Now is the time to make the fight. Rigo is not with Top Rank anymore. Santa Cruz needs a big fight and there are no other great opponents at 122 for Santa Cruz. Kiko Martinez is facing Carl Frampton in a rematch and then scheduled to face Quigg. It's also a great styles-clash between a boxer and a volume-punching swarmer.
They have to make this happen!!!
This would be a great fight which would make the winner's resume look so much more splendid.
Rigo will win against Cruz, I like Cruz but he's no were near as good as Donaire, and Rigo boxed
his ears off, so I can only see one out come the winner Rigo.;)
This would be a great fight. Similar to Mayweather vs. Castillo.
I agree Rigo would be the favorite but styles make fights.Quote:

Dared to punch is a bit silly. He doesnt waste punches. He waits for opportunities and strikes. Id expect Rigo to stop LSC. If not he wil lose one or 2 rounds at most.
Rigo v Quigg/Frampton would be very good.
I like Santa Cruz, but he better bring his track shoes and a Net. Its the only way he's going to catch Rigo. I don't think he's as good at cutting off the ring as Rigo is at escaping. Rigo, wins the footrace or stops Santa Cruz on cuts or swelling.
Why would Golden Boy/Haymon want to put their ticket-selling Mexican-American guy in with a non fan-friendly Cuban guy who will burst his bubble? I just can't see them doing it.
If I was Golden Boy, Haymon or Showtime I'd want Rigo's future to be fighting in Indian casinos.
