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

I you consider this a step up in competition that is fine by me...just don't ***** and make excuses if Rigondeaux blows him away and come back and say "Poonsawat Was A Bum"

He does come forward and tries to press the action so I expect Rigondeaux to be able to use his Quick Counter Punches against Poonsawat

No actual fans of the sport will do that.

It's exactly what happened when Donaire beat Nishioka though.

I've never disliked him. I had a beer bet with someone on whether he could win a title within like his first 18 months and he almost did (settling at interim). I just find his Cult following, screaming duck since Ramos fight, a tad insane. I want to see him get to the big fights. I think he could have a very Tszyu-like run.

Understood. The "Stans" can get under your skin, no matter what fighter they choose to back.

Myself? I'd like to see Rigo have himself an ATG career. If he doesn't, he doesn't; but I don't have any qualms acknowledging my allegiances. Let's hope, for the sake of the sport, that we have some memorable fights ahead.

At the age he's at, that's close to an impossible task IMO.

Tall order.

And you know this....

Probably. I guess what I mean is, "with the time he has left."
