Rigondeaux vs. Amagasa

[Cutman Scabbers]

Looks like Amagasa is a huge underdog.

[TheBeast]

Good opponent for Rigo to look good. Amagasa is tall but fights with his hands low and usually ends up lacking stamina to hit with authority and speed.

So i expect Rigo to be able to land everything he wants and get out of the way in time. The only good thing Amagasa brings to the ring is mobility... he likes to jab and move and has good legs... But with Rigo's blazzing speed, it shouldn't be a problem at all. I expect Rigo to bust Amagasa's face with his straight punch arsenal.



Ioka should be able to dispose of Perez in impressive fashion. The barn burner on this one could be Takayama who is a TRUE WARRIOR facing pressure fighter/grinder Odaira.

I think Rigo will be attacking Amagasa's body, and expect Takayama to handle Odaira with ease.

Guillermo by KO. Idk which round. Don't know enough about the opponent to speculate much on that outside of he's very overmatched & is likely to get outclassed at some point.

[Boxing Prospect]

Odaira vs Takayama is my pick of the bouts from this televised card. I need to admit though I love the look of Ishida and Kamikubo who are both on the untelevised part of this card, mismatches but still top youngsters.

Had a small bet in Amagasa, he should get mullered but...with his shape, size and power you never kbow if. wild swing might just do the job...especially at 33/1

Fight is an absolute joke. Just hand a homeless person any $ you are betting against Rigo. A complete waste of cash.

x2. To improve his stock with this performance, Rigo will have to knock Amagasa out two or three times.

[MachoTime]

Rigo should be managed by Al Haymon so he can fight more fight's like this one.

[Boxing Prospect]

It seems the idea is to fight more Japanese guys after this with Shingo Wake being the obvious name

[The_Sugarman]

Rigondeaux dropped in round 7, apparently.

[The_Sugarman]

And dropped again.

ENJOY!!

Amagasa's reaction after the first KD was priceless, he thought he scored a KO lol

Poor kid gave his all

I was just about to post the same thing after seeing it there, burst out laughing at his reaction, brilliant stuff!

[TheBeast]

He must have thought he was about to stop Rigondeaux and when he realised he wouldn't, that must have drained him mentally... considering the shape he was in physically...

[Boxing Prospect]

Maybe others will stop ducking him now...right?

Man Amagasa's face was a mess... i just woke up and it has to be a bitter defeat... i'm sure that kind of performance will get him more big fights though

Amagasa sucks. He was just a super drained light welter in there fighting a midget 7 inches shorter.

Dude is 5'11 and is starving himself to fight in the 120's. 5'11 dudes should not be draining below 140 lbs. 135 at the very least. Watch and see what division he ends up fighting at down the road.

[Deadendgeneration]

Look at his build. An Asian fighter being less than 120 (the day before so nearer 140 on fight night) is far from unusual at his height. Just look at his build compared to the average 5.11 American and it clearly isn't comparable.

"Dude" is a thinly built 5'11" with little meat on his bones naturally. He's not a guy who's been starving himself down, heck he's been at the same sort of weight for a decade! Thinly built fighters tend to be able to make lower weights naturally, Amagasa is one example with others through out Japan (i.e. Ryo Matsumoto and Sho Ishida fighting at 115lbs when they are 5'8", Masayoshi Nakatani is a wiry 6" Lightweight). On the other hand Thai's are typically short and bulky fighters.

A similarly stupid point would be describing a prime Mike Tyson as fat as no 5'10 guy should be 220lbs. Body types are the key. Caballero being another example of a thin tall fighter, Paul Williams was another, Thomas Oousthuizen. Some are naturally thin and wiry, others aren't.

Re what weight Amagasa ends up at, he's 29 and after the damage done by Rigondeaux I doubt he'll be in the sport much past his 30th birthday...

[diddy]

I'm not going to get into a pissing match about whether a
guy pushing 6'0 should naturally weigh 120 lbs.

Bottom line is this fight was only remotely competitive bc a guy had an absurd size advantage over a borderline midget.
