    Guillermo Rigondeaux vs. Celestino Caballero

    If Rig destroys the last guy to beat Cab, this becomes very interesting.

    Who you got?

    Has anyone seen Cordoba vs Caballero?

    How did the fight go down?

    I think Rigo beats Caballero.

    Caballero is overrated, his punches are wide, and he's sloppy.

      Its really hard to tell yet.

      Cab may be to seasoned for him at this point.

      I know Rig is the greatest amuetur fighter ever.

      But I doubt he ever had to got 12 with a guy like Cab.

      Would be very interesting.

        Rigo Ices Him, and he Stops Gambo and Lopez, just in case.

          Sounds like your overrating him.

          Who has he beaten to make you think he can beat anybody you just mentioned?

            Rigondeaux is strictly a counterpuncher, he almost never leads and doesn't want to. Good luck sitting on your back foot and trying to consistently counterpunch someone that's 4-5-6 inches taller.

            Caballero is underrated because of his awkward/sloppy punching technique, but the man has few holes in his game other than that and would tattoo Rigondeaux into submission at this point.

              Corboda convincingly beat him and dropped him in a battle of Panamanians, in Panama.

              But that was at 122. Tough to believe that he's not healthier at 126/130.

                How did Cordoba beat Cab?

                Was Cab off his A game?

                I haven't seen the fight.

                But the scores are one-sided and Cab got knocked down in the 10th.

                I wish somebody could find this fight.

                  I haven't caught it either, but it was 6 years ago. Pacquiao was a one handed fighter 6 years ago. Caballero has dominated 3 top 10 lefties since then and is staying in shape year round fighting at a healthier weight.

                  He offered the rematch to Cordoba and could've proven it, but Cordoba took the Rigondeaux fight instead.

                    I don't kno why everyone is so high on rigo , I mean he just barely turned pro he's 30 years old
                    Therefore I doubt he has a great career , at most he is gonna fight another 7-8 yrs and he will probably never be great in the pros.

                    Why do cubans always turn pro late eg; gamboa is 27 rigo 30 ,is amatuers that fun over there
