Read what Rigo had to say regarding Nonito Donaire, Joseph Agbeko and more!

 

Round By Round Boxing: Guillermo Rigondeaux, the last time you fought was in Radio City Music Hall, New York. How do you feel about New York City?

 

Guillermo Rigondeaux: New York City is my second home, I reside in Miami and I love New York City. All the great boxers fought in New York. It is the Mecca of Boxing.

 

RBRBoxingWhat did you think about [Nonito] Donaire’s past fight against Vic Darchinyan?

 

GR: I was not impressed at all.

 

RBRBoxing: Would you fight Donaire again?

 

GR: Yes, I would fight Donaire, but he has to come down in weight. I will outclass him again and if he becomes a champion again, I will take his title away.

 

RBRBoxing: Bob Arum talked about building up a superfight between Vasyl Lomachenko and yourself in 2014? What do you think?

 

GR: I’m interested in that fight, Lomachenko does not impress me either. Both [Orlando] Salido and Lomachenko, I’ll fight them.

 

RBRBoxing: The final press conference with Joseph Agbeko got a little physical. What happened?

 

GR: I will tear his head off come Saturday night, I do not showboat I’ll let my fists do the work.

 

RBRBoxing: Any thing you want to say to your fans worldwide?

 

GR: I  appreciate the support, thank you to all my fans. I’ll see you Saturday.
