makes the Super Bantam Division really interesting for the year ahead

    The Rigo avoidable at all cost may now have gone and the other 3 belt holders will be thinking whether it is wise to be the first to take him on.

    Rigo seems too small for feather and you could not imagine him standing up to the shots of Waters

    My wish list for 2015 Super Bantam is a combination of:

    • Rigo
    • Frampton
    • Quigg
    • LSC
    • Mares
    • Donaire - not Rigo II
    • Galahad

    That is the best division outside WW. Some very very good boxers in there. If it wasn't for Floyd and Pac, this would be p4p the best.

    Talk of a possible fight between Lomachenko/Rigo at 126. I pick Lomachenko to stop Rigo...............

    WW isn't even the best division. Cruiserweight and Flyweight are the best two in boxing, undoubtedly.

    Was surprised to hear Rigo was knocked down, but looking at the fight the guy was pretty massive in comparison to Rigo. Still it's not the first time he's been down.

    Mouthwatering potential fights vs Lomachenko, Frampton and/or Quigg.

    would be a top fight that...ive never seen a boxer like Lomachenko before he uses every inch of ring to attack from all angles
