    He can easily be outworked at world level.
    Gotcha.
    I see what you mean, but I see his counters being too sharp for him to lose via workrate. Also, he goes to the body hard and I could see him slowing most guys down. I have a higher opinion of him than most, though. I think he could win a world title tomorrow.

      Maybe,I don't think so.Lante Addy completely shut him counterpunching down by covering himself up all night.Sure he didn't fiught to win but he ain't world class either.

      He will be a force to be reckoned with but he is very beatable.

        1.Rigediyaoooo!!!
        2.gamboa

        I like rig. We'll see how he holds up against top comp. But I like what I see. Solid fundamentals except when he feels the opponent is overmatched tends to drop his guard. Refuses to lead though. Drawback , not fan friendly unless the body shots that he drop andrade and landeros will be seen on every fight. Wicked hook and lightning straights. If he ever gets offensive just like Jmm in the last few fights, a P4P fighter for sure.

        Gamboa, depends entirely on discipline but his last fight were the epitome of it. Hope he continues this one.

          Same here. Since all the talent has moved out of 122 for the most part (Lopez, Caballero, Marquez, Vazquez), and I know nothing about the Japanese titleholder who beat Jhonny Gonzalez, so I would really be interested to see him fight Antonio Escalante (who I think is the best established fighter left at 122).

            ya i heard the guy got hit felt Rigondeaux power 1st rd and backed off survival mode for the rest. and Rigon didnt really do anything effective from the kd on .... the crowd was booing like crazy too ... but he still clearly won. he needs pro seasoning is all at least i hope. hes still a great talent no doubt

                I wouldn't talk about it if not.

                It was onBradway Boxing,I downloaded it from the video section from this site acyually.

                Ugly to watch,Rigondeaux knocked him down in the first and Addy just covered up all fight.Rigo won 7 out of 8 rounds,he lost the second round on just 1 big punch landed by Addy.
                He has this problem with being too passive that Roach needs to fix.

                Personally I think he's one of the best JFWs along with Caballero and Nishioka altough I don't know if he'd beat either one.He'd have a better chance with Nishioka

                    ya he cant fight on the front foot ... he needs someone to lead. caballero aint all that, Rigondeaux loses to him now prob but in a couple more fights he prob be able to beat him ... i cant say for nish cause i havent seen too much of him
