Sorry if this has been posted before...but nothing wrong with double posts of the god Rigo lol.
This guy can jump in a pool and not get wet.
I can see how people don't really like the way he fights...but the shiet is effective.
people spend their good money to watch fighters box !! not to be put to sleep by fighters , that run all night then use the escuse that they were being techinical !! eff that the name of the game is called boxing .... not borinxing
why did he leave wild card
Just not a great match with Roach. I don't think there's one thing Roach could've showed him....in various interviews Roach praises him as the most skilled and calmest fighter he's ever seen with the only other being Toney. As well as never even laying a hand on Rigo during pads. There were a couple pad sessions where Roach seems to get upset that Rigo does his thing and goes to complain to Rigos corner and the translator tells him exactly what Roach wants from him. Rigo then obviously says oh yeah? And shows Roach how its done and Roach looks lost on the pads and is obviously upset that he can't control teach something that is way more skilled than he could deal with. Brown had better sessions with Rgo. I just think that it was painfully obvious Rigo wasn't going to learn anything there. Rico can't be taught anymore. What he needs is only a strategist a LA Cuban trainer he's with now and to maintain his strict discipline. Besides that he's not going to learn more. He's complete and IMo fights down to the level of competition. We've yet to see his true potential unleashed.
Language barrier would be my guess. I think that's what I heard too.

I remember him not being satisfied with the level of attention saying something to the fact that nobody picked him up in the morning to run.
Actually his boxing is so pure, he makes it artistic. I enjoy that a great deal. He and Floyd are the purest boxers in the sport. You cannot help but enjoy watching it.
I do love aggressive lions the most, but the true Lion tamers are right up there with them.
definitely artistic.:)
