Official ESPN 2 Wednesday Night Special Thread

people keep saying that, and I know his amateur credentials are almost unrivaled, but as a pro I really dont see that much special about Rigondeux. he is very one note: he loves to counter punch, and thats mostly it.

Addy was a 1 week replacement and Rigondeux didnt look good against him, even though he won pretty much every round.

I just think Rigondeux is too old already too. If he doesnt get his ass on the move, say bye bye to his speed advantages, and without that I dont think he will be able to beat the top fighters.

Exactly, my thoughts also

Damn, they said 9 out of 11 of Paines' opponents have had 0 wins, lol.....what a joke.

Despaigne up 1-0

Find me a boxer that hasnt faced a boxer with a losing record in his resume...

I agree on the old part, but he's ready for a championship fight right now tbh.

The guy waste 0 energy, never throws a wasted punch, and can basically stand right in front of his opponent and not get hit and be out of the way anytime he wants.

As far as his hand speed, he's been laser accurate every time I've seen him. He's the kind of fighter that will only good when he has real competition.

Anybody wanna do an over/under bet with me on the Lara-Lee fight for ****s and giggles?


I say Lee lasts longer than he did against Martiroysan....

[cubano11]

He never fights though. He is very talented but seems kind or arrogant because he is older. In reality, he should be fighting several times per year like every 3 months..due to his age.

hes 29...he signs recently with TR....lets hope they can find him good fights

my 700K to your 100K Lara beats Lee

I know but the guy has had 11 total fights. 9 out of the 11 opponents he has faced have NEVER even won a single fight. Only his last 2 opponents even had a single win and their records were very heavy on the losing side.
