Carl Frampton and Barry McGuigan shitting themselves at the prospect of having to fight Rigondeaux.
Was that made mandatory?
After what Rigondeaux did to Willie Casey I wouldnât blame Frampton for shitting himself.
I heard Bernard Dunne(see celeb spotting thread) on radio recently suggesting that Rigondeaux is the best pound for pound fighter out there, absolutely unbeatable
Yup, heâs losing one of the belts because he wonât fight him. McGuigan weaseling Frampton up to featherweight to get him out of it.
Thereâs no money in fighting Rigo though, the US networks wonât put up the cash for him anymore. Think they were always going to go up to meet Santa Cruz anyway
Willey Casey wouldnât knock snow of a rope he was a poor club fighter who got lucky winning that "blitz"on sky,Frampton is good but like most fighters this side of the pond heâll be found out when he moves up to the big leagueâs
If the mandatory challenger was some bum theyâd be biting their hand off to fight him. They know Frampton would get the head boxed off him if he stepped into a ring with Rigondeaux and are off on their bike as quick as a flash to get away from him.
Itâs not as if Frampton is a household name in the US anyway, heâs only fought there once and the fight would inevitably be in the UK where it would sell out without question. If Frampton was to beat Rigondeaux, it would make him a big, big name in the US, regardless of Rigondeauxâs narrow appeal with the networks - he is one of the biggest names in boxing today.
Itâs clear as day that Frampton and the McGuigans are absolutely shitting themselves at the prospect that they would have to fight Rigondeaux.
Theyâre hardly unique in that, nobody is in any hurry to fight him
Maybe not but he is vacating a belt so he doesnât have to face the mandatory challenger. Thereâs no reasonable spin for this one, McGuigan and Frampton are shitting themselves at the prospect of having to face Rigondeaux.
Would you take on a fight you know youâd lose when you have other options? Theyâre not gonna come out and admit they donât want the Rigo fight, but thatâs boxing NK, more now than ever with the British crop
It reflects extremely badly on Frampton and those McGuigan lowlifes.
Another blow against the noble, highly-respected professions of boxing manager/promoters alright
