Rigondeaux withdraws from bout!!!!

[robboxing]

Get him with a Mayweather or someone like Naazim Richardson this early in his career and he'll be real dangerous

[SkillspayBills]

Let Uncle Rog train him. That will be a good look. If he feels he nis being neglected so be it, make your switch and hopefully it turns out better for you.

damn. i thought rigondeaux was different from most of the other cubans that defected.
sucks to hear that about the laziness and the lack of roadwork.
word is that roach wanted guillermo to pull out of the fight earlier becuz he wasnt happy with his conditioning.
supposedly, one of the reasons why he wanted to train out in LA was to get away from miami and all the distractions that could lead to. now he wants to train out of miami again??

dan birmingham isnt based out of miami, but he's in florida. he doesnt have too many fighters. i think he'd be a solid fit since he's a balanced trainer who communicates well.

i still think joe goossen is the BEST fit.

I'm not sure if that poster is correct about him being lazy. From what roach said is that when he sparred he would only go at 50-60%. I took it as he was so good he would go easy on his sparring partners.

I don't think that equals laziness, unless there is more to it that I'm missing.

apparently he was in such bad condition, that freddie wanted to pull him out of the fight earlier.
i guess rigondeaux wants someone to hold his hand while doing roadwork.
thats not how it works.

This is the first time I've heard any mention of Rigondeaux's "laziness." It seems that some people are inferring that from the quote in the article: "Nobody was picking him up in the morning to run..." I get more of a sense that Guillermo felt he deserved more attention than he was getting. He knows he's the goods and expects to be treated as such. I'm not saying this is so, but, if anything, "El Chacal" could be viewed as a prima donna. lol

dont blame the guy...Roach DOES have alot of fighters

Hmm, I wouldn't go that far. If he feels he's not getting enough attention from his trainer, who is already spread thin, I think he has a legitimate reason to want to leave.

how do you explain him being out of shape then?
also, from a poster who already posted "inside information" about the situation:

actually Steve Kim called Freddie while at my house after I told him about the rumors that Rigondeaux had left Freddie

he said that Rigondeaux was so out of shape that he basically told them he shouldn't fight his next fight. The last time he saw him was about a week and a half ago and that he thinks they have split but Rigondeaux has said he is moving on

so thats the real story

told you guys

and bad back my ass dude was real heavy last time Freddie saw him. He did the jump rope for about 30 min then left and never came back

rumors are rumors, but there's gotta be a reason why he was out of shape so close to a fight.

[Biolink]

I understand why he left.

He's a grown man so he shouldn't need someone to push him, but at the same time, you can't blow him off like he's a normal prospect, but he's simply not the draw that Pacquiao, and Khan are now, so he's not going to be making Freddie the money those two are

I noticed that line too, but what I took that as meaning maybe he doesn't have a car or license yet and can't get out to where he needs to run at? I don't know I'm just thinking that he doesn't have any means of transportation.
