    This is a tough fight stylistically for Rigo. It would be Cordoba all over again.

    Moreno might be the only man to beat Rigo at 122. Cruz is moving up there but i am not really counting on him.

    Has the potential of being one of the most boring fights ever.

    With that being said Moreno doesnt have the power to trouble Rigo and without that threat Rigo would be more offensive minded and would probably pick Moreno apart and stop him in the late rounds.

    I was surprised how easily Mares got to Moreno's chin, was an eye opener for me. Until that point I really though Anselmo is going to give the major players huge problems, but if Mares got the angles through the slickness Rigo will most definitely find himself. Moreno is still relatively low on defensive mistakes, so I'd expect it going the distance, but Rigo edging most rounds.

    So it would still ultimately turn out alright for him, you're saying?

    Rigo doesn't have the chin to go in wild at Moreno like Mares was able to do.

    Rigo does have the chin to pressure him intelligently, though. I can see a lot of hard combinations landing on Moreno while he's on the ropes.

    I think this is a fight that would make Rigo look good. Moreno is truly a defensive fighter whereas Rigo is a fighter that takes the best route to victory, whether it's offense, defense, or a combination of the two. Rigo would push him back and people would see he's more than a runner.

    Rigo traded at times with Donaire, he would murder Moreno, his confidence must be sky high now i think he will be aggressive from the start

    Essentially, yes. I've always said Rigo beats anyone from 118-126 and that's when 126 had guys like Gamboa and undefeated Juanma.
