    Rigos next fight will now be July 16th on the undercard of Cotto-Maragarito instead of the July 9th showtime date

    They should definitely get Shimoda. It would be a fight and clash for the full WBA title, so as much as the Cordoba fight hurt Rigo's reputation this one could restore it.

    But isnt this card PPV? If so I doubt if Arum is going to bring over an unknown Japanese guy. Its a good fight for boxing fans but that wont bother Arum. Hes likely to want a Latino fighter to help the PPV. How long is Montiel meant to be out for?

    How is his Chin? Cordoba had him down right?

    He should stay home, he is not a spring chicken any longer especially for a batamweight, he got clipped real hard last time out, I remember Simon Brown he used to have a sturdy chin and he got ko by Vincent almost a carbon copy of Montiel (a least the way he reacted when on the floor) he was never the same again, it was a damaging blow.

    Right, you made it sound like he had a career ending injury.
