If you were to base the Guillermo Rigondeaux vs. Joseph Agbeko fight just on face off pics alone, we would probably pick Agbeko based on size alone. If you look at the picture above you could be instantly reminded of what it felt and looked like to stand up to your middle school bully. Feelings of fear, nervousness, hesitation all mixed in with a desire to punch that guy straight in his dome for taking all your Lunchables.
Looks are deceiving, they freaking are and we were always taught to be careful with the quiet ones. Guillermo Rigondeaux is that quiet guy that could kick your ass if you really pissed him off. We all know his boxing pedigree and coming into this HBO bout with former champion Joseph Agbeko he is the huge and I mean HUGE favorite. Not only does this guy display technical skills of the highest level, he is a defense master who has outclassed everyone that he has faced including Nonito Donaire.
So don’t let the picture fool you, looks are deceiving. The two fight this weekend on a HBO triple header that features James Kirkland and Matthew Macklin. Check out the full press conference highlights below!
