How long would Rigo last against Walters?

[48cantCstraight]

To me this is a huge difference. Walters is a future welterweight, rigo I don't think can go much higher. It would look like crawford gamboa.

It might look like it in terms of height but that's about it. Once again you're ignoring every other factor that comes into play during a fight. Gamboa is a face first, off balance brawler with no strategy. Gamboa is not Rigo, not even close. Walters is not as good as Crawford either. Rigo would embarrass Walters.

[El-blanco]

Walters would obliterate Rigo, how anyone actually believes Rigo could dance around Walters' effective jab and power shots is beyond me. If lesser fighters can catch Rigo off guard, I'm sure a more composed KO machine would do the same and put him down for good.

I don't get it either.

Lol no he isn't man, he's a pretty talented offensive fighter with crap defence. He's better than crawford but the size difference was just too much for him. And how do you figure crawford is better than Walters? Because he beat, in your own words, a face first off balanced midget? Walters could jab rigos head off all night and rigo wouldn't even be able to get close to him.

If Walters were to take the fight, Rigo picks him apart or if Axe man gets too aggressive, he takes a snooze.

We'll see if this fight materializes.

[damit305]

Rigo would beat Walters at 126 by UD. Mid range scorecards. 117-111 type cards.

caveat- fight needs to be within the next 10 years.

He does fight face first. Look how often his chin is up in the air when he's throwing punches. I don't think Rigo would have a problem slipping Walter's jab, I can't see Walter winning the fight with his jab.

Bro, there's seriously someone called El Blonco? WTF? Lmao... why didn't I come up with that sht, I'm slacking

Back to the topic at hand, he claims Crawford is more talented than Walters yet he struggled against Gamboa for the initial 4 rounds up until Gamboa gassed and Crawford's size plus skill took over the fight.

Now I'm no Walters expert but aside from one punch against Nonito I haven't seen him struggle as much as Crawford struggled against a face first brawling midget in Gamboa. Rigo is a great talent and all but to believe he's untouchable and could handle a power punch from a true KO artist at a higher weight division is quite funny. Now I'm not saying Rigo's ching is glass, because it's not but if FNF level fighters can catch you and drop you a few times, I'm willing to bet all my points that Walters would put Rigo away once he lands his first significant punch. Nonito Donaire has an extremely durable chin and he was left on the canvas looking like Velma when she drops her glasses.

Walters via KO, EASY WORK.

Haha ya he just changed it because he's obsessed with me, seriously, I never even talk to this guy and yet he wants me to die lol. I gotta admit, seeing el-blonco actually made me laugh.

Back to the fight, I see it the same way as well man. Rigos got skills but like you said he's getting dropped by Asian rickshaw drivers, he's not standing up to what Walters is bringing.

[-Makunouchi-]

Wtf, you guys think rigo as a god or something, walters ice him and lomachengko outboxes him. Rigo will not survive at 126 because he is small. Nonito has been calling him to move up, did he move up? No, because he knows that 126 is too much for him. Its only in nsb that a fighter is so hyped that people think here he is superman or something!

Rigo's greatest win? - Nonito Donaire and thats a fact. Rigo was knockdown by donaire, you think he can handle how hard a puncher the axeman is? For christ sake he is like GGG in the small weights

How did walters handled Donaire? ktfo.

[Tom Cruise]

Would be an.interesting fight for sure. I feel confident that Rigo would outbox Walters for majority of the rounds, but would give Walters a decent punchers chance.

I still haven't seen Walters punch hard against a moving target yet, so for the most part I see Rigo moving round him, smothering him on the inside and counterpunching.

Saying that Walters does punch hard, and is huge, so Rigo can't afford any lapses in concentration that he has had in previous fights.

[Tom Cruise]

It's a whole different thing trying to generate power against a target which is moving unpredictably. Trying to time Rigo is much more difficult than it is trying to time Donaire or darchinyan.
