I think Nonito will win. But it won't be a war and there won't be any KDs or a KOs. I believe it will be a very technical fight and the general boxing audience will be very bored.
But hey, maybe Rigo can pull this one out and surprise the Boxing World with a huge KO upset win.

I just finished watching the HBO version for the first time (I was in attendance that night), and I was shocked by how much moving Rigondeaux did after the knockdown. I remembered him playing it safe, but that was ridiculous. He still won fairly easy, but I never want to see that version of him resurface.

Originally posted by CubanGuyNYC View PostNever again, please. And, to be honest, I don't think Rigo will ever make such a mistake again. He's fought very differently since then. I was a little concerned with how tentative he seemed against Ramos, he could've polished Rico off earlier, but Guille got the job done early enough. In this coming fight, I think Rigondeaux will have to fight. Donaire will press, and I believe Guillermo will answer the call. The Cordoba fight is long since past.

Originally posted by CubanGuyNYC View PostI don't think Rigo exactly struggled with Cordoba. The way it played out was, Guille was easily outclassing Ricardo during the first half of the fight, scoring a knockdown along the way. In the sixth, Cordoba knocked Rigo down (glove to the canvass), after which Guillermo got on his bike and coasted to a points win.
It was incomprehensible why Rigondeaux reacted so drastically after the knockdown, but he won the fight without any trouble. Cordoba didn't land anything of any real merit, even with the jab that caused Rigo's "touchdown." The judges' cards were obviously affected by Guillermo's unwillingness to engage, but they awarded him the split decision anyway.
he struggled plain and simple. don't even know why you're trying to spin it around. i saw that fight on hbo at first run and i was exasperated with what i saw. when your opponent is chasing you around the ring while you can't stop from running that's struggling to me. he wasn't even boxing, he was literally running. he lost his confidence after he got dropped and if not for the early rounds that he put in the bag he should've lost that fight. he was giving away rounds for doing almost nothing. why would a fighter do that if he wasn't struggling?
