    The teams of Guillermo Rigondeaux (17-0, 11 KOs) and Moisés Flores (25-0, 17 KOs) have reached an agreement to fight for the World Boxing Association (WBA) super bantamweight championship. Therefore, the purse bid ordered by the WBA Championships Committee for April 3 is suspended. In the coming days, fighter contracts will reach the WBA offices located in Panama City and details for the exact date of the fight will be announced.

    Meh. Rigondeaux is slowly making his way out of the P4P list with 4 years of repeated underwhelming opposition. At the moment, he's about 9th-10th on my P4P list.

    If this guy can punch Cuban glass is getting smashed! Rigo is very fragile around the whiskers

    he was dropped in sparring by a 14 year old!

    Getting Ward and Rigo knocked out on one card would be a treat.

    How good is Flores then? can he punch? might check him out because Rigo's chin is there for the taking he's gonna be taking a KO loss soon.

    Roach also said Rigo was untouchable during training gloves sessions. I spoke to Rigo once he told he was unhappy in California also he did not like Freedy putting him to do sparring against bigger guys sometime 160 pounders.

    It's been 4 years since that win over Donaire and he's lost all the momentum from that big win.

    Rigondeaux is going to be 37 this year and there's little time left for him to land anymore major fights.

    If he gets by Flores(not a given at this point) he needs to do whatever it takes to land a big fight or he'll run out of time.
