Johnriel Casimero vs Guillermo Rigondeaux in the works for Spring

Casimero knocks Rigondeaux out.

 

Agree mate Casimero is a beast. Rigo is well past his best and hasn't got the minerals for a war which Casimero will bring.

 

Doubt Rigo has the legs to completely shut down someone as athletic as Casimero in his old age, and I doubt even more that his chin can take that punch. Unless Rigo goes for a knockout (which I doubt even more than the aforementioned), I don't see him winning this one.

Not a bad match up though. Glad Casimero isn't taking easy touches before Inoue knocks him out.

 

I think JR has a very good chance against this version of Rigo.

 

I'm a rigo fan and an Inoue fan. Would have liked to see Rigo vs Inoue, even though I would not know who to root for.

 

they have to fight each other because everyone else is ducking them

 

Who?

 

G'damn Casimero getting the toughest fight of his career harder than any of Inoue's opponent. Albeit Rigo is old AF but still.

 

Rigondeaux still has the handspeed and the power but no longer the reflexes or the footspeed. Still, while Casimero is a good defender he is no Lomachenko. Interesting fight. Inoue is no Lomachenko in terms of defense either. Could you imagine if Rigondeaux were to KO Casimero, Oubaali, Donaire again, and Inoue? Total career destruction for the latter fighters lol and Rigondeaux would finally get a decent paycheck.

 

I wouldn't sleep on the sly old Jackal.

I don't have any interest in Rigo-Inoue so I really like to see JC win and clearly.

But risky as a mafa if you ask me.

 

At this age I can see Casimero out hustlin Rigo.

But if somehow the old rigo shows up, Casimero gets ripped.
Great step up in class though, this is what he needs.. although really risky.

 

Apparently high risk, low reward. Though Quadro Alas already fought someone quite difficult to look good against in Amnat Ruenroeng, who himself took Zou Shiming's 0. Those two previous fight experiences could very well help him.

 

Rigo knocks this overrated bums clock out.
