Rigondeaux was off balance when Cordoba hit him with a meaningless punch. He wasn't hurt at all. These cubans because of their loose footwork will ahve a greater tendency to go down when they aren't hurt at all. We've seen it a few times from Gamboa. Casey isn't that big of a puncher, and he really doesn't sit down on his punches that effectively. From what I've seen he has decent power, and decent speed, and he's exciting but that's about it. I think RIgondeaux is going to make him timid after the first few times Rigondeaux hits him. I don't think it was a great performance by Guillermo, but he easily outboxed Cordoba, and should have only lost one or two rounds.

2. Who favoured Hyland over Casey? Casey was a 4/7 so who was surprised? Everyone I saw predicted a Casey win?
1. I'm implying that As Casey was never favoured to beat Martinez I cannot understand why people see an opportunity against Riggondeaux who is a much more complete fighter than Martinez.
2. Hyland was favoured by many ;)

The reason he was a scheduled underdog v Martinez is that he was probably going to get beat. Like he is in this fight.
I disagree that Casey was favoured over Hyland.

Here's the game plan the Rigondeaux used for the second half of the fight against Cordoba.

Same plan Rau'shee used to lose in the first round of the Olympics. In the am's you can get away with it, but in the pros it's hard to look like the effective aggressor when you're still getting hit and getting on the bike even if you are slightly landing more punches. It's clearly an amateur strategy that he hasn't unlearned.
Don't get me wrong, he will wipe the floor with Casey.
