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

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

So it's a different standard for Rigondeaux because he's only had 11 fights?

But, only when it suits you.

Fact is, you discredit Nishioka for Donaire (Whilst claiming he was ducking him before the fight) then praise Rigondeaux for fighting Poonsawat.

A clear double standard and a clear and obvious bias.

Show me somewhere me praising Rigo for fighting Poon. I dont even think Ive said this is a good fight, I said this is a better fight than Agbeko. But Ill say it NOW, this IS a good fight.

the first one yes, the second one mares took him to school, you saying he is ducking King Kong because he is fighting a true SBW that is been kicking a$$ for years and loss his belt in some how controversial dec in Japan, a guy that ppl were throwing his name around asking Rigondeaux to fight him, a 48-2-33 KO that never been down and not old or coming from loses, regardless? Common man you know this is a solid fight and whoever is saying the contrary is either a hater or doesn't want to give any credit to GR, I'll say that the Thai fighter is more dangerous than KK, I c signs of adbeko fading...

I already said it's a solid fight but people like jsfd26 really wanted to see the Agbeko fight man, they said a win over Agbeko is what Rigo needed. That is until Rigo signed to fight poonsawat of course, then everything changed.

The opponent at topic was Agbeko not Poon. I still dont see where you're trying to get at...

This is a terrific fight!! 3 things I've been hoping for, a well overdue title shot for Poonswatt, A major step up for Rigo, and Donaire & Rigo both on the same card. FANTASTIC NEWS!!!!!

[ShoulderRoll]

so donaire and rigo will be at the same place at the same time and on the same card yet they won't be fighting each other. boxing!

Bob Arum is letting it marinate, bro.

The "controversial" loss in Japan that guy was referring to was against Sydorenko in 2006. He has a more recent loss against Ryol Li Lee (he was considered a nobody) in late 2010, which I don't think was controversial.

EDIT: Maybe I'm wrong. I found a thread where jreckoning said the 2006 fight was a robbery, but now he's calling the most recent one a robbery and just calls Sydorenko just a loss.

You've just answered your own request.

[Mister Wolf]

Rigo vs Poon should be the main event. Donaire vs Arce is a joke fight man.

Agbeko hasn't done anything to get to the top? He's a more accomplished fighter than Rigo. Going straight to the top without earning it is what Rigo is trying to do by calling out Donaire.

You forgot that first close fight against Mares that many people thought he won and now Mares is a top 122 lber.

Longevity means squat if you're fighting low level opposition.

But let me be clear : I'm not mad at this fight, it's a solid fight but I would have preferred Agbeko.

No, I didn't forget how close the first fight was, nor did I forget all the nonsense that Mares pulled without getting warned, but I'm going by the data only. Agbeko has 32 fights, and his first 20 are against nobodies. Then he loses a close fight to Sydorenko, who later didn't amount to much and got bludgeoned by Donaire. Then, he fights a nobody, takes almost 3 years off and beats 2 more nobodies. He beats Luis Perez (25-1) who had a decent resume up to that point, but didn't go anywhere. He beats William Gonzalez (21-2), who had a worst resume than Perez and also didn't amount to anything. He beats Vic (32-1), his most significant victory. He then loses to Perez (19-0), whos resume is lackluster. Agbeko avenges his loss, and then he fights Mares to two decision losses, the first which was controversial.

Only victory that I value is Darchinyan, his resume doesn't have depth, but then again, many resumes don't nowadays. If this is the case, it just reinforces my opinion that Darchinyan is a more worthy opponent than Agbeko.

Poonsawat's resume probably ain't all that either, but he has 50 fights with 2 losses. His volume and longevity is what makes him a better option.
