Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux Says No Intention of Pursuing Mares at 126

[thuggery]

Rigo is shook.

Rigo doesnt have to chase anybody. He should stay at 122lbs and make his career there by beating all comers.

[Weebler I]

Good decision. He is small even at 122. I just wish that division wasn't so weak right now.

But if he's as good as people say he is, wouldn't he be able to make the jump?

[whoseyourdaddy]

didn't this guy was just calling Mares out a cuple of days ago? and said he didn't care he would beat him just like he did in the amateurs.

[Capaedia]

Fair enough. He's already a short-arse.

I would prefer to see the fight at 122 anyway.

He's the man if mares wants him them he should go down rigo just whooped the best fighter around those weight classes

Not really Mares brings the money, not Rigo, because even dough he beat Donaire, he does not possess a third of the star power Nonito or Mares possesses.

Beats frickin' DONAIRE (p4p stud muffin) and now he's shook vs a dude who just fought Ponce (love ponce but come on different leagues). I do love Mares and think Stylistically he makes a better fight for Rigo than Donaire but he's too reckless and if they fought at 122, He'd take a ton of damage. Ironically I think Donaire KOs mares yet think mares has a better chance to beat Rigo. Weird how that works

Absolutely, but he doesn't have to. There's nothing wrong with staying at the weight division he feels most comfortable at. He just unified, and he deserves some solid defenses. I really believe he could make bantamweight anyway.

im disappointed...........

Rigo doesn't share your confidence

Get real, Abner Mares showed very little skill against Ponce. It was nothing but a "rock'em sock'em" robot affair. Abner is MUCH easier to hit than Nonito. Rigo would stop him with in 8.
