Comments Thread For: Team Rigondeaux: Forget Santa Cruz, Fights in Belfast!

[Ratchet]

If Frampton beats Santa Cruz, I think he'll take a tune up or two and fight Rigo. He seems to be interested in the fight, he just wants to get through Cruz first. I think Frampton can actually beat Cruz.

They talk about Rigo near the end, around the 19 minute mark.

Frampton would probably travel to the States to fight Santa Cruz in his backyard before facing Rigo at Belfast.

yea it was exactly the same as the clottey and pacquiao fight. both clottey and agbeko showed up to collect a cheque and didnt fight at all. but it's rigo and manny's fault that happened, they're boring fighters.

I think Frampton should jump at the chance. Why not? even if he loses he will earn a career high purse and no-one will think any less of him because Rigo is that good.

Donair had to put all that talent on his ass one time though.

It won't be a career high purse compared to what he'd get for Santa Cruz. That's the more lucrative fight. If he beats Santa Cruz, then he can fight Rigo in a unification.

Spoken like an actual boxing fan.

I see what you mean. Although Clottey just hid behind a high guard. Agbeko was befuddled by great footwork and pinpoint counter-punching.

I'm not so sure. Getting beat on TV is one thing. Getting thumped in front of all your relatives can last a lifetime. I've seen mommas jump into the ring.

Why they trying to cut GBP's throat? They sound desperate. Oscar would get Rigo some TV time.
