        Moreno is the better boxer but Rigondeaux is more explosive. This could be a 122lb version of Jones-Hopkins 1 where the guy with the better pure technical skills gets beat by the quicker and more athletic fighter. You can have all the skills in the world, if the guy in front of you is too fast and you don't see the punches coming then you're gonna have a problem. Not to mention Moreno hasn't fought at 122 and Rigondeaux is very strong and powerful at this weight. As of right now I'm picking Rigondeaux.

          Rigo by wide UD. Moreno is good enough defensively to not get knocked out.

          Please correct me if I am wrong. I've seen all of Rigo's fights and I've always seen him take the lead except for the 2nd half of the Cordoba fight. Why do so many of you feel that he can't take the lead? He doesn't always counter.

          I must admit, i've only seen Moreno fight twice and that was against Mora and Vic. I dont give him much credit for either of those fights. Any solid boxer, not brawler, but technically sound boxer can beat Vic. I wont even talk about Mora. I think Moreno is overrated. I'll search YouTube for his of fights because I don't think he does well against a boxer with good hand speed.

            He has but stay busy fights early in his career. Moreno is actually pretty big guy. Not only does he have the size but the skill set to go with it.
