2003 Pan American Games - Final (54 kg). Rigondeaux beat Mares 17:7.


The video has been posted here already but I thought more people would want to see it.

I knew Rigondeaux and Mares had fought in the amateurs but this bout was nowhere to be found for years. I wanted to watch it even more after Mares claimed the result was controversial.

P.S.: Mares beat Juanma Lopez in the semis.

Controversial? All I see is Mares getting outclassed.

Mares said that fight was controversial? lol

Rigo is such as an amazing talent.

I recall a recent interview from Mares where he discussed the fight, and he never claimed the result was controversial. He gave Rigondeaux all the credit he deserves. He did say the fans weren't happy and booing during the fight.

Was this the only time they fought?

Yes they was supposed to fight again but Mares lost via a walkover.

4th paragraph:

"I fought Rigondeaux already in the amateurs, in the Pan-American Games. He beat me, yeah. It was a controversial fight, but I would love to fight him again."
