    That is one hell of a coup. The Cubans he already has in his stable must have sealed the deal, they must have spoken to Rigondeaux. I can't imagine he'd sign for Hyde otherwise, I would have fought Arena Box would be the most obvious choice with Gamboa, Solis and Lara!

    His amateur record is 243-4!

    didnt he claim he had already agreed a contract with him awhile ago after his first botched attempt at fleeing cuba?, but Rigondeaux then tried to sign with someone else(arena?) once he finally did get away at the second attempt. sure hyde kicked up a fuss about it, might be confusing this with another case though.

    That's great news. Much easier for us to see some of these great Cuban talents coming through.

    Glenn Mccrory must be creaming his pants at the thought of working with him!!! yeah I heard he'd already signed with hyde before he announced that he would be signing with oner. I reckon he'd be better off in america but its wicked to see him fighting over here. None of our channels show their fights though :( are they on the irish channel RTE or whatever its called?

    You should all listen to Paddy on this subject if he comes in this thread at all.

    The answer is apparently he hasn't.

    i dont think so.gary hyde has said he could be in germany or america and hes only managing not promoting.rigondeaux definitely signed with arena box before but he was sent back to cuba.i wouldnt be surprised if he ended up back with arena box somehow
