    As Tyson would say, the man's defense was impregnable! And while he did suffer a knockdown, in doing so he also proved he has the strength to recover from shots and continue his game plan. Rigo's physical condition is truly impressive; he could've fought another 30 rounds tonight if he had to.

    Chris John will duck him for sure!

      He's WAY to small for 140. He has no business anywhere north of 126.

        Rigo earned my respect as well. Extraordinary fighter. I definitely, severely underestimated his boxing skills. IMO this is even better than Ward's win over Chad Dawson. Even though this is 1 fight, I'd put Rigo as P4P #2 but again, that's just me. Is 122 even Rigo's natural weight class? Man, if only Rigo could fight Mares but due to boxing politics that's close to impossible.

          He may be small, but I think even if his speed, and power were to deteriorate, he'd still be light years faster than most 135/140 guys.

          Although, he does have small proportions. I don't know, I think he could do it.

            Hopefully he stays hungry, he's got a beautiful style to watch. I might have to go back and watch his other fights, I've only seen his Marroquin fight and now Donaire.

                  Rigondeaux can easily make 118. People never gave him the proper respect, but hopefully that changes now.

                    Cong**** to all his fans and to the ones who picked him to win.
                    Thank you........
