Rigondeaux's weight.

He also just stepped aside without a guarantee to face the winner of Donaire/Casimero, trust me he's made some suspect decisions. Why didn't he take Lomachenko at 126 or 124 but then decided to fight him at 130? Did guys like LSC/Mares/Frampton/etc avoid him? Yes, but he also turned down a chance to be in the WBSS. And what does he do a few years after turning down the WBSS? He goes down to 118. He thought he was fighting st+. Then the mexican bought out his contract and left dlh. And nevet look back at Rigondeaux. Time passes by and people needs to make money.

He fights for a living. If the guys around his weight class, are shamelessly avoiding him. He needs to fight whoever is available. He went to Japan to fight a 7 feet tall guy for God's sake. Stay safe. He also just stepped aside without a guarantee to face the winner of Donaire/Casimero, trust me he's made some suspect decisions.

Dude was a small 122 pounder so this isn't surprising to me. How or why he moved up to 130 when he had never even fought at 126 is a head scratcher but a lot of his career moves have been a head scratcher. He better be MUCH better than he was last time out or else Casimero is going to hurt him and stop him. He fights for a living. If the guys around his weight class, are shamelessly avoiding him.

Yeah he was badly, badly ducked at 122. That Donaire performance terrified the division, and the fact that Rigo doesn’t draw gave everybody the excuse to avoid him. Frampton, Quigg, LSC, Mares all ducked him. I’m fans of most of those guys but none of them wanted any part of Rigo. The only guy I know that actually wanted to fight him was Jamie McDonnell, I remember him telling me personally, he wanted the Rigo fight but Hearn didn’t think it was worth bringing him over. Then Frank swooped in and Jazza Dickens ended up fighting Rigo instead. Definitely, he got to fight the best of them all in Donaire, but he definitely could and should have gotten more names on his resume'. It didn't help his own promoter used to dog him out for his boring performances lol.

Lomachenko is now fighting at 135 while Rigo is down at 118, that's all you need to know. I have no idea why he did this when at one point I believe Lomachenko's team was fine to going down to 124 for a fight with him when he was at 126. Rigo is a SMALL man, like REALLY small. Did he get ducked at 122? Absolutely, but he and his team haven't made the best of decisions either. Too bad, his career isn't going to be remembered 15 years from now and he was someone who clearly had HOF talent. Yeah he was badly, badly ducked at 122.

As much as I loved the idea of Loma-Rigo from a technical perspective, it always felt like Rigo was just trying to cash in. I put a big stake on Loma to stop Rigo, he was always going to be simply too small to compete against a fellow elite fighter. of course he cashed in. he didnt even finish the fight. he wasnt hurt and just up and quit. he was there for a paycheck only but could have atleast held up his end of the bargain. what about his fans who paid money for that fight with the expectation that he would atleast TRY to win or atleast TRY to finish the fight. Mikey Garcia had a better showing against spence, atleast he finished the fuking fight even if he only came to survive.

In three weeks from today, Guillermo Rigondeaux is challenging casimero for the WBO belt. He weighted 120lbs yesterday. Rigo’s always fought around his natural weight. He was probably fighting above his natural weight at 122 tbh. He’s just that good technically that he doesn’t necessarily need to boil down to gain an advantage. His style doesn’t reply upon strength and physicality, it’s timing, angles, precision etc. Whether that’s enough to beat Casimero at 40 years old remains to be seen though…
