Great fight. Rigondeux needs decent names like this now.
december 7th.... so it fits in the prediction contest.
good fight. the only problem is that agbeko has been inactive for so long that he might be a bit rusty. if he isnt, i actually think that he will pull of the victory.
I a huge fan of King Kong but like Power puncher mentioned, he's been inactive and I dont like his chances..
He's a well rounded fighter though and has only been knocked down 3 times in his career so ther'es no question about his durability..
ONe thing I know for sure is that he'll put up a much better fight than Donaire..
Have been big on Agbeko for awhile but dude will come in with rust, just can't avoid it. Why hbo excepts him after given Rigo so much crap but doesn't see fit to at least 'build' by putting him on some undercard makes no sense. Hes a better boxer than given credit for and he was royally screwed and literally neutered in Mares 1 but he'll be forced to go face first here as well as rise in weight. Good match, hope for a quality fight.
I love watching Rigondeaux, and thought his fight with Donaire was very good boxing. Agbeko is really good as well but wish he'd been active as was said. Still looking forward to this, could be a treat.
i always thought that agbeko was underrated. he has all the tools. he can box well, he can brawl, he is durable. he isnt a top 10 p4p guy but a few years back i would have said definitely top 20. i think that he would have probably beaten donaire at that time too.Quote:

Rigo is too slick. Can't see him losing this one. Rigo is gonna be tough to beat because he is awkward, skilled, n clever in the ring.
Mathew macklin - Willie Nelson and james Kirkland-Glen tapia has been added to this card.
This triple header is set..
I'll take Kirkland and Nelson. Tapia hasn't really impressed me. His best bet is if Kirkland comes in rusty as hell. Macklin is pretty much done. He's more of a spoon than a knife now a days. Nelson should cruiseQuote:

Glen Tapia isn't that great I agree but he's been racking up some good wins and has the momentum on his side. His confidence should be blowing through the roof right now ..
What weight is Mack v Nelson? Nelson been fighting at 154 and I would say a move to 160 is best for him. He looks pretty chinny. Looks a very close fight on paper for me. I think I'd take Macklin if the price was bigger then 6/4
