Carl isnt ready for Rigo yet but I do see him beating the other champions in the division. Especially Quigg, Dying for that fight. Quigg is another John Murray for me, he'll be stopped when he steps up in competition - hopefully that'll be Frampton in the near future!
Remember Cordoba? The trouble he gave the "invincible"Rigo? Dunne kod Cordoba. Kiko Kod Dunne. Frampton kod Kiko. I know it PROVES nothing....but....
Kiko was causing frampton trouble until the ko it was fairly even. If rigo took donaires shots he will take framptons plus frampton misses a lot so he won't catch rigo clean
If rigo took donnaires shots...if .....but he didn't, did he? Donnaire was so poor so slow and totally one handed against Rigo that he never landed properly. Frampton much fitter better prepared and two handed accurate puncher......
You don't think Nonito looked poor and unfit against rigo? I thought it was Nonito at his worst, badly prepared, too overconfident...
Donaire was fit. Rigo just made him look average. The longer the fight went, the more frustrated and average Donaire became. A big punch can only take you so far until you run into a real boxer.
Rigo would be the odds on favorite to win. I'd say something like 70-30. Rigo's chin is definitely suspect, but he has elite defense so you're not going to land too many flush shots on the guy. Out of all the pro cuban fighters today, he is the strongest reflection of their amateur system and really shows a very high level of technical ability inside the ring.
Guillermo Rigondeaux UD Anyone thinking different is crazy, Frampton isnt a pressure fighter he likes to box, your not going to outbox Rigo
alright - but at the back of my mind I cant help thinking "what if Cordoba had a punch.....and Carl sure does have a punch....?"
And what if Rigo's "weak chin" was more than just a myth? And do you believe that if Cordoba fought Rigo again and "had a punch" he would have beaten Rigo?
atsch If it was that simple, is it at back of your mind that Donaire has big power and he got schooled, but keep believing in Rigos glass chin myth.
