I hope Casey gets the upset .Look's worth a we bet not bad odds http://sports.williamhill.com/bet/en-gb/betting/e/1722439/.html
To be fair Rigondeaux ain't going to allow Willie land but don't tell me if he tried to go toe to toe with willie he wouldn't end up on his assss. Willie hits hard maybe just short of 1 punch ko but he still has big digs on him. I find it hard to imagine Phil Sutcliffe is telling Willie to chase Rigondeaux around the ring. Surely any trainer, ANY trainer would at least try to get willie to hold off and be patient.
Be patient and wait for what though? Wait for Rigo to outbox him for 12 rounds? Caseys only chance is to apply pressure from the off. If he holds back Rigo will just pick him off. Unfortunately if he piles in it probably won't end well either. I hope I'm wrong but it doesn't seem likely.
:nono Cordoba put him down with a jab. Casey's problem is landing. He can hurt Rigondeaux, but you can't hurt what you can't hit.
So much for the Brit forum consensus of Irish fans blindly backing their fighters then! Said it before, this is a crazy fight imo. He will be KO'd with a counter body shot the first time he tries to get off some shots. For an 11 fight novice, I just dont see the point in this. Cant be great money, why not defend the euro couple times and then step up. He should have fought Martinez, who will be well more known to the irish public than rigo. Mid way through the 3rd for me
I reckon it goes at least 5 rounds. Rigo is no monster puncher. Reckon there will be multople knockdowns before it gets stopped.
^This^ I really think his management have ****ed up with this fight.Putting him in with Martinez(who he can beat) or Munroe(who imo would beat him) would make decent money and he would still have a career whatever the outcome.Rigo is going to totally embarrass and outclass him and could leave his confidence(and imo he is a confidence fighter) in tatters when he realises the gulf between himself and true world class.
