The person asking the questions sounds more bitter than Agbeko. It's as if he was inviting Agebko to be a sore loser about Rigondeaux's style. Any one else see it that way?
lol I caught that. Agbeko was asked twice about "the guy moving so much," like Rigo's supposed to stand still. What idiots. "Movers" have existed in boxing for about as long as there have been brawlers. The brawler's task is to catch the "mover" and put the hurt on him. It's been done many times. Props to Joseph for a classy interview; but, like Mayweather said, "He didn't try."

Paying customers don't have to do sh*t except tune in or buy PPV. Most viewers watch boxing for entertainment purposes. Very few people actually appreciate half an hour of Rigondeaux's footwork.
This is business. Like **** women; action packed KO's sell.
How much money has Rigondeaux made?Rigo made more money than you for sure in the hole year jaja. And better, without risking his health like the morons who don't know how to win in other way. Rigo and Lara has different options depending of the opponent, can be aggressive, box in the middle or outside. They are full package, this is the Cuban boxing school who has bring a lot of medals to Cuba in olimpics and world championship, and now with 4 world champions in professionals, even when promoters and everybody are trying to destroy their carriers. But I have a good news, he will be the king in this divisions for some more years with God favor, and continue making more money than you without risking his health. Someone has to challenge him due to his belts and with few money he will be able to bring his family and have a decent middle class house in Miami, Capital of the sun paid in full, not like you and me with a 30 years mortgage jaja. Good for Rigo, protect himself and enjoy your money

Yeah I didn't say anything. Luckily Agbeko carried himself with class as usual and in a different interview acknowledged that Rigo was the best fighter that he has ever faced.

Are you serious? Rigo took a couple of hard shots from Marroquin in their fight, and he catches lesser punches often enough. And who says Guille can't be more aggressive? The question isn't whether Rigo can be more aggressive. The question is whether he truly has to be. The answer to that question is no, not if he doesn't want to. He wins anyway. For sure Rigo can be more aggressive if the opponent offer some resistance, the resistance that Agbeko and Donaire didn't offered. Both guys from the beginning felt Rigo's power and they backed up and didn't wanted to engaged any more. Find someone with good quality and you will see, if not he has not need to risk him to get a good shot

If you ever heard any interview in boxingscene Radio you would know some people in this site are an extreme ballhug to Donaire and have complete disdain towards Rigo .
