Guillermo Rigondeaux vs Willie Casey

[boxingbantz]

In Dublin, March 19.

Interesting fight and one I'm looking forward to. Casey will make it a better fight than Rigondeaux's last snoozefest against Ricardo Cordoba.

Riogondeaux is 1/2 for this fight at SportingBet, I am piling in they sometimes get it wrong Sportingbet they are the only ones who have priced this fight up so far, I think jump on quick before the other bookies price it up for me he is more 1/5 shot.

Those are very attractive odds, Rigondeaux is going to be way too classy for Casey I reckon.

The Big Bang might have the big bang punch, put unless Rigondeaux completely neglects his preparation, then Casey shouldn't really by landing it as it is very crude.

I love willie casey, And I love his story,honest to god I do.But I really feel like he's well out of his depth here tho.I think his promoters mad to put him in with such a technician like rigondeux this early in his career. I no he's got home advantage and all that, but I see rigondeux countering casey for fun as casey bombs forward like he does. I really hope this don't happen. I would love nothing more than casey putting it on rigondeux, but with the pedigree rigondeux has, I just can't see it. If casey does pull it off, I would have to put it as upset of the year, no matter what else happens In 2011.

Rigondeaux is already disrespecting Casey by saying he should not even be in the same ring as him. That he watched a couple of rounds of one of his fights and said he would win this easily.

He is now 4/9 shitt!! Might go big on this, this is free money for me, Casey is way out of his depth and seriously If i was to guess at the odds Rigo should be around 1/5 1/6.

[No Contest]

I think those odds are a result of Rigondeuxs last fight, which he looked kind of pedestrian. He didnt blow out Cordoba, who got knocked out by Bernard Dunne btw...His opposition prior to that was bland. Also Cordoba dropped him and he isnt a huge puncher. Casey definately has the punchers chance IMO. I dont jump on great amateurs bandwagons this early, the pro game is a different world.

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.
