Two possible scenarios: CW at 124 or Fight at 126 but a 10lb rehydration clause. How do you see this fight in either case?
GRJ by KO, he hits too hard for the glass jawed Rigo and he'll land on Rigo more than most because of his speed, Loma was fast enough to negate Russell's speed advantage.
CST80 is usually rational, but has irrational hate towards certain boxers. Unfortunately, that is the case here. Rigondeaux by 12-0 or late stoppage.
I'm being rational I think Russell's speed would be enough to land on Rigo enough times cleanly to hurt and possibly KO him. If he can't then Rigo UD's him, but if Amagasa can land on and hurt him Russell can.
If only boxing worked like that... I'm not saying that I'm seeing an agenda through that post, but if you are rational like you claim to be, reconsider that point of view. Russell has the handspeed, but his reach is about 10cm shorter. So what is Russell going to do? Try to bark-jab-to-the-air his way to the inside? Rigo is the smartest and the most skilled out there. This is a mismatch.
I think GRJ has a legit chance against Rigo. Remember the Japanese kid he fought put his a$$ down twice, and that kid had neither speed or power. I like this fight..
