Rigondeaux ready for world title

“I can fight anybody at 122!” By David Hudson On November 13, boxing fans will get to watch the Manny Pacquiao-Antonio Margarito main event clash that generates most of the headlines. But, an intriguing fight before the main event could be the show-stopper. Undefeated Cuban boxing sensation Guillermo Rigondeaux, a two-time Olympic gold medal winner, battles #1 contender Ricardo Cordoba for the vacant WBA interim super bantamweight title. Ridondeaux’s respected trainer, Ronnie Shields, says that Rigondeaux is ready for the challenge even though this will be only his 7th professional bout. “He is not your ordinary fighter,” Shields said of his 6-0 protege. “It is a very tough fight but Guillermo will knock him out.” For his part, Rigondeaux said that his training camp has been ideal and that he is ready to add a professional title to his list of career accomplishments. “I can fight anybody at 122; I’m ready for any of them.” He looks forward to showing his talents for the fans. “It is a great opportunity for me to win a world title.”
