Very wishful, I agree. But never an impossibility.

true. it would be great for the sport but not happening with arum always short changing rigo and gamboa

Can't wait to see a true professional at his craft!! The mans boxing iq is genious!! Btw Rigo knocks out his sparring partners with 16oz gloves !!!
For those that are worried about his ticket sales are idiots that's the promoters job...find me someone who can beat him!!

Whether people want to believe Gamboa ****ed up by skipping out on Rios, he did have a huge grudge with Arum for not making the "Mega" fight at the time vs Juanma Lopez. He kept proving himself and it kept being put aside. Lopez also contributed to the delay.

Rigo simply deserves better. Arum's reaction after the fight should have been of amazement. Nothing but praise should of been given by the promoter at that point. It's BS what is going with Rigo but we'll see in December where things go.

It's clear Arum has always felt threatened by Cuban fighters, even in his own stable...
They **** shlt up for him.

They would. And even if they didn't, you think more would show for Rigo in AC?

never underestimate those jersey cubans bro u know this

[thuggery]

It actually wouldn't surprise me if Agbeko folds Rigo in the late rounds.

[CounterPunching]

Nice, finally he gets a fight. Let's go, Rigo!

[lazarito52]

greatttttt . my man rigo, back on tv, back on what he does best :giving boxing lessons and exhibitions . rigo will ko agbeko , if he brings the fight and opens up .but if agbeko comes to box , rigo will out box him . good one though.

That's a dumb comparison. It would work if Rigo lost his next fight (ATG unwatchable), never won a title, and got ragdolled in South Africa.

Explain how it is a dumb comparison. Rigondeaux won the biggest fight of his career. Instead of finding a bigger more lucrative fight for him in his next fight, Arum calls him garbage and does absolutely nothing to promote him, while immediately working to get the guy who lost (Donaire) a big fight. He did the same thing with Raheem and Morales. So how the hell is it a dumb comparison?

I really wonder how they will sell tickets for this fight. Either way if Rigo wins this one like he should he will be fighter of the year.

I went to AC to see Peterson vs Matthysse but this doesn't appeal to me as "must go see it live" type of fight. Especially when the undercard is Willie Nelson vs Macklin
