    Rigondeaux just got my respect

    I respected Rigondeaux back when he defeated guys like Cordoba, Ramos and Donaire. Then he went 3 full years fighting bums and he lost me, TBH. Now he wants to fight Flores and I think we should all respect that. It's a young undefeated fighter and Rigondeaux finally appears back on the right track. This will be his second best win after Donaire.

        Rigo never lost my respect. I'm with him win or lose, unless he's fighting another favorite of mine in Lomachenko, then may the best man win.

          Mandatory defense, he had no choice, other than vacate.

            I really want to see Rigo finally tap his potential. But, at this point I am not getting my hopes up. There's ratings issues, pay issues, few willing to fight him. And, if all those things can be overcome, there's the fact that he's getting older.
            Hoping for the best.

              Kinda obvious that Rigo wants to fight the best but the best ain't willing to fight him similar absolutely similar to GGG.

              Rigo can't offer them a great payday it would maybe be similar to the payday Roman Gonzalez opponents get couple hundred grand and that's part of the problem, fighters don't want to lose their 0 or their current steam/run of form to lose to a very tough talented fighter like Rigo whilst getting paid what they'd consider not enough.

                Chucky Flores is a helluva fighter. I also find it amusing/intriguing they compare him to Chucky the killer toy
