How can Rigondeaux beat Frampton when he has no chin?

Frampton is in no hurry to make that fight.
Even less likely now that Frampton is with PBC

 

Same reason why Morrison beat Foreman, yet having no cheen.

 

Rigo 12-0

 

I'm sure the Japanese guy outweighed him by like 15lbs though

 

On a pro-rata basis, percentage of body-size wise, it was one of the biggest size mismatches ive seen. Height, weight --- every way possible!

 

Rigo 12-0.

 

I love Frampton, but he has a puncher's chance against Rigo, a very slim puncher's chance at that. Rigo goes down easily but he never is hurt, kind of like Marquez.

 

You have to be able to land to take advantage of a chin

 

Frampton 20-0

 

rigo hits hard himself, very sharp.

 

Rigo has never been knocked out. Hard to call a guy chinny when he's never been knocked out.

 

I think the point people are trying to make is that given his elite skills, supreme elusiveness, how rarely he is hit cleanly etc.....that given all those factors, he does appear to react a bit on those rare occasions he DOES get hit clean.

.....then of course there is the case of Roy Jones ....

(I am a big fan of Rigos superb skills, by the way.)

 

I think movers like Rigo go down easier because they are off balance moving. Look at all the times Martinez went down when he wasn't even hurt. You set your legs right, and you don't go down like that. Look at the guys who are known for their chins, for never being off their feet: LaMotta, Chuvalo, Cobb, Wach. They're practically immobile.
