    Counter Punchs are too explosive.. Too quick.... Too evasive... Too much Intelligance/Ring IQ. Rigo will out a doubt! Frampton is on his way, has great chance of beating Quigg or Weak a** Cruz... Unfortunately Rigo has too much skill and too much of a ring iq for Frampton. Personally only 2 who may come close is Walters and Lomo but I don't see Rigo moving up.

      Those counters would land and frampton would shell up or get stomped...

      I can see rigo landing a shot frampton doesn't see and stops him, maybe a body shot like he did vs Rico Ramos...
      Framptons speed/power is underrated and he's improved leaps and bounds since the first Martinez fight, whilst I'm still not completely sold on Rigo's power. I think its more of him forcing opponents to walk onto shots and his superb timing.

      With Frampton's solid chin, he could more than likely eat a few to fire back some of his own, which is probably the only way to beat Rigo since he's nigh impossible to outbox.

        You have to beat Rigo in the pocket where he isn't comfortable I don't think you can beat him at mid range.

        I think an elite pressure fighter will give him problems. But there are none at 122.

            Frampton is Rigos hardest fight at 122 IMO.

              Frampton's gonna have a plan, until he gets counter punched.

                I love when Rigo shoots a throw away jab, shoots his left and then comes hard with a right hook.



                And for 122; Rigo does hit hard.

                  I'm a Frampton fan, and i really rate him. He's the only guy at the weight who could give Rigo problems. That said, Rigo is just to good. He's elite level.

                    I can't look past Rigo.

                    I wouldn't be surprised if Frampton beats him though

                      Frampton has an inch in height over Rigo but Rigo has 6 inches of Reach over Frampton. Don't like the sound of that.
