Rigondeaux vs. Amagasa

[RA-Box]

Considering the circumstances, I think this fight couldn't have gone better for Rigondeaux.

For a first fight in Japan, I think it went perfect.

Amagasa had his moments. Rigondeaux looked spectacular and won, yet never looked arrogant. He seemed to have had the air of humility throughout and after the fight. Definitely something the Japanese boxing public can appreciate from a foreigner fighting in their country.

His moments of vulnerability will definitely have other fighters believing they can unseat him now.

Couldn't have gone better for Rigo.

Tremendous.

Both Rigo knockdowns looked suspect to me. First one was off balance and squared up. Second knockdown was more a push. Rigo was hurt by neither. On the other hand, Amagasa looked like he was barely standing. Another round may have turned out real bad for him.
