Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux vs. Agbeko To Top HBO Card on 12/7 in AC

Zahir Raheem.

Yes. He beat Morales. Then, Arum put Morales in a PPV fight against Pacquiaio in his next fight. I don't know where you came from, but rewarding the loser and screwing the winner is not an acceptable practice in most countries.

rigondeax is boxing , he is not an artist who has to sell tickets . whoever knows a little bit about boxing :hit and not get hit , will watch him fight . he is a winner , a master . we better watch him whe he fights , guy at his level are very few , dont come along very often .

[lazarito52]

now rigondeaux is fighting guys at his own weight class : 122 or lower . you will see him kocking them down , tkoing them . he fought the 140 pounders ducknaire , and almost blew his right eye . now we are back fighting real batams or super batams , now rigo will shine . you will see. there is no 118 to 122 that will stand when rigo hits him in the body , one of the best body puncher in the game......go rigo , we are back.

This expression is a bit over used.

Primarily by the media which sides with "The promotion" and by 'hardcore' fans which like to contrast quality in the ring to "promote yourself" out of the ring antics therefore you shouldn't be watched by the casual mass. Very ridiculous.

good stuff. WARRRRR CHACAL

How great would it be for most of the top Cubans to be under the same banner?

It's obvious they don't have the largest of fan base, domestically, but given the mentioned circumstance you'd think it at least encourage a promoter to attempt to build a fan base in a region.

In unity there is strength. Numbers are nice, but focus makes you strong. The dream scenario you just described makes me wishful as well.

Man I was all hyped about this fight until you reminded me about the Zab fight on the same day. Friggin Arum

Rigo needs to jump to another promoter asap.

Hell yeah right, s**t is crazy!

[HeroBando]

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?

Well for one, Rigo is p4p and a unified champ, Raheem never managed even a paper belt, and as I told you, lost his very next fight. And made both Morales and Freitas fights unwatchable, which is a special talent.

Besides, there is no bigger more lucrative fight for Rigo after Donaire. That's like saying GBP is doing a **** job with all the Floyd opponents, since they're not moving on to bigger and better things

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

Very unlikely. But anything is possible carnalito.

Anything is possible, but it's very unlikely.

I expect Rigo to look his best in this fight. I'm tempted to bet on a "Chacal" KO. Agbeko is gonna be aggressive. He'll pay.
