Guillermo Rigondeaux Ortiz (Spanish pronunciation: [ɡiˈʎermo riɣonˈdo]; born September 30, 1980) is a Cuban professional boxer. He has held multiple world championships at super bantamweight, including the WBA (Super) and lineal titles since 2013, and previously the WBO and Ring magazine titles between 2013 and 2016. As of May 2017, Rigondeaux is ranked as the world’s best super bantamweight by The Ring, the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board, and BoxRec; The Ring also ranks him as the sixth best active boxer, pound for pound.
As an amateur, Rigondeaux won consecutive gold medals in the bantamweight division at the 2000 and 2004 Summer Olympics. He is also a seven-time Cuban national champion at bantamweight (2000–2006), finishing his amateur career with a record of nearly 475 fights with 12 losses; the last of these losses occurring in 2003. After Rigondeaux’s defection in 2009, he turned professional and remains undefeated.[Video 1]
Widely considered to be one of the greatest amateur boxers of all time, Rigondeaux has been lauded by boxing trainer Freddie Roach as being: “Probably the greatest talent I’ve ever seen.” Rigondeaux is known for his hand speed, counterpunching and elusiveness, and has proved an exceptionally difficult fighter to hit. A documentary on Rigondeaux is in the works by filmmaker Brin-Jonathan Butler. Butler also published a biography of Rigondeaux entitled A Cuban Boxer’s Journey: From Castro’s Traitor to American Champion, published by Picador USA.
