yeah wtf at some random mexican kid owning rigo if some random kid gave Rigo the business in sparring im signing that kid up lol the story sounds exaggerated. Roach said when he had Rigo nobody could touch him in sparring and even on the mitts when he would try to do the routine where you randomly test their reflexes he could never catch Rigo he was that good.I've read that before. I don't know if you were the one that posted it previously. That story is pure, unadulterated fantasy. Just because it's in print doesn't make it true. We're talking about one of the greatest boxers in Olympic history, a current top 5 P4P fighter (at least), and some "random Mexican kid" walks into the gym and holds his own with him? Yeah...okay. And I once fought Bruce Lee to a draw.
***8220;I***8217;d like to see him fight the Cuban to be honest, Rigondeaux. Rigondeaux's one of the best fighters I***8217;ve ever trained technique-wise. He***8217;s very skillful, he***8217;s a great counterpuncher, and I think those two guys together would be a great fight. Working the mitts and stuff, when I***8217;m trying to get shots in and show him his mistakes, seeing the openings and so forth, he***8217;s the only fighter in the world that I***8217;ve never hit once. I***8217;ve never caught him. One time I was going to go to the body after a right hand and he stuck his elbow in there and bruised my arm for a month. I***8217;ve never got to him in like six months of training,***8221; declared Roach."Comment

lmao I don't know how that point escaped me.yeah wtf at some random mexican kid owning rigo if some random kid gave Rigo the business in sparring im signing that kid up lol the story sounds exaggerated.

That kid wouldn't be "random" for very long, would he? lol Where is this master boxer that walked into the gym, called out Rigo and proceeded to school him? Did they just let him walk off into the sunset, never to be seen again? "Shane, come back! Shane!!"
Pure bullshit.

But its not in any way though, Sanchez has several very good wins, one great win and a few good wins, Rigo has one very good win. The likes of Laporte are better than anything Rigo has done outside of Donaire. Sanchez was greatly skilled and his resume backs it up, Rigo is greatly skilled without a resume to back it up.Comment

Yeah it was interesting to say the least. I;m not sure what to believe because I have yet to see Guillermo out of shape. He lives in the gym and comes from a disciplined school. Perhaps the writer put it in the book to ****e up the reading? I'm not sure however supposedly the kid was seen fighting on the undercard of some fight in Tijuana for Rigo's 6th pro fight. They said the kid faded into obscurity but hey this world can really be turned upside down sometimes. I believe it was during a time when Rigo was going through difficult moments in life and he wasn't comfortable in California. Thus he was happy to chuck the peace sign at Roach and leave Cali. Again, I wasn't there so I can't say it happened or not but I was replying to Hectari's statement. I was just remembering what I read lmao.lmao I don't know how that point escaped me.

The "in a way" he's talking about is how we didn't get to see enough of Chava in his prime, and we won't get to see enough of Rigo in his prime.But its not in any way though, Sanchez has several very good wins, one great win and a few good wins, Rigo has one very good win. The likes of Laporte are better than anything Rigo has done outside of Donaire. Sanchez was greatly skilled and his resume backs it up, Rigo is greatly skilled without a resume to back it up.Comment
