The_budweiser Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 One of the world’s top pound-for-pound boxing stars Guillermo Rigondeaux will fight in Britain for the first time on Saturday 12th March at the Liverpool Echo Arena when he faces Merseyside hero Jazza Dickens. The Cuban superstar takes on Dickens over ten rounds on the undercard of Terry Flanagan’s WBO World Lightweight title defence against Derry Mathews and is a further fantastic addition to the top quality show, that saw world class fighter Zolani Tete added to the line up this week. Undefeated Rigondeaux, who fights out of Miami, Florida, is regarded as the world’s best super-bantamweight and the dangerous 35-year-old is the man that Carl Frampton and Scott Quigg both chose to avoid and instead wisely opted to fight each other.

iamasadlittleboy Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Re: Rigondeaux gets UK fight Wake and Rigo are mandatory challengers for the Quigg vs Frampton winner...interesting to see both fight in the coming days in what should prove to be easy wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_budweiser Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Re: Rigondeaux gets UK fight I can't help thinking this fight is set up for Dickens to lose, so it sets up a bigger fight between Rigondeaux and Frampton/Quigg. I hope Dickens is being paid well and knows what he is up against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you suggesting there might ever have been another outcome - the man who lost to Kid Galahad taking on the most talented man in world boxing and you think there'd be anything other than one result?

Zute Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Re: Rigondeaux gets UK fight You should, Rigo is a great gift to the sport, even if he is sometimes dull to see him in person is hard to pass up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonRingRules Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Re: Rigondeaux gets UK fight --- More excitement in a plain ham sandwich than Rigomortis has shown in his career. Cubans have proved to be busts save for Kid Blast who continues to be jerked around by boxing. Jazzy getting the dickens beat out of him ain't p4p boxing, it's the only way to get Rigormortis into the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonRingRules Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Re: Rigondeaux gets UK fight Was he not already in the UK for the Quigg fight --- I thought so, but he's Rigormortis with lousy management that can't make fights which is why Arum let him go. Much easier to go to Russia and then be denied a visa into UK if he don't want to fight. Way to go team, so now onwards to their next disaster as their goof fans say this proof fighters are ducking the dummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_budweiser Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Re: Rigondeaux gets UK fight Was he not already in the UK for the Quigg fight Bud? Yeah, I think so. Not sure how it all works, but isn't there different kind of Visa's ie work visa, holiday visa etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
