Guillermo Rigondeaux vs. John Riel Casimero
Rigondeaux said he is not worried Casimero. “I’m not worried about Casimero’s power or anything he brings.” Rigondeaux said to the media, “I’ve fought in three divisions and I’ve gone after the biggest challenges every time. I’m just not worried about what Casimero will do in the ring. It’s simple to me. Casimero is going to do his job and I’m going to do mine. We’ll both bring our ‘A-games’ and see who comes out on top on August 14.
I’m not a big trash-talker. It’s not about what he’s going to say beforehand. I’ll see him in the ring on August 14 and he’ll get the real Rigondeaux just like he wants. Until then, I’m just focusing on my job. He says he’s going to retire me, so it’s on now. We’ll see if he’s able to back up that talk on August 14.
Casimero said to the media that he hopes this fight is exciting. “I want this to be a fight. The fans want this to be a fight. I hope Rigondeaux doesn’t run. If he does, this will be a boring fight. His old fights are no good. All he does is run, run, run. I want the Rigondeaux that doesn’t run, the one that boxes and fights.
