Originally posted by f4314n68 View Postwho ever said santa cruz was a KO artist? All his fights are tactical aggression and he wears guys down. That is the only style that will beat Rigo.
A guy that will cut him off, has the same hand speed, and has very good power will KO him. A Kostya Tszyu type fighter at that weight class would be a good match up.
Only way you beat Rigo is by KO.
coming at him with oven mitt power and non laser like precision will get your head sent into the nose bleeds.

Originally posted by f4314n68 View PostSo cruz has no power? That's false, I guaranteed nobody in here could go a round with cruz. And hes accurate, when have you seen him whiff at the air? idk I got cruz all day rigo is 33 and time isn't on his side.
Mark my words. Only a Kostya Tszyu styled fighter with the same physical attributes as Tszyu could beat Rigo.

Originally posted by f4314n68 View PostIt's actually very realistic. Rigo will fight once more for Bob Arum. I don't see why people bag on Bob so much on the Rigo situation.. at the end of the day Bob turned Rigo into a super star and gave him the shot at Donaire. Donaire could have played the duckweather game and never fought him and half these guys on here wouldn't be worshipping him. with that said, if anybody has a shot it is Santa Cruz and he wont be gun shy you can bet on that!!!

Rigondeaux would tame Santa Cruz with his precise counters. Santa Cruz is good, but he's never faced anybody remotely in Rigondeaux's league. Truth be told, Santa Cruz's opposition at 122 has been good, but not top notch. He's dominated two legit top ten fighters in Terrazas and Mijares, but hasn't really faced anybody in the real upper tier. Then again, I think he and Rigondeaux are the only guys in that upper tier.

Rigondeaux is a terrific fighter. It also was a horrible style matchup for Donaire. Donaire was indeed lineal champion. He became lineal champion when he beat Nishioka, if I recall correctly. Fact is, if Santa Cruz wants to become king of 122, he's gotta go through Rigondeaux.
