Comments Thread For: Marroquin Plans To Shock Rigondeaux on Chavez-Martinez

[PacKOtyson]

it sucks too because Canelo vs Lopez is such a joke.

no disrespect to Rigondeaux but the way he fights just isn't appealing to mexicans. Arum should know better

Don't generalize, I'm Mexican and I like Rigo's counter attacking style. I would rather watch Rigo than Rios. I rather watch a street fight than watch Rios. Anyways. Props to Mares for at least saying he wants to fight Rigo, eventhough Rigo has already beaten Mares in Los Panamericanos.

This kid is in BIG TROUBLE if he thinks he is going to beat Rigo with "the basics." A jab and one-two combo with get you nowhere with the likes of Rigo. I sure hope they have a legitimate game plan or it will be a short night!!

you're an exception, let's just say most mexicans are excited by Rigondeaux style, mexican usually favor action fighters.

I'd bet almost anything more people would pay to see Rios and Alvarado beat the 5hit out of each other than see Rigondeaux. hardcore boxing fans of any ethnic group will appreciate Rigondeaux but it's Gatti v Ward, Morales v Barrera that excite people. mexicans love warriors go at it, Rigo just isn't that kind of fighter.

Arum has a bunch of prospects at 118-126. I wonder if he's gonna line all of them up and have them fight Rigo, that would be so unfair lol. Marroquin got the size, but he doesn't have the experience and he will surely get beat.

Unless Rigo finishes him off quickly, Rigo is going to be booed. Guaranteed. I even remember Donaire getting booed in a couple Chavez Jr undercards. And he was being fairly active despite his counter punching style. I can just imagine how Rigo will be received. Obviously all Mexicans aren't the same, but the type of people who love watching Chavez Jr. certainly won't like Rigo's style.

Macklin vs Alcine is another odd pick. An Irishman vs a Canadian. But at least Macklin has that high volume brawler style that Mexicans can appreciate.

Unfortunately, you're right. Many Mexican fans enjoy to watch street fights with gloves, regardless of boxing skill.

hey richardt rigondeaux said he wants to fight anybody

Then he should be calling those guys out day and night like he does Donaire, which obviously he does not.

He is doing it but all his words are falling on deaf ears...

[Alpha & Omega]

I don't see him beating Rigo at all. Rigo's style is not that exciting to watch for many but he is extremely talented and can almost do what he wants, when he wants. He just chooses to fight with that stalking, calm style. He has great speed and power too. Him and Donaire would be a great matchup. So would Moreno and Mares.

[Angry Cuban]

Donaire's last guy was much better. It's one thing to call out one elite fighter and another thing to be willing to call out and fight other elite fighters. Rigo hasn't called out Mares or anyone other than his Sun God Donaire.

U Just dont know s ¥**t but most ppl here know abouth boxing and have to read your nonsenSe...first mares is from golden boy promotions everybody know that they and too rank don't work together..i read here many times of rigo team calling out nishoka, donaire they just don't want a piece of rigo..and we can't kidnap then and put them in the ring with rigo...that would be fun but ilegal..lol
