Comments Thread For: Team Francisco Claim Rigondeaux Refused The Fight

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The manager of world-ranked Filipino super bantamweight Elmer Anuran claims that WBA champion Guillermo Rigondeaux "refused to fight Drian after a thorough review."

Anuran, quoting a supposed statement from Zanfer Promotions headed by Fernando Beltran, said Rigondeaux "opted to reconsider the Thai (Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym) who was his original foe."

Francisco's manager said "they (Rigondeaux's camp) believe there's a higher risk fighting Drian."

Erm... yeah. Rigo's team introduced the Francisco fight to the table in order to be able to push Poonsawat's team around financially. It's a business thing, not a boxing thing.

Classic Ronnie BS. Francisco hasn't beaten anyone worth note since losing his interim 115 belt. Poonsawat is a way more legit title fight.

This might be the only time in his career Drian Francisco is discussed in the US boxing media, his people better make the most of it while they can.

Silly post.

[devildg]

yea some clips of the kid looks like he can punch some and very awkward, though will probably be outboxed by Rigo

its a good assessment by Rigo's team, Francisco is the riskier fighter will Poon is the established guy who's not a power threat and is at or slightly above the level of Francisco
