Guillermo Rigondeaux vs. James Dickens: Fight Time, Live-Stream and TV Info

At the second attempt, Guillermo Rigondeaux will face fellow super bantamweight James "Jazza" Dickens. Unlike the first scheduled clash, however, Saturday's showdown sees a world title on the line.

The duo were set to meet back in March until Rigondeaux endured issues obtaining a visa during fight week.

The bout was scrapped at short notice, with Dickens (22-1, 7 KOs) facing Reynaldo Cajina instead. Now, though, he finally gets the chance to take on one of the best in the division.

There is also an added bonus for the re-arranged contest. Rigondeaux (16-0, 10 KOs) has been restored as the WBA's "super" champion, having previously surrendered the belt because of his inactivity.

Back to Work

An outstanding technician with fast hands and sublime footwork, Rigondeaux sits at No. 5 in The Ring's pound-for-pound rankings.

The Cuban—who won two Olympic gold medals during a stellar amateur career—is a master of working on the counter, yet his silky skills have been something of a curse.

The American public tired of Rigondeaux's style. With television networks no longer interested on one side of the Atlantic Ocean, the 35-year-old agreed to travel to Britain.

The decision to travel has also been necessary to find a willing opponent. Rigondeaux said at the final press conference in Cardiff:

"

I would like to show my respect and gratitude to Dickens for having the courage to take this fight.

Dickens is the only [junior featherweight] in the world that has the guts to step in the ring with me. All of the others like to talk and talk but they don't have the courage to actually fight. They know where to find me. I'm here and I'm ready to face anyone in the world. I'm quicker than FedEx and better than UPS.

"

Rigondeaux is back in possession of the WBA title after previous holder Carl Frampton moved up to featherweight—the Northern Irishman is set to fight Leo Santa Cruz on July 30.

Despite only fighting once since December 2014—he defeated Drian Francisco on points in a forgettable 10-rounder last November—the Jackal will be keen to impress a new audience.

British boxing fans should also make the most of the chance to see a master at work.

Patience Pays Off

Good things come to those who wait, and Dickens' patience has paid off with a shot at a world title.

The Englishman was ready for the biggest fight of his career in his home city of Liverpool in March, only for Rigondeaux to be a healthy scratch at the eleventh hour.

Having trained in Russia while his visa application was being processed, Rigondeaux suddenly opted to return to his adopted home in Miami, per Mitch Abramson of The Ring.

Having initially thought the chance had passed him by, Dickens is delighted the bout has been rescheduled.

Jazza also believes facing Rigondeaux will bring out the best in him, as he told BoxNation: "I’ll listen to my coaches and get my hand raised at the end of the night. I’m going to box out of my skin, I know there’s more in me—that’s why I took this fight if there’s anyone to bring it out of me I know it’s him."

British champion Dickens' only career defeat came against Kid Galahad in 2013.

However, his former foe believes the underdog—Dickens is a 12-1 shot, according to Odds Shark—can cause a shock.

Galahad told Boxing News: "Rigondeaux’s 35 years old now, and he hasn’t been very active recently. It’s possible that time has caught up with him, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Jazza pulls off the upset."

Dickens will hope Father Time gives him a helping hand on Saturday, but the rest is down to him.

At least this time he knows Rigondeaux will make it to the ring.

Prediction

How does Dickens approach such a tough task? If he chooses to be aggressive, he rather plays into Rigondeaux's hands. However, sit back and it's hard to see him outworking the champion.

The answer lies somewhere in the middle. Dickens has to pick his moments to apply pressure, albeit knowing he will have to take a few shots to land one or two of his own.

Rigondeaux's rustiness could lead to an interesting start to proceedings, but the Jackal will have the last laugh.

While Dickens will give it everything, he will be stopped in the closing rounds.
