Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux vs. Poonsawat in Play For December 15th

I didn't throw his name around, he's a solid fighter but Rigo could have fought a better opponent, like Agbeko who called him out. I guess ducking only applies to fighters that Rigo calls out but not to Rigo himself.

How is Rigondeaux ducking Agbeko? Rigo found a more worthy opponent imho.

do you know why is not adbeko, and do you think a guy that is coming from 7 straight wins is worse than another coming from 2 loses and a long layoff? This Thai is a very dangerous opponent for anyone at 122, he was a WBA SBW belt holder too...

You genuinely think Agbeko is better than Poonsawat?
Career Bantamweight who has arguably lost his last 6 fights & been inactive for what would be over a year...

Yeah he's a better fighter than Kratingdaenggym. Agbeko arguably lost his last 6 fights? The **** are you smoking? He beat Darchinyan and Perez (in the rematch) clearly.

I'm just using the rigo tards logic. When a fighter calls you out you have to fight him or else you're a duck.

Yeah if those 2 losses were competitive and against elite fighters while those 7 wins were against B or C level fighters.

Similar to how you did with Nishioka then?

ouch......

Poonsawat is definitely a better fight than Agbeko.

I'd have been happy with Agbeko or Darchinyan but Poonsawat exceeds my expectations.

Poonsawat is #3 at 112 at the moment If I recall correctly. He's a top fighter and without question a very good fight for Rigondeaux.

These are the fights he needs to be taking.

I like it, I like it, i like it. Good fight for Rigondeaux. His destruction of Dunne was AWESOME.

His competition hasn't been at the championship level lately so hopefully he can still bring it. Regardless, Rigo is levels above everyone at 122.

agreed, should be a good and exciting fight...hopefully poonsawat has enough in him to pull off an upset or at least give rigo a good challenge for however long it lasts.

Like you have even seen him fight. Rigo could fight a cab driver and you would say he was "very dangerous."

Honestly I don't know much about Poonsawat myself. Going to have to look up some fights on YouTube to see if he is a better choice than Darchinyan or Agbeko.

[blak81]

this is pretty much the best TR can do for him at the moment, some low level fighter

He is no where near low level. He is just not popular right now.

Come on Light!, why should Rigo allow himself to be used as a rebound? Poonsawat has been @122 for 6 years and is WBA #3, there's no question that he deserves the fight more. Agbeko is trying to cut to the front of the line without having done anything at 122 to warrant the fight. He called Rigo out cuz he has nothing to lose and everything to gain.
