Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux, Rips Donaire, Top Rank Contract Almost Up

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

Good thing about this is that he can get out cleanly and won't have to go through a long layoff like Gamboa.

Yea. "Thank you for your PPV's and your money and see ya around sir."

Seriously, fk Arum. After thinking about it, even if Arum offered the fight with Donaire for another contract I'd dip out. There's always Mares and Moreno.

GBP isn't gonna give Rigo any better opportunities than TopRank.

As mentioned before, he's been on a couple Pacquiao undercards already and is on his way to fighting on another PPV slot. I don't really have complaints on the way TopRank has been handling him, I just want his competition to step up significantly in these next 2 fights. There's no reason guys like Teon Kennedy should be getting a crack at a major world title.

Rigo knows what he's doing. At this point, the exposure he's getting as "the guy Donaire is ducking" is just as valuable as anything else. It's a great build up if anything.

Chins don't matter when Rigo is hammering that body.

poon is not much of a step up from ramos...........but i would like to see that match up...........

I feel he's a lot tougher. I figure it to be an action fight.

And poon would be best available and a legit guy.

I don't dislike Rigo at all. I think he has some really nice skills.

Where should he go??? Wherever he ends up I'm pretty sure he wont be getting the slots he is now......

You are right, I admitted it earlier but I hate Arum so damn much...

GB wont let Mares and Moreno fight...... U think Rigo signs on and gets to fight either one??? I doubt it

Didn't his team fear that Top Rank was going to try and rob him on the cards to protect Donaire.

If you have that kind of distrust with your promoter, whether its true or not, you need to get out.

Damnit... stop reminding me. I hate to side with Top Rank and admit they're doing a good job.

Maybe if Arum offered him (Poon) a PPV slot he would come to the US? Then again people would be like "who the hell is this?" But then again, people are probably saying the same about Kennedy and Marroquin...

They'd let him go with Moreno if anything but sadly you are probably right.

Totally true but really, the lower divisions don't get that much respect.

Mathebula fought Caballero beautifully and everyone is screaming they don't know him.

Even so called non-casual fans here.

Rigondeaux is the best 122 in the world. He has beaten gamboa twice , abner mares once. He has fougght a lot of champions around the world. In the cordova fight , he was off balance when he touched the canvas with his glove, he punched cordova to the liver and was a knd... Cordova was 5.9 and rigo is 5.4 , rigo didnt tko him , but won easily...go to youte and watch. Rigo fought that fight with the syle of the amateur , now he is fighting more pro.he simply didnt allow cordova to hit him , rigo won . Donaire is avoiding him , evry one knows this , nobody hits harder than rigo in the 122 , nobody. Nobody boxes more than rigo at 122. Rigo is maywether with the power of tyson. Or whitaker with the power of joe louis at 122.run donaire , run.
