    Because Agbeko called him out months a go... which he didn't even answer back to...

    Rigo is the one that will be exposed IMO.

      Rigo must have you shaking in your boots, don't worry, it will be painless when he Pacquiaos Donaire.

        You all say Agbeko, its funny because Rigondeaux would destroy him and you would give him ZERO credit for it.


        Before the fight
        Agbeko is a beast
        Agbeko will K.O the chinny Rigondeaux
        Rigondeaux is ducking him

        After the fight
        Agbeko has never fought at 122
        He was inactive
        He lost 3 of his last 4 & looked crap in many previous
        He was unranked

          Agbeko has been MIA and campaigns at 118lb. I don't see why Rigo should be expected to fight him.

          Rigondeaux vs. Quigg/Frampton/Darchinyan/Bakhtin

He is stepping up against Alexander so we'll see how he does there, i'll still support him win-lose-draw.

            You can nitpick any fighter in histories record.
            You are not giving Froch any credit for his wins but are bigging up Miranda and Bika on Wards resume, p1ss funny tbh

            I'm not even going to debate, Froch's resume and achievements speak for themselves.
            I didn't big up Bika and Miranda, but they are better names than Mack. Ward beat Abraham and Dawson which I think I didn't mention. Simply because weight classes are there for a reason.

            Ward deserves his credit, not so much Froch on the basis that he will face anyone. If that is the case then generally Khan can be put in that list whom you seem to not like.


            As for Rigo has the best footwork in the World, not really. Your legs can look great VS crappy level opposition. Prince Naz looked super fast but VS Barrera he was exposed badly, heck even VS some others.

            Rigo to me has a relaxed footwork and does this unnecessary step thing with it. Like he is having fun. VS a World class fighter, that step where he lifts a leg up will be extremely bad.

            His defense is also very open to the elft hook with his right hand down and his south paw stance. He has some power but let's see how it is when he faces top guys. He has some speed and decent combo's when he attacks, but IMO that is when Donaire will land a lot. In fact Rigo is quite lazy and tries to use a balance where his head is forward to lead to oppoents trying to hit him so he can counter, but that is bad news for him IMO because Donaire has a lot faster footwork than anyone Rigo has faced.

              I actually wanted the fight for a while. Rigo is overrated to the max and I am glad Donaire will be the first to pop Rigo's cherry.

              Watch that left hook land all night because Rigo has his right hand low, and relies on stepping back as his defense primarily. Donaire will catch him time and time again.

              I will bet you 3 bil when it happens. You down?

                Also I wouldn't make that excuse. What I say is what I say. Agbeko would be a good win on his resume. A decent level guy that would be a good measuring stick.

                  Mack is the first easy fight he had in years, just like Kessler taking a softer touch in Magee and Ward in Pavlik.


                  Its not up for debate Rigondeaux's footwork is the best in boxing. It doesn't matter who is opposite him. He has put his footwork on display at the highest levels both amateur, professional and sparring.
                  His footwork isn't going to magically disappear because the Filipino phoney is stood across from him. And Naz's footwork never looked good, he was often off balance and tripping over his own feet, his footwork lead to him being knocked down several times.

                    Rigondeaux is open for the left hook!!!!

                    Guess what, Donaire is open for absolutely everything!

                    His defense sucks.

                      Also I wouldn't make that excuse. What I say is what I say. Agbeko would be a good win on his resume. A decent level guy that would be a good measuring stick.


                      He wouldn't be though he has been inactive for ages and not even fought at the weight, hes coming off several losses & majority of his opponents had losing records/zero wins/was making their debut.

                      He is totally irrelevant.

                      If he wants Rigo to kick his ass all over the shop, sign the contract. Rigo will fight anybody and Agbeko is easy work.
