Rigo and Leo: Season's Greetings!

[boliodogs]

Jose Napoles was my all time favorite and so many great fighters come from Cuba. One thing I don't understand. Cuba is a horrible country and these boxers risk their lives to escape Cuba. I know it's not the fault of most of the Cuban people that Cuba is a horrible country to live in. The boxers themselves say it is a terrible place to live and it has been for a very long time. These boxers who have fled Cuba to box in other countries have every right to be proud of their accomplishments. What I don't understand is why they are so proud to have come from Cuba and often display the Cuban flag on their way to the ring. They seem to love Cuba even though they risked their lives to flee Cuba and would never return. Cuba is so bad that they have to make it illegal to leave Cuba for good. If they let everybody leave who wanted to leave there might not many people left in Cuba.

^ What? Cuba, Cuba something....
Anyways, I became somewhat of a Rigo fan after the Donaire fight, but he's on some ish if he thinks that because he has Leo "shook" that counts as a win or a "sonning" for him. If he eventually does fight him I expect him to stink up the joint ala Canelo Vs Lara.

Rigo is not fighting anyone at featherweight so we can ignore all this BS bravado from the lil man.

Most people are proud of their background. That's all there is to it. It's the land, the heritage and the culture that one is proud of, not necessarily the government or the conditions they've produced.

Funny, I became a former fan after Rigo's last "fight." Nonetheless, I do expect Guillermo to fight well if a Santa Cruz fight ever gets made. I thought he was impressive in the Donaire fight, and you apparently did, too. I would expect an effort somewhere along those lines.
