    I'd love for a Casimero KO, but I'm going with Rigondeaux KO. Casimero is wild and lunges in like crazy.

    Rigo is shot to bits. He was losing to Ceja and struggled with a 40yo journeyman. Out of the ring for another 18 months now since that. He turns 41 next month. Do i have to add something? Oh well...he has to cut a shitload of weight to make 118.

    Casimero will batter him and stop him in the mid rounds.

    It's hard to tell if and when Rigondeaux's decline is enough for someone like Casimero to beat him. Prime for prime, I would weigh in favor of Rigondeaux taking this clearly. Right now, I give only a slight edge to him, but this could go just about any way. Personally, I want Rigondeaux to win because I think he is the more interesting styles matchup for Inoue.

    Prime Rigo would have schooled Casimero easily, but seeing the current Rigo we have now is what makes this fight interesting and IMO it's still too close to call. 50/50 fight, much like Pac vs Spence. Spence and Casimero both have the youth and power in their favor.

    I think people are underselling Casimero's skills. Should be an interesting fight and a good test for Casimero, it'll show us how good he really is and if he can hang with Donaire or Inoue.

    Even this old version of Rigo is still fast and sharp on the inside. He may not be able to move as well as he did in his prime, but he's still got fast hands and good punching power.

    This could be an exciting scrap if Rigo decides to slug it out with Casimero. And he may actually do it since he can't move as well as he used to.

    Rigo didn't look great against his last 2 opponents, but he was hurting both guys throughout the fight. Casimero may have the youth, but Rigo's got the the savvy and the skills. I think this is a 50/50 fight.

    All these old, inactive but at one point superior fighters coming out of the woodwork.

    The fights are interesting and unpredictable in the build up but I suspect within the first round the mystery will be gone.

    Do we know for sure whether Shields or Diaz is training Rigo?

    In that case its a toss up. Rigo has looked totally uninspired his last couple fights with Shields.

    Yup, I see it as a 50/50 fight. I actually think Rigo is a slight favorite.

    Rigo is the bigger and stronger man in this fight. He's the bigger puncher, but Casimero doesn't know it yet.

    Tough fight to predict.. Rigo got rocked to his boots in his last fight but recover well and hurt back his opponent a few times for 12 rounds but fail to finish him off.
    Casimero has good power, can Rigo survive if he got hit that hard?
    I’m pretty sure Rigo will time Casimero coming in, would that be enough to deter the younger man? Can he do a Marquez on Pac?
    I don’t know.
