    Rigondeaux is Back With Trainer Jorge Rubio; No Longer with Pedro Diaz

    Good interview with Rigo. Basically says that he has worked with Rubio in the past and he wants him to become more aggressive.

    Rigo has had like 6 different trainers since he came to the states.

    And when he was With roach, roach tried to force him to be more aggressive and he tod rigo if he didn't change his style it was going to really hold his career back.

    Years later rigo wants to be aggressive...

      Yea, I was told about this and I had told Cu****uy about it.

      Like I said, Rigo chances trainers like he changes draws. But he's worked with all these guys before so theres chemistry between them.

        Rubio was infamously Amir Khan's trainer in the Breidis Prescott 54 second slaughter and was made the scapegoat and quickly fired straight after. Rubio was the guy who gave the green light to Frank Warren and Amir Khan to fight Prescott.

          Great interview, bro. Thanks. Rigo sounds very even-keel about his career and his soon-to-be-ex-promoter. It was interesting to read his response to increasing his aggression. Guillermo is still just a rookie pro. It's easy to forget that. He'll come around.

            I don't like to see any fighter I like change coaches too often. At least Jorge doesn't count as a "new" trainer. lol

            Of course, now I'm left wondering why Rigo left Diaz. Knowing Guille, it was probably a money issue. lol

                Having a top prospect get smoked in one round tends to get people fired. lol

                  Did you actually see any of the training Roach was doing with him?
                  It was straight out of his one size fits all Pacquiao template

                    The change to Pedro worried me cause they hadnt worked together in so long and it was right before the biggest fight. This change, Im not worried about.
