Rigondeaux makes world clas fighters his b*tch to the point that THEY only get 4 punches a round because they are scared to get hit yet Rigondeaux is to blame? Yes he is to blame because the guy didnt wanna get knocked the fk out and Rigo should have broken his leg to get him down. IF this thread and people werent hating on his dominance over everybody they like this thread would read"Agbeko lost his ballz last night he had me sleeping".
/end thread
I just fast forwarded through it once I seen Agbeko wasn't willing to walk through the fire. I don't blame Rigo one bit, he fought his fight but Joseph showed up for a pay check and didn't come to win.
People keep blaming Rigo. I keep wondering why.
He's demoting world class fighters to try and just survive.
These 3 sentences are the best of this tread. If you just think about that for a second, what Rigo has done is friggin amazing.
Donaire was a top 5 pfp fighter/fighter of the year and got totally outclassed and made to look like an amateur. King Kong is known to throw well into the 1000's but only managed slightly over 300. That's something to think about.
If agbeko wasn't fighting then why didn't rigo go for the kill? If your opponent isn't throwing punches then why not take advantage of that and impose your will on him and just unload ?
That's right. Even Ward complimented Agbeko, basically saying Rigo feared getting countered himself by a pro.
I watched this fight first and noticed that there were a lot of empty seats and it was so quite in there with the occasional boos from the audience.
Later I watched the West feed and realized that there were a lot more fans during the Tapia vs Kirkland fight.
When was the last time you saw more people watching the undercard versus the main event? Crazy huh?
Rigondeaux did unload on Agbeko and was trying to land something clean all night. He's not just going to go all out and get caught with something. Agbeko is a tough fighter he could have countered Rigondeaux if he would have done that.
Not gonna lie Agbeko had me sleeping after watching 7 1/2 hours of boxing. Rigondeaux vs Agbeko was the last fight i watched last night. I enjoyed watching Rigondeaux but Agbeko had me sleeping no lie.
If agbeko wasn't fighting then why didn't rigo go for the kill? If your opponent isn't throwing punches then why not take advantage of that and impose your will on him and just unload ?
Wht people fail to realize here is that boxing is a business AND even more now of entertainment. They lov to praise these slick, pot shot no action no risk taking boxers as its true boxing. Yes they great at it, but they aint making money big time like that. Why u think floyd developed that personality to cover his style.
Itll be hard for rigo to do that with the language barrier, so right now all he can do is try to go for the KO more and just fight the biggest n best at his division n beat em which he has always done. Hopefully, he goes for tko or ko against donaire next fight. Donaire so full of excuses
Well said.

I bet all m y points that 95% of the poster blaming Rigondeaux are mexicans, and will love GR to be from jalisco, by the way the #1 p4p boxer in the world is more or less a similar fighter but with less pop, ppl fear what they don't know
bro Miguel "Titere"Vazquez is from Mexico, i hate that m@therfaker.
Boring is boring, get that stick out of your ass bro.
Don't be mad at mexican's bro, you fake sorry motherf@ker.

They're both to blame
Agree, from watching only the first few rounds, i bet most of Rigo's compu-punches were flicking jabs. Just frusterating to watch, seemed like an amateur fight.
As a fan of both guys, I came away highly disappointed with King Kong. Agbeko has been a warrior his whole career, and he completely laid an egg. Roger Mayweather pretty much recused himself from head trainer duties midway through the fight, and who could blame him? No one wants to be held responsible for that performance.
