Joseph Agbeko vs. Guillermo Rigondeaux Likely for December

[CubanGuyNYC]

CGNYC, you expecting a KO from Rigo here? I think he's a bit frustrated how things turned out after the Donaire performance.

Good question, bro. Rigo's an interesting cat. You're never certain who's gonna show up. The Cordoba fight seems like it was a million years ago. Since then, Rigo hasn't looked back. His very next fight, as if to make up, Guille tore through Casey in one. Then he clobbered a cowering Ramos in six. Next was a five round annihilation of the woefully overmatched Kennedy. But then Marroquin survived twelve and rocked "El Chacal" a couple of times in the process.

I wasn't sure what to expect after that. It turned out that Rigo was saving a masterful performance versus a P4P fighter. Against Donaire, Guillermo didn't back down. He exchanged with Nonito and never showed a trace of wavering.

Of course, since the Donaire fight, Rigo's treatment has been de****able. Given his track record, he might be looking to take Agbeko out. Joseph's style will play into Guille's hard-hitting counterpunching. But, although Agbeko has been down a couple of times, he's never been out. I don't think Rigo will press too hard for the KO. In the end, he's too careful to take unnecessary chances. "El Chacal" only goes for the kill when he sniffs real weakness. I'll be impressed if Guillermo KOs Agbeko, but I think this one is going to the cards.

Finally Rigo gets a fight and hopefully it lands in Miami. Gamboa should jump on the undercard to make it a bigger event or have a good solid championship fight between 2 big name fighters.

Both ****s Bob Arum and Jeffrey Loria should work together to have the fight at Marlins Park in December.

I've been saying this for a while. If the-powers-that-be want to promote Cuban fighters, they need to set up a card like this in Miami. They can add a couple of young prospects like Felix Verdejo and Javier Fortuna to appeal to a wider audience. People say Miami sucks for sporting events, but I can't see why a properly promoted boxing card can't make money and excite future interest.

I would expect Agbeko to get fucked up something fierce in this fight in a boxing sort of way, his only real chance is if Ringondeaux gets extra ****y (most like because he is winning so easily) and then Agbeko hits him with something huge probably wide that Rigondeaux totally isn't expecting.

Good observation. Rigo has shown a tendency of doing this in the past. He kept a lid on it versus Donaire; but, once he felt he saw all he needed to see, Guille gave in to a little showboating.

good news.

Great fight. I really wanna see how Rigo will handle 70+ hard punches coming at him in every round.

Surely his coaches have been planning how to upgrade his offensiveness and increase his assertiveness - they know he can finish about any bantamweight in the world as well he should now. Top Rank has made HBO's expectations clear and looking at the landscape of the division those expectations of TKO and KO finishes are reasonable because there are no more giants in HBO's talent pool.

I hope Rigon delivers a spectacular all-round performance and secures a TKO stoppage by round five.
