    Rigondeaux on fast track

    By David L. Hudson Jr.



    Question: What do the fighters Saensak Muangsurin, Leon Spinks, Jeff Fenech, Davey Moore, Sot Chitalada and Muangchai Kittikasem have in common?

    Answer: All of these fighters won a world boxing championship in just a few professional bouts. For example, Muansurin won the WBC junior welterweight crown in his third bout. Spinks shocked the work by defeating the great Muhammad Ali to win the heavyweight title in his eighth pro bout. Fenech won a bantamweight title in his 7th bout. Moore won a junior middleweight title in his ninth bout. Chitalda and Kittikasem won junior flyweight titles in their fifth and seventh pro bouts respectively.

    On November 13, 2010, Cuban amateur boxing sensation Guillermo Rigondeaux looks to add his name to the history books when he battles Ricardo Cordoba for the vacant WBA interim super bantamweight title in only his seventh pro bout. The intriguing Rigondeaux-Cordoba matchup takes place on the undercard of the highly anticipated Manny Pacquiao-Antonio Margarito showdown in Dallas, Texas.

    Ridondeaux’ s respected trainer, Ronnie Shields, says that Rigondeaux is ready for the challenge even though this will be only his 7th professional bout. ” He is not your ordinary fighter,” Shields said. ” It is a very tough fight but Guillermo will knock him out.”

    For his part, Rigondeaux said that his training camp has been ideal and that he is ready to add a professional title to his list of career accomplishments. ” I can fight anybody at 122; I’ m ready for any of them.” He looks forward to showing his talents for the fans. ” It is a great opportunity for me to win a world title.”

    While he technically has had very few professional fights, Rigondeaux points out his boxing pedigree in Cuba. ” I believe that I have been a professional for a long time,” he said. ” I come from a system that there are a lot of expectations of you and I had to work hard to be disciplined and that’ s what they expected of me- to act like a professional.”

    Legendary Top Rank promoter Bob Arum summed it up best: ” Any other fighter who has Olympic experience we wouldn’ t be putting him in his seventh professional fight, but this man is special.”

    Tune in to the pay-per-view extravaganza on November 13th not only to watch the Pacquiao- Margarito battle, but also to see whether this special Cuban fighter can win a world title in his seventh pro fight.

    This kid will be on people's p4p lists in one years time.bank on it.

              anyways rigo is a beast getting a shot with only 7 pro fights thats wassup , people say he is moving slow when they fail to recognize that rigo hasnt even been a pro for a year and a half and had to deal with major legal setbacks

                Yeah, I agree with rushing him quickly. He hasn't got time to waste beating journyman & no names at 30. Espcailly due to him fighting at a lower weight class.

                He really was as good as amatuer as there can be do. His talent & skills are unquestionable.

                But Ricardo Cordoba is big test for him. If he wins, I would like to see him fight for a ''Full World Title'', maybe Wilfredo Vasquez Jr?
