Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux: 118 Has Always Been My Weight; I'll Dominate Division

[KillaMane26]

That's age related - a bit like Ali - when Ali was younger (and lighter) he was hard to hit and his feet and reflexes meant he was hard to touch. As he got older and heavier, he was in range to be hit and had to rely more on his endurance.

Rigo is there now - he can't move like he used to and has to fire back more. It will make it more interesting now he can be touched as he's liable to have to trade - something he never had to do before as he could hit without being hit back.

Methinks his days are numbered as someone like Inoue (or Donaire) can chin-check him now, and not sure he has the beard and dog to stay in the trenches for long.

Rigo and his team chose to switch styles... Rigo been old for a while now but he stays in great shape. I get what your saying but we gonna have to agree to disagree

He's old, but he isn't taking a lot of damage. Loma drove him into a clamshell and he chose to slug last out. Just the same, father time is undefeated.

Oh, is that so?
Then why when you were offered to take part in the 118 series last year, where you could have made a couple of millions, you declined?

They just showed he only hydrated up to 121 tonight. His opponent hydrated to 128.

He is stinking it up right now. Boring in fourth weight classes now.

[Drigo]

Now exiting 118 division will be boring coz of this guy...

[lowblows420]

Rigo still got the talent and skills he's a nightmare for anybody defending belts against him
