Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux: Nobody is Talking About My Power, I Feel Like I Am Being Underestimated

[Bronx2245]

Casimero will walk into straights all night. Rigo uses the ring to line you up. Unless Casimero lands a bomb I see him completely frustrated, lunging in with hooks after round 1.
My wish is that Donaire takes on the winner then the winner fights the final boss “The Monster”.
I haven’t heard many say this but the chess match between Rigo v Inoue would be epic. Ring IQ on god level it’s a purest fight but damn it would be great. I’m also a heavy football fan (go Chelsea FC) so I love build up and layered action.

My wish is that Donaire fights "Monster" immediately, and the winners face each other! I also wouldn't mind seeing Rigo (if he wins) go back to 122, and fight the winner of Fulton vs. Figueroa!

You must have forgotten what Donaire's face looked like after twelve rounds.

Or the 7' tall Japanese fighter.

This guy talking about his power lol. Master boxer yes…Power? My sister hits harder than this guy.

Nah Rigo got power and even at the age of 40 something, his straight left and his hooks to the body are lethal. I don’t understand why boxing public said he doesn’t have power when he beat the **** out of Donaire and his opponents weren’t too keen to rushing him. Now he’s old and can’t move that much and his chin is vulnerable so he’s in more exciting fights.

WAR VIEJO RIGO!!

Rigo is boring like other Cuban boxers.

Yeah just like our American fighters. Throw 15 punches a round and land 3-4 punches and it’s “masterful” boxing haha.

a foreigner fights like this and their boring.

Rigo got power and he’s hurt, knockout and buzz all of his opponents. He made the pound for pound weight bully Donaire look silly

Let's see how Casimero reacts after he gets touched by that left cross in the first round.

Rigo hasn't been in many wars. If his reflexes are still on point, he's going out-class Casimero. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Rigo stops him.

He broke Jazza ****ens' face. He's the bigger guy and the more accurate puncher. Casimeiro is the one who should play it safe

Rigo can crack. Despite his defensive style, there’s a reason why guys don’t just try and rush him offensively. If he’s even 60% of what he was, he beats this guy.

I'm with you. Rigo can hit very hard and that power is usually magnified because he catches his opponent with a quick counter that they typically don't see.

He may not throw alot but he can still discourage his opponent with his defensive skills and powerful counters. If Rigo has something left he's all wrong for Casimero and the Filipino's wild aggressive style. However if Rigo is completely shot, Casimero will run him over. I think it's really that simple.

Casimero is not one these bums that were brought in to rejuvenate Rigo’s career. Casimero will dominate Rigo, then dispatch Donaire, then have a fight of the year brawl with Inoue.

Agreed on both levels. I heard an interview with Donaire where he mentioned before he retires he has to see Rigo again. The look Donaire had on his face was hella deep, never seen him like that. That’s a get back fight regardless of belts Donaire wants to run back.
Fulton and Fig winner would make a nice add on but this “round robin” featuring Casimero, Donaire, Rigo, and Inoue is the cat’s pajamas for me.

I really hate covid but the only positive is the lack of dates are making some fighters really have to step up there competition. I don’t know if we would have seen some of the fights past and coming up.

Who you got Fig or Fulton??

[Jwil20]

The thing about Cuban boxers you don’t know there age so the drop off can be unexpected. I see Rigo as a gym rat so who knows if or when he will start to really diminish. Let’s not be mistaken Casimero can crack but his style (to me) just so unorthodox and awkward in the bad way. For me Casimero style will make Rigo look impressive but don’t hold me to it. This is boxing as Roger Mayweather said “Most people don’t know ish about boxing”

Sidenote: anybody seen Erislandy Lara? Just crossed my mind.
