On the Pacquiao/Margarito undercard, Rigondeaux is fighting Ricardo Cordoba (may remember from the FOTY candidate against Bernard Dunne last year). I'm excited to see how he does against a real pro, a great step up IMO.
Cordoba is young, sturdy and has fought some world class opponents.
Could be a challenge, but I don't see him having what it takes to really push Rigondeaux. Just doesn't have enough tools IMO to do it. But then again it is boxing and anything could happen.
Better challenge but a real challenge i doubt. I'm not big on this dude yet but if he's even 60% as good as the whole world thinks he is, he should have no problem with this guy.
But of course you don't think anyone could challenge Rigondeaux do you?Quote:

This is a real challenge!!! Cordoba has 2 draws with Sidorenko, & prior to the Dunne loss his only other loss was to Kratingdaenggym on a SD in Thailand! This will tell us a lot about Rigondeaux!Quote:

I agree man. I've heard various things about Rigondeaux and his lack of commitment, so I believe that this will be a very good test for him.....Quote:
