Review: 2014-12-31, some good single shots between Guillermo Rigondeaux and Hisashi Amagasa but it is not enough to get three stars. The undefeated 2000 and 2004 Olympic bantamweight gold medalist, Guillermo Rigondeaux entered this fight with a perfect boxing record of 14-0-0 (9 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.3 super bantamweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Carl Frampton); he has fought once in 2014 beating Sod Kokietgym (=Rigondeaux vs Kokietgym).
His opponent, Hisashi Amagasa, has a record of 28-4-2 (19 knockouts) and he entered as the No.11 featherweight, he suffered his last defeat in 2010 when he faced Ryol Li Lee, since then he has won 13 consecutive fights, the last one against Ryo Takenaka. Rigondeaux vs Amagasa is valid for the WBO World super bantamweight title (Rigondeaux’s third defense), first world title shot for Amagasa. Watch the video and rate this fight!
