    Moreno isn't knocking Rigo out, but I agree I could see Rigo knocking Moreno out with one of those uppercuts. People act as if Moreno will just box circles around Rigo, not sure why. If it's a waiting game, and Moreno is forced to take the lead, Rigo can counter every bit as well as Moreno.

      Morenos is over rated as fck on here. I would love to see rigo land one of those sick uppercuts to the thin body on moreno

        Moreno is a boxer who doesn't mind taking the initiative and pressing the action so I could see Rigo bruising up that body of his and making him fold into fetal position. Rigo got a nice jab too to set his ass up.

        But this could really go either way IMO.

          Stylistically not the most exciting fight but its the most intriguing matchup (for me) at 122. 50/50 fight. I've got Moreno edging it out.

            Are you blind?

              He's a great fighter, will probably go down as an ATG if he keeps up what he's doing. But, the way people talk about him, you'd think he's Pernell Whitaker in his prime or something, and he's not. He has a solid resume so far for being 26 though, with Sydorenko, Cermeno, Parra, and Darchinyan though. And it can only get better. I feel Nonito is the really overrated one, he just gets too many passes and for being 29 in his 4th weight class, his resume isn't all that you'd think it is.

              I stil say Rigo can beat anyone at 122 given the chance. I just doubt he'll get a shot to prove that until Donaire is out of the division.

                That fact is rigor is considered by many to be one of the best Amateur fighters in history. 2 Olympic gold medals. I got rigor by KO from body punch!

                  Rigondeaux will KO this guy or win a clear cut dec. once Moreno feels the power he will not get close to GR again, Rigondeaux is very fast and has laser bean accuracy with one punch KO to the body or head, and is twice the boxer Moreno is...

                    Rigondeaux isn't twice the boxer of a faded Cordoba let alone of a prime Moreno.

                      Dont see that happening. And mares despite being way younger has a better resume than all of them exept donaire but hes not far behind. Moreno is good but not that good he just like cab exept he actually has boxing skills. His reach is what gives most of these guys problems.
