Rigo vs Hamed @ 122

Does Rigo have too much craft for Naz? Or does Naz bomb out the chinny Rigo?

 

I think Rigo nails Naz while he's stood in orthodox. But Rigo was awful vs Southpaws.

 

It can go either way. Either Rigo on points or Naz by stoppage. Rigo will make Naz look stupid at times while he does his little shimmy antics, but I can see Naz landing a huge bomb out of nowhere on Rigo. Hamed's unpredictable style plus his power could spell doom on Rigo's overly reliant on his left counter.

 

Rigo on paper should be favored at 122, but truthfully, I just don't trust his chin enough.

I can't help but feel that Naz lays him out at some point.

 

Rigondeaux would dominate

who did hamed ever actually beat at 122 worth a damn?

 

That's how I feel, too. Naz probably gets schooled for rounds and looks like shit until he lands the finisher. Rigo was better but Hamed usually demolished what he could hurt, and Togo was plenty hurtable.

Hamed is so overrated

 

His power isn't overrated. And Rigo's chin being dodgy is fact.

 

Hames catches him eventually

 

Donaire couldn't catch him.

 

Donaire's a pretty predictable guy above 118.

You can't really compare him to Naz at 122.

 

You're thinking of the reborn enterprising Rigo willing to go toe to toe to make some noise. The original Rigo is the boring savant who wins rounds without breaking a sweat.

 

Tell that to Montiel.

 

OMG Doub, what did I say?

"Donaire's a pretty predictable guy above 118."

The Montiel fight was at 118.

Donaire can't compare to Naz at SBW.

 

4 pounds made him predictable? Ok, tell that to Inou.

 

Donaire was and is excellent if you attack him but if you could make him lead,he became predictable. Hamed was better when he could counter too, but he was able to generate some mighty power from odd positions.

I see this as a near 50:50 fight with a slight edge for Hamed
