Pictured: Lineal World Junior Featherweight Champion Guillermo Rigondeaux


Guillermo Rigondeaux remains the lineal champion at 122 as his year consisted of a No Contest in a title defense, a loss in an successful attempt to win a title at 130, and being unceremoniously stripped of the WBA Super World super bantamweight title for losing in the aforementioned junior lightweight contest!
