    I mean, he's proven that he could become a star in the sport by beating a Top 10 P4P fighter in Donaire. And in only his 12th pro fight, no less!

    Yes. This was my first time seeing him and he's much better than I imagined.

    Sure, he's a purist wet dream. I can appreciate his skillset, I'd like to see him fight Mikey Garcia at 126, because Like Mayweather I think no one in his weight class or below can beat him, he is gonna have to take on bigger guys to make it even, his skills are too good... Gamboa Rigo sounds dope too.

    Definitely a fan, I never knew he could perform like that till I saw this fight. Really beautiful stuff.

    I was a fan ever since I first saw him destroying Casey, his performance against Donaire just confirmed his immense skill against the highest level and answered a few questions about his supposedly 'glass' chin.

    So, could this mark the return of Cuba's dominance in boxing?

    It could definitely open the doors and encourage others to join in which is always great.

    This shooling of a P4P star by a 12 fight pro, will probably make its way down to cuban boxing schools for encouragement and to see their hero on the big stage, and young men will fantasize about being in the same position so IMO it could very well be, so these young men will want to find a way into USA.

    I've always been a fan of Rigondeaux. He is one of my favorite fighters.
