Rigondeaux shields WBA title in opposition to Kennedy on June 9th

By Chris Williams: WBA Universe super bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux (9-0, 7 KO’s) will be composing his first resistance of his recently won title on June 9th in opposition to volume puncher #14 WBA contender Teon Kennedy (17-1-2, 7 KO’s) at the MGM Stupendous in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The battle will get a mess of consideration in light of the fact that it will assume the undercard of the Manny Pacquiao vs. Tim Bradley battle on HBO pay-for every-view.

Rigondeaux, 31, massacred Planet Boxing Cooperation champion Rico Ramos final January in a 6th adjust TKO. Rigondeaux quite opened individuals' eyes in that battle by putting Ramos down twice in the battle to get the stoppage. Rigondeaux's form punching was out of this universe, as he cleaved Ramos into equal parts with his moving shots to the midsection. Ramos couldn’t take it, and battled protectively following inching toward getting dropped in the 1st adjust. It didn’t assist him, however, as he was thumped down again in the 6th.

Rigondeaux was wanting to exploit the triumph over Ramos by looking to get a unification match in opposition to the revamped WBO super bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire. In any case, Donaire took a defeating in thrashing preceding WBO champion Wilfredo Vazquez final February, and chose he wasn’t intrigued by challenging the hard hitting counter punching Rigondeaux. In place of confronting the perilous Cuban, Donaire had chosen to battle the light hitting Cristian Mijares in July in a protected and exceptionally winnable defend Donaire.

The 25-year-old Kennedy was freshly defeated by Alejandro Lopez by a 12 adjust unanimous choice final Admirable. Kennedy was getting lit up in that battle, and he made it basic for Lopez by leaving himself open so far while throwing left hook following punch. In his final battle, Kennedy out-worked Christopher Martin, but had to settle for a 10 adjust draw in light of the fact that he continued getting hit with immense shots. That would be the situation for Kennedy. He doesn’t hit hard enough to get his adversaries out of there, and he winds up taking big cheeses.

Rigondeaux will have tons of openings to bring Kennedy out with form shots on June 9th, for the reason that Kennedy should be reasonable looking to toss betwixt 80 to 100 punches for each round. You can’t do that in opposition to a counter puncher like Rigondeaux without working toward getting knocked out.
