Naoya Inoue vs. (PRIME) Guillermo Rigondeaux

I disagree. There's 10 years of absolute dominance to look at.

24-0-0 (21 KO)

19-0 with 16 KOs in World Title fights

138 rounds boxed; 6 lost

KOs via body and head, right hand and left hand.

 

I have to see Inoue at 122 for me to make an honest assessment. Rigo from 2009-2012 was something special.

 

I just found an article on Casimero, interestingly enough. I suppose I should have expected to see you immediately after.

 

Never liked rigo but the man had mad skills

 

``I won against Akaho, but I haven't reached Inoue's level yet.''-Casimero

 

The guy left his 7yo son and wife to pursue professional boxing. Says something both about his character and his devotion to the science.

 

I never knew that thats dedication and a dick move

 

Rigo talked a lot of **** & he was the one who wanted it,

Then Loma gave him what he wanted.

 

Nonito & Rigo should have rematched if not straight away at least down the line.

 

Cuba is a pretty tough place to live and raise a family. If fighting is the only thing you were taught to do, yet cannot make a living at it, leaving your family to make enough money to sent them seems like the only logical way to provide.

 

True but the same can be said about majority of Boxers, they have to play hide & seek all night with their opponent hoping to catch them with big combinations or that one hard shot,

It's what happens when one guy doesn't like to engage,

The real defensive fighters can fight any which way at any moment without clinching, running & wrestling for dear life while having the right referee who will do nothing,

What a great display of art.

 

No I get that as a mex myself leaving family behind is hard to do

 

Your right in so many ways, Man Rigo's claim to fame really is just that one Donaire fight,

Outstanding.

 

I think we needed to see more from Rigo not Inoue, especially now with people still wandering, wasn't so impressive was he?.

 

I thought about this the other day as well. The Tito from the Donaire fight was something else. He would be a dangerous fight for Inoue one he would have a good chance at winning as well.
