Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux vs. ****ens Added To Flanagan-Mathews Card

[killakali]

my god rigo im a fan of you bc u are a "99%er " in the sport of boxing, but how in gods name do you turn down the wbc elim to fight this fight on an undercard? Roc Nation has yet to prove themselves as good for boxing..maybe jayz should stick to baseball and basketball or w/e...bc this is not wat us Rigo fans need...his style likely wont change in a mismatch and his age is only going up while his name sake is steadily declining..

99%er- by this i mean a guy who fights at his actual weight class and doesnt seem to rehydrate up to the next class..and it is not their choice to come in low..they just cant do it...nor does he ever get out of shape and balloon 15 lbs in his offseason

floyd for 90% of his career was a 99%er
pac at 147 was/still is 99%er
rigo is still a 99%er

i only know of 3 today..if u would like to add to the list thanks

I hope this develop in a Rigondeux vs Frampton/Quigg winner.

how on earth does it look that way..im trying to see it but i just dont..bc he's fightin in the UK? smh wish this guy the best and i also wish that he goes and puts on a show..i think they are takin him to the uk bc those ppl praise superior boxing sometimes instead of wars...idk..at this point i amost dont care..he's making himself an afterthought

Is this ****ens guy good? He seems pretty confident

This is a great match-up!

****ens is young - just 24 - ambitious, and a good little scrapper who will go after Rigo and fight his heart out in front of his home town crowd.

****ens' only defeat is to Kid Galahad, who was a highly a touted prospect till he tested positive for steds and got himself banned for 2 years.

****ens was ahead in that fight till he ran out of steam and got stopped in the 10th. Was Galahad on the steds when he fought ****ens? ... maybe.

Rigo should win in what I think will be great fight to set up a showdown between him and the winner of Frampton/Quigg.

But at 35, away from home, against a young, fired-up opponent ... there's just enough uncertainty there to make this an interesting fight in it's own right, irrespective of what might come after.

Zzzzzzzzzz...

Rigo's career is dead. Tough to feel sorry for him. He had a hand in its demise.

"I'll definitely have some of that" He's got some balls on him doesn't he A 24 year old kid leading by example. That should be what every scrub of Rigondeaux's division wanting some of that but we all know that ain't the case. They rather be Rigondeaux's quiet submissive b*tches than step up like this kid.

[Clegg]

Surprising good news. I haven't seen much of ****ens so will have to catch up on his better fights but he must have some stones, none of the contenders wanted it when Rigo had a belt, this guy still wants it even as a non-title. Good to see Rigo active and in the UK as well, guessing he wants to try increase his profile here and call out the Frampton-Quigg winner afterwards.
