Who does Rigondeaux remind you of in the ring?

When I see the patience, speed, reflexes, foot speed, defense, the smarts, accuracy and power.

I have to say he looks like a Southpaw version of a younger Floyd.

Eh. From what I say in just approx 20sec on fight time and highlights, he looks more like KT in the amateurs than Floyd. And he looks highly offensive rather than defensive. What fight of Floyd do you see in him?

20 seconds? You have to watch some more my man. Hes a little more flat footed then Floyd but everything else is there.

Pacquiao. even in his younger days, Floyd wasn't really that exciting.

Pacquiao is a patient, defensive minded counter puncher with insane reflexes?

hey burner, why didnt you do the show tonight and left us all hanging? lol i know its you by your posting style and talkin about rigo lol.

trust me, you're infatuated with him now... but in a year or two after he becomes a household name you are going to claim he cherry picks his opponents, weight drains them, and is on steroids. all because he took the shine away from floyd and works with freddie roach. i've see this before.

You can't really compare him to anyone right now. No one's ever came at him.

He looks exactly the same way that Gamboa did easily knocking out opponents early. Except Gamboa went left hook to the body then right hand to the head and Rigondeaux goes right hook to the head and a straight left to the body.

Man but both todays opponent and that Guillen guy looked in tremendous amounts of pain following the left to the body.
