Comments Thread For: Ramos: Rigondeaux is Not Faster or Stronger Than Me

[CubanGuyNYC]

Judging by their styles, I predict a snoozer. It will be a boring chess match, both fighters reluctant to throw any meaningful punches.

If it ends up being a Jones-Hopkins 1 type of chess match, that's ok. But looking at Ramos fight against the Japanese dude, he did nothing at all and was losing handily before the come from behind TKO. He stunk up the place for no good reason, wasn't even outboxing his opponent. Rigondeaux fights very well for 4 rounds, then just runs around and scores points with potshots. Still use to the amateur scoring system. With like 300 or whatever amatuer fights, and only 8 pro fights, I give his style a pass for now.

I dunno, Kev...you're right, for the most part about Ramos's last fight, but I think Rico is aggressive enough to compliment Rigo's natural counterpunching style. And the reason why you make that "4 round" statement is because of Guillermo's amateur background and the Cordoba fight. I disagree with that line of thinking; Rigo's pro career is just too young to make that assessment. The fight is in two weeks. I have a feeling that the one thing we won't be calling it is "boring."
