New Opponent and date confirmed for Rigondeaux!!

Poor Rigo, sad to see such talent go unnoticed. His gonna have to do what Marquez did and tweek his style a tiny bit to be more fan friendly. That or keep fighting in undercards, hopefully its enough money for him to make a good living.

"Arum said that Zou will face an opponent to be determined in his first scheduled 10-round bout, in what is supposed to be his final fight before challenging for a world title in the fall." WTF??? Rigo was fast tracked too, were you mad about that? Shiming is like 32, it's now or never

Macau is 12 hours ahead of NY, so a fight card at night there takes place in the morning in the US. Even worse if its the west coast It says tape delayed tho... Isn't Boxeo Tecate at night? Maybe I'm missing something here.

Rigo is the best boxer in the world, I don't care about rating or money revenue, he is from Cuba , a country which is regarded as enemy in the american politics, so don't expect him to get the money there ! proving he is thd best in the ring is enough, he will not get high ratings unless he loses or shows weakness, any Cuban, Iranian, Russian, North Korean, .... will never gain popularity on the american soil whatever he does in the ring It is the same for Mayweather & Pacquiao case ! It is funny when you brag about your PPV numbers from your people in your home, even though you have the less skills, less achievements and less excitement in the ring All current top american boxers on the stage are actually cherry pickers, greenhorns with dull hypnotizing styles compared to the Master Rigondeaux I personally respect Ward and Hopkins, but you can't have Mayweather as your top boxer, and accuse Rigondeaux of being boring !!! Nothing but ignorance and nationalistic pride. Lmao at blaming Rigo's lack of popularity on political conflict and calling other top boxers boring in relation to Rigo.

Yaaawnnn. Another boring a$$ fight. Why isn't this guy fighting top names? And don't come with that BS nobody wants to fight him, if someone beat him they would gain instant popularity. Feel bad for the Cuban fans LOL @ this failed comment. His team has been begging Frampton, Quigg, Kiko and Santa Cruz to fight even offering to travel to their hometowns.

Where does it say anything about 9am? Macau is 12 hours ahead of NY, so a fight card at night there takes place in the morning in the US. Even worse if its the west coast

At 9am for one of the most boring fighters fighting a nobody? Where does it say anything about 9am?

rigo is back in action AND will soon have finished his contract with arum? thats great news on top of great news. cant wait to see rigo back in the ring, im marking my calender already :boxing:

Rigo can become an attraction in Macau because black people are rare. Everybody will want to take pictures with the black dude. More to the point Arum can Rigo on undercards in Macau because people in Macau dont give a sheite about undercards

Glad he's back in action. Hopefully we can get one these other 122lb pretenders in the ring with him soon

http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/11003763/guillermo-rigondeaux-next-defense-macau Why couldn't ESPN buy the rights to televise this bout? Now that they are getting back in the fight game with airing major championship bouts and all? At 9am for one of the most boring fighters fighting a nobody?

I saw that when I was looking at the schedule yesterday. Sad when one of the best boxers in the world is not headlining a card but the co-main to Zou Shiming (SIGH).

You can talk sh.t all you want about Arum bad mouthing Rigo but the man is trying. At least he got him televised to the latino market.

Interested to see what his next move is. He won't ever make as much money as he did with Arum but he can come close by staying active, travelling and staying unbeaten.

Damn, I feel bad for the guy. It's as if he is too good for his own good, or a victim of his style. That's why a certain degree of theatrics never hurt your career.

Saw this earlier. Bob doesn't want to make a rematch with Nonito so its just as well if rigo goes. Hpefully, GBP has some decent fights for him.
