He destroyed a tough, unbeaten but inexperienced guy in Willie Casey But Willie Casey was no Bernard Dunne(Or as Jim Lampley called him, "Graham Dunne"), remember his absolute war with Cordoba? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0zC24L_xTM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFFZWYrs8ZI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFyGDkmOh7o Fight of the decade How come though, Cordoba was hitting Dunne yet he looked so sloppy? Is Dunne a bum? Until you see him hitting Rigondeaux then you realise it isn't sloppyness, it's pure awkwardness http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eCEN-BFVfM
Cordoba when on his game is a legit opponent. Rigondeaux is also a small 122 pounder. While listed at 5'5, he looked like he was two inches shorter than Agbeko was. Cordoba is was at least 5'7, is awkward, and has decent skills. Offensively, he isn't as primitive as many other of the plodders at the smaller weights. Rigondeaux also took it easy in the latter portion of the fight. Maybe he wasn't in the best of shape. Against Marroquine, another big 122 pounder, he looked like he was a bit lethargic as well.
