Idk how Cotto's stamina is so **** especially with the way Pedro trains. I thought the Floyd vs Cotto fight was closer than most people had it but his stamina let him down. Same thing happened vs Trout.
Diaz needs to get his hands on a young guy and build him up. Then we can see what he's really about.
Really like watching Mares. But I am not picking him over Rigo. None of that matters, since they will never fight.
I think Arum would loan Rigo to GBP because he's not one of his cash cows like Donaire is.
If Mares goes to Schaefer and demands Rigo or bust at all costs, there is no doubt in my mind that this fight can get done. But Mares has to be the one to make it happen because he is the one with the bigger name and more popularity.
Guillermo ‘El Chacal’ Rigondeaux is looking forward to defending his WBA and WBO 122lb world titles in September. Rigondeaux is hoping that his promoters Top Rank and Caribe Promotions can make a fight with Golden Boy’s WBC featherweight champion Abner Mares. Golden Boy, according to the Nevada Athletic Commission, paid Mares $350,000 for his victory over Ponce de Leon on the undercard of Mayweather/Guerrero. “It was an easy night’s work beating the 2012 fighter of the year Nonito Donaire on April 13th but beating Mares will be even easier,” said Rigondeaux. “I have already beaten Mares in the Pan American Games by a wide points margin of 17-7 but with the headgear off and these small gloves I will knock him out. However, if he wants to step up to the big time he should take this challenge. I’m sure my promoters can make it financially worthwhile for him and for Golden Boy. Of course, if he simply wants to be an undercard fighter and not rise to this challenge, that is his right but all will know then that he is afraid to fight me.”
