About Guillermo Rigondeaux
I think Guillermox “El Chacal” Rigondeaux is one of the best fighters on the planet right now, pound for pound, when it comes to boxing prowess, ring craft, and general pugilistic IQ. It still astounds me that some do not give him this credit, but I am confident that over the next few years as he continues to display his obscenely amazing boxing skills, eventually everyone will realize just how unique a talent this Cuban super bantamweight is.
He hails from wealthy parents and has, to put it mildly, amassed a spectacular amateur career, like many Cubans do. Few people ever had the opportunity to represent their nation while taking home an Olympic Gold medal, but this man did both while also taking home a global amateur title for good measure!
He has adapted to the professional ranks like a duck to water since moving there a few years ago. You’ll understand what I mean if you’re a die-hard boxing fan. Fighters find it difficult to lay a glove on him, and when they do, he frequently rides the blows so that their impact is at most negligible. When he was once knocked out by Nonito Donaire, he shown his enormous heart and toughness by getting back up right away and continuing to work while maintaining his calm to outperform the previous fighter of the year winner.
I recall hearing a story about a time when a former top contender (a Mexican lightweight) sparred with Rigo in an interview. He explained how Rigo frequently does small things that leave him very perplexed (and this guy was a top contender himself). He mentioned how he had the ability to knock Rigo’s knee off of him as they were sparring close to the clinch. This caused Rigo to move his body sideways and plant his feet in a different position, setting up a body punch that caused a terrible grimace in his side. That was only one of the things he said Rigo was capable of doing to you without your knowledge or consent before it was too late. When you actually consider what he was doing in that fight, his technical prowess was at its absolute peak.
Outside of Floyd Mayweather, Rigo is perhaps the best talented boxer of this generation in my opinion. While we still have the good fortune to have him around as an active fighter, I simply hope he gets to show off these tremendous skills a little bit more in the upcoming years. Guillermo Rigondeaux is expected to have a net worth of around $1 million as of 2023. In his matchup with Nonito Donaire, he earned the most money. Donaire’s winnings totaled $1.32 million, while Rigondeaux took home a career-high purse of $750,000.
