WBO strip Rigondeaux, Glowacki also in danger | World Boxing News


Bit of a strange one really, Glowacki could be in trouble too

Exclusive: No Frampton v Wake purse bid, IBF await Quigg contract | World Boxing News


This would mean that Quigg-Frampton would be a full unification fight.

[Ron Swanson]

One more belt to strip and then Frampton and Quigg can't duck him.

Scott Quigg "Super Champion"! Fucking hell, I like Quigg , but this is ridiculous. As for ducking Rigondeaux, obviously you make a very fair point, but Boxing politics being what they are, this will only make it more difficult for Rigo to get one of these 2 in the ring.
Whoever wins could easily avoid Rigo by having a lucrative rematch, it might even be in the contract. And even if they did agree to fight, the winner would see themselves as the "A side" negotiating wise , and Rigo quite rightly won't take less money or come to England or Ireland.
Frustrating as it is, that's the way it is.

Rigo can't seem to get with the program, he's always in trouble for this, that, or the other thing! I don't have anything against Rigo except for the way he fights and I'm not the only one with that opinion. Here's this great boxing talent who should be on easy street. He could be fighting twice a year, hell even three times a year, but instead sets on his fanny because there are no credible opponents to fight. He still has another belt he can roost on. Good luck, you hardheaded little prick! Maybe he is scared now that he got dumped on his ass twice in his last fight. I don't think he even likes boxing, it's just something that got him off the streets and he is very good at.

Both ice him.

That asian boy had him hurt, no chance survives the two punchers

Strange they aren't as confident as you. Then again anyone who watched that fight saw Rigo get complacent and get caught. And after he was hurt he beat the fight out of "that asian boy". Curious, why say it like that? It sounds awful to the ear, why not say his name?

Had to look it up. Hisashi Amagasa surprised the hell out of a lot of people, not just Rigo.

Lol... No chance? Frampton was decked twice by a novice in his last fight, but I guess that's different right? Or the draw Quigg had a year or so back against the Cuban who was KOéd by a nobody in the 5th in his next fight, obviously Rigo wasn't better than that guy?

What happened to Donaire-Quigg anyways? I think Nonito would have had a great chance to win that.

Donaire is fighting for Rigo's vacant belt I think.

[Fenster]

It doesn't really matter if he has a belt from a fans perspective. Everyone knows he's no.1 in the division and the other top fighters aren't gonna face him anyway.

Rigo hasn't been done any favours by some of the "top" boxing journos calling him boring all the time.

There is something fundamentally wrong with this.

They've managed to duck him quite successfully up to now. I see no reason why that should change unless Rigondeaux signs with Haymon and they can't avoid it but it looks like Haymon is ducking signing a Rigondeaux deal too.

What's stopping the various sanctioning bodies just not rating him anywhere? They're not going to want to make him mandatory when they know their champion doesn't want to fight him. If they force their champ to fight him and they manage to make the fight somehow and Rigo wins then they're back in the same position again, the belt held by a guy that TV companies and other fighters don't want to know, meaning the belt doesn't make any sanctioning fees. So why should they bother with him once they've stripped him?

Maybe this will convince Rigo to cooperate. If not, like you, I see Rigo slowly working himself out of a boxing future.

I think he already has. According to his promoter they were negotiating with Haymon but the deal fell through. Unless Haymon agrees to sign him he's with a small promoter who every other player out there can safely ignore -- other promoters, fighters, sanctioning bodies. He's not exciting for TV audiences to watch, he's a miserable little bastard, he's got no large natural constituency of fans and he's capable of beating actual valuable commodity fighters easily and damaging their careers. It's best for everybody concerned in the boxing business just to ignore the guy.

If he doesn't sign with Haymon he's stuck doing off TV fights in Indian casino ballrooms until he can get out of his contract and then maybe he can go to Japan and fight over there full time. I would guess his next fight is a casino ballroom or on the undercard of one of the big year end Japanese bills. He needs to get on the phone to Haymon and just agree to whatever, but probably Haymon isn't really interested in him.
