Can't wait to see "The Jackal"

Yes please

A solid opponent actually stepping to the plate. Jamie has the height/reach and stamina to present a challenge.

Gotta give props to Mcdonnell. Stepping up when all these other clowns act like Rigo doesnt even exist. He really won me over as a fan with those two kameda wins.

Crazy but I love the guts mcdonnell is showing by wanting this fight

[lazaron72]

Cong**** to McDonnell , he got heart .
Even when macdonnel loses , it will be against the best 122 fighter in the world .
Unlike the rabbit panticruz , Scott quack quack quigg , and Carl the rabbit frampton , all of whom ducked rigo .... Cong**** macdonnel for wanting to fight the best .

Hit and not be hit ; you can not hit what you don't see .

That is serious guts. Move up a weight class to fight possibly p4P #1 on skills if not resume. Who has more skills? Not Ward, not Spence or Andrade. Possibly Loma? Not talking about who is effective in the ring. Just pure boxing skills. For those, look no further than Rigo.

Rigo's skills are probably the best in the sport.

McDonnell stepping up to fight Rigo would be a welcome counterpart to Canelo's surrendering of the WBC belt.

Mac must be having trouble making 118Lb. I thought a fight with Payano was on the cards.
