unusual feint by Rigondeaux
If anyone is a fan of guillermo rigondeaux then you should have noticed this before because he does this in all of his fights and I really dont know why? Some commentators even commented on this but no real insight on it. Its not like a typical feint, he throws a half way punch of some sort (a lot with his straight left) almost in slow motion/half speed...sometimes he comes off with something right after and sometimes not.
A perfect quick example would be right here at around 3:15

Would this be good to start doing? What are the pros and cons of this? As myself a southpaw, I have a few fights (no begginer) I was looking to add this to my game but first I need to know why he does this
Re: unusual feint by Rigondeaux
Rigondeaux just has so many fights, amateur fights, and ridiculous reflexes i think it would be quite dangerous to try and mimic. Those type of things often have a hard time translating over to pro where hitting hard and getting KO'd is a much bigger deal. He pulls it off but even then imo is putting himself and his defense at risk. Few people can pull it off. Like anywhere against good comp. with any sort of consistency. Dangerous to open your self up like that; but beautiful when it works. As it does for him.
Re: unusual feint by Rigondeaux
I havent seen him or if i have hes escaped the radar.
Looks like he gets more power from moving the way he does (should be called 'The mongoose') faster reflexes than a snake. Ive not seen his record yet but I bet its full of ko's.
Hows that natural slight slow feint you are talking about @1:58 he shortens his stance but lingers perfectly on each foot, touches out his left arm half way,which squares up his shoulders ,(setting the whole stage) and also putting his own chin in reach for the other guy, it invites the guys right hand as it comes he opens his arms and straightens up and drops the rear leg back slightly so that he sits down on his short right hand return shot catching the guy coming forwards as his shoulders turn 45% and follow his feet by 2:00.
:cool: Thats as far as Ive got. Who has given this bloke his best fight so far? I'd like to see it.
