Comments Thread For: Guillermo Rigondeaux-John Riel Casimero Set For August 14 On Showtime

Curious to see what's left for FOX aside from PPV's. Who else is left to put on there regular cards? Jamal James? Maybe an LSC comeback fight? Plant in an easy defense? A J-Rock or Hurd fight? Kownacki/Helenius 2? Can't see many good fights on the horizon for them unless it's PPV.

Hard to say. All I know is Spence-Ugas will be on Fox
but I don't think Fox is as invested in boxing as they once were.

Not to say Rigo can't win but he will be a month shy of being 41 which is ridiculous let alone for a Bantamweight & he'll have not fought in 18 months.
I'd love nothing more than him to pull it off then call it a day and retire on top.
He'd play with JRC a few years back but he is ancient.
If he wins this maybe we'll have to change the notion father time can't be beaten.

Casimero is the man. Great fight.

Good fight so does pbc only make a good match with the lightweights.

You're in support of a fight with a 40 year old?

As you were...

This is great news, but why August? Beggars can't be choosy...I guess?

[SceneBoxer]

intriguing little fight....

Would have liked to see Rigo fight more during the last 15 yrs. Really good fighter but avoided. Now at 40 he's fighting a tough Philippino. If Rigo beats this guy it will be big but it's a long shot.

Good fight, but Rigo has looked finished since he came back from the Loma fight IMO. Too much time off licking his wounds perhaps. Solis had him rocked and holding on hard, and his legs looked gone against Ceja....Don't see him returning to form unfortunately.
