Darchinyan vs Rigondeaux

[NearHypnos]

A lot of that is why I'd favor Rigo but at some point his comp has to go up in name value and he's not going to get to jump straight to a Donaire without a name vet who at least COULD test him. He has some posing problems too. Vic can take that away and actually make him look fantastic. Or some of the chin questions he's shown could be exposed. he needs someone to test where he really is. I like the fight for that reason.

Yeah, it's a good fight for Rigo no doubt but it's a fight I wouldnt make if I was Vic's team. Vic, with good matchmaking could make a bit of noise still imo. He could be more than a stepping stone still. Rigo has much more to gain.

yeah i know ,..but even if mares losses to moreno ( which i expect) , vic still has good fights waiting for him that's very winnable...

hope this happens too to find out if this "would , coulda shoulda " legacy of rigo is really gonna get somewhere

im not a rigo hater but i am a rigo doubter

I've noticed you recently have tried to be down the middle with Rigo but I would say your gauge leans more on the hating side. I've seen your posts you're not fooling anyone. Sorry.

If he loses to vic he might as well retire. Itll be a mayor upset! Dont know if you noticed yet but the raging bull doesnt have enough power at this weight class to make a difference and i certainly dont see him outboxing a defensive genius to win on the cards.

i think it would be an upset based on the hype rigo is getting but not really much to me since rigo is not what i call a " preoven fighter"..


anyways , these are the fight rigo needs to be chasing after... not prospects

One of Vic's guys tweeted they'd take it in a heartbeat. Might have to make more noise on this.

Get on it . Rigo has the choice of Agbeko and Darchinyan.

I wouldn't go that far and say Rigo should retire. Any loss to a step up fight for Rigo would derail him drastically though. I doubt Vic is that guy however.

He doesn't hate Rigondeaux, what he hate is the fact that Donaire doesn't want to face GR so he try to downgrade Rigondeaux every time he has a chance, you know, he is doing the same thing ND is doing, but I think Nonitos is making a mistake by not fighting Rigondeaux now, the more fights Rigondeaux has the better he will get, last time out he fought against a young, hungry power puncher and he learn from that, even thought he won virtually every round and scored two clean KD, now I'll prefer Agbeko over Darchinyan because he is the better fighter it will prepare him better for a possible fight against ND, but maybe Arum wants VD so he could gauge GR.

wouldn't mind seing darchinyan vs rigo...it would be interesting to see how rigo deals with darchinyan's awkward style. not sure if darchinyan would have the power at 122 to rattle rigo...but u never know, rigo's chin is still questionable imo.
