    I've seen that this to take place in Ireland. Its an utter mismatch but a rare opportunity to see a potential future great in action in Dublin. Any of fellow Irish posters going to see it?

    It´s crazy, but apparently winning that Clubfighter tournament has some people convinced Casey deserves a title fight and that it could actually be competitive. Not that Rigo has much better credentials. Just like Casey he has won some single elimination tournament, what is it called, ah right THE OLYMPICS.

    I doubt it.....no bread for that sort of nonsense, I think I will stay in and enjoy the between-the-rounds beatbox action and the wisdom of James "Memory Foam" Magee.

    That, and Darragh Maloney giggling and tittering like an orgasmic schoolgirl as Jim Rock does his best Alan "my shirts are all too tight for me" Shearer impression while Mick "Sporting A Broken Nose" Dowling lays down the law.

    In fairness, Maloney, Dowling and Rock is probably the one occasion when RTE employees come together in a threesome that don't all do smack and dust in the jacks of Montrose together.

    Normally I would agree, but the humour value of watching local and limerick supporter's dismay as bang casey barely reaches single figures in terms of punches landed could be high

    I like Casey, he's exciting to watch, but fuck me he's in for a beating and a half here

    This fight is a classic example of where you need to ignore the bogus title at stake and just treat it for what it is - a fight between two prospects.

    I think it's a decent fight for Rigondeaux at this stage of his career, and perhaps a chance to redeem himself after stinking out the joint against Cordoba.

    I was expecting much more from Rigo in his last fight.

    Rigo is no spring chicken, either.

    I am not that impressed by him.

    Rigo is not all that good honestly. I think he's possibly the worst of the Cuban prospects. Didn't react to well in his last fight when he got dropped and hit repeatedly, resorting to all that running.

    But Casey has no chance. I have no interest in this.

    I'm really looking forward to this fight.. it's not that often we get to see prospects like Rigondeaux.

    Was the Cordoba fight that bad ? Any links ?
