Nope, I think he will be the goods. He is a cool customer that will be very hard to get at, he is a counter puncher so when a guy refuses to throw he will not look as good.
Not everyone likes the Sweet Pea/Floyd types though, so I can understand your point if you were expecting a Ray Leonard.

Infact I would not be suprised if he was actually older then 28.Last edited by The Gambler1981; 05-23-2009, 01:53 PM.

i think he could of bullied and pounded gonzalez in 30 seconds.
i agree with teddy that rigo showed poise holding back from just going ballistic and getting it over quikly.
and no showboating and ***** moves like yuriorkis.
glad he stretched it out so we had a better first look!

No, he was just taking his time in there. He is a counter puncher and his opponent was afraid to throw, so he was forced to be aggressive. The fact that he didn't use his jab and he kept his hands down after a round or so shows he was more focused on showboating and displaying himself to the public with big straight lefts;notice everything he threw was a power punch. That was his first pro fight and he hadn't fought in two years, we shouldn't judge him completely for Friday's fight.
