Would Martinez' pressure bother Rigo in any way?

[FinitoElDinamita]

I was impressed by Kiko Martinez but he was up against somebody with no punching power at the top level.

How would Rigo handle his pressure?

Pressuring Rigo is an absolute recipe for disaster. The sad thing is until someone has the balls or natural weight advantage to do it he's never going to get the type of fight to truly showcase his skills.

I wasn't paying the fight much notice (was sure Kiko was a lot older than he is, plus he got beat by one or two of our domestic guys, so I figured he was beyond done), then I saw Romero's head bobbling all over the place... Looked good but I'm sure his reign won't last.

Martinez would have quit boxing if he'd lost against Romero. He's now going to look for the biggest payday he can get and it may be Rigondeaux. If it does happen Rigondeaux will put on an absolute boxing masterclass and I'd be amazed if it was allowed to go on past six rounds.

Absolutely. Martinez is a feel good story, but Rigo is a rare boxing gem. I'm not sure it is close. Hopefully, Martinez gets paid for the beat down.

Rigo needs room to throw his punches, his feet are very wide, at least in the handful of fights I have seen. He also likes, it seems to pick his spots and to turn his angles. A guy that can pressure him, stay on him, may give him problems. By not giving him the range he needs to punch effectively, not letting him get to choose his punches, and be taking away the angles.
I don't know how good he is....he beat Donaire, but he never showed me much. Montiel sucked, and he beat him, but I never thought he was too good.

Rigo would feed off a guy like Kiko.

Love Martinez but he'd get royally fucked up.
