Will Rigo's unusually small jawbone bring him trouble in the Pro's?

[Redd Foxx]

This is not an attack, so take a deep breath, fanboys. One thing that sticks out is that Rigondeaux's jaw is very small. I don't subscribe to the theory that a big chin necessarily equates to an iron jaw, but I can't imagine Rigo eating strong shots on such a small bone structure. In the amateurs, headgear would have protected the side jaw. And, he's clearly outclassed everyone he's fought in the pros, to the extent that his jaw has never been tested. So, what's your guess? Will he be able to take hard shorts (if anyone is slick enough to land flush)?

Yeah when Donaires left hook hits it. Rigo is done.

This coincides with Marroquin barely hitting Rigo on the side of the head and him almost falling down. Let's just say Rigo would not get up from the left hook that dropped both Mathebula in the 4th and Vazquez in the 9th. Mathebula and Vazquez are much bigger and Rigo's weakness is his size. It's going to be a great fight, another intriguing angle is if you like gore, if Nonito connects to Rigo what he did to Montiel, I wont be surprised if they bring an ambulance into the ring so Rigo doesn't bleed to death.

Mairusz Wach is proof chin size matters!















(Yes I know he was on PEDs.. relax)

He'll be in serious trouble if Nonito catches him with a good shot

That means nothing.

I haven't seen this much hate between two fighters are their respective countries. I wont be surprised if this fight turns into what happened in Argentina not to long ago. The Filipino whipped that guys ass and all his fans were sore losers and couldn't handle the fact their hero lost and started coming into the ring and fight the Filipino and his trainers.

This implies Rigo has fans.
