Went and bought a ticket the moment I heard he was added, too much of a good opportunity too turn down
I will defo be watching is there any chance ****** and Rigondeaux will team up for the winner of Quigg vs Frampton ???
Its Quigg who has shamelessly stolen the belt from literally around Rigo's waist. The shameless Scott has been claiming squatters rights on Rigos belt. Frampton ( a real world champion) has called Quigg on this little charade.
Frampton could have won said belt when Rigo said he'd come to Belfast to fight him; but little old Carl **** himself and ignored the offer. He has no right to talk legitimacy of belts given his shameful ducking of Rigo.
Frampton will prob choose too stick with the more credible and reputable IBF title and throw the WBA bauble Quigg has back in the mix. Rigo will pick it up. Maybe Carl & Rigo will meet in a unification bout - but not very soon.
Frampton was wise enough to realise he wasnt ready for Rigo back then. Unlike Quigg Carl never had delusions about his own ability.
Wow!! Thought this was a joke, fair play to Jazza for this - that's a major step up, don't think I can recall a step up as big in recent times, literally skipped the euro , fringe level and gone for it... He's only defended the Lonsdale once hasn't he (that it took 2 attempts to win in the first place) Basically if he puts in a respectable performance (by that I mean not get blown away in 3rds) the man establishes himself as a contender for Quigg /Frampton belts - as anyone who can give a good show against Rigo is more worthwhile than the fodder they've been fed in the past! Wow fair play kid..! This fight is literally win win providing he doesn't get smashed up early!
Well that's a complete lie. Rigo made the offer directly after the second Kiko fight when Carl stood in the ring with that other little leprechaun Barry and proclaimed himself the best in the world. Then, rather than face Rigo they fought and struggled against a Mexican road sweeper.
Shocking fight, biggest mismatch of the year. Its great having Rigo over here as he is a phenomenal fighter so full credit to Frank for that but you would have thought he would have tried to have made at least a slightly competitive fight for him? People can also keep calling Frampton and Quigg duckers for not fighting him but Rigo is hardly convincing anyone when he takes on Jazza ****ens? Surely we need to start questioning Rigo too?
Dont blame Rigo - he has no choice - no top level guy will fight him (though Frampton is willing to now)
