Why do people feel the need to call him boring. He is no less entertaining than Floyd and actually had a pretty high ko percentage. Uses the sweet science expertly and has the mean streak in him. I believe it's the promoters who don't want their fighter to lost to him that call him boring an the casuals just go alibg with it. I wish he spoke English cause he can talk trash man. I.e watch his interview on thaboxingvoice on youtube recently.
No he isn't.
He's very entertaining if you like Boxing.
The thing is most guys here claim boxing is thier favorite sport but it's actually street fighting.
just like JC Sr. calls it..........stinky boxing!

:lol1: You got betrayed by the guy you "quoted"
"Santa Cruz has no chance absolutely 0 nada against Rigo", and also said by Mares himself felt he had no chance and that he was quote "like Floyd Mayweather" Direct quotes there. Idk what kinda retard doesn't love watching supposed top boxers get dominated and made to look stupid inside the ring. Thats plenty entertaining.
lol i knew you had a thing against mexicans lol
Other than the dig the rest is true tho.
lol i knew you had a thing against mexicans lol
No I don't. Just happened to use an example of another Mexican ducking a Cuban. Thankfully canelo will fight anybody
occassionally he moves too much. Rounds 7-10 vs Donaire and later rounds vs Cordoba I thought he used movement to the point that he became a less effective boxer and was slightly boring. A hangover from his amateur days where once you had a lead fighters would be told to move constantly in the last round to avoid getting caught.
For the most part though he is slick counterpuncher with good power. He also almost never clinches or spoils. Far from boring if you like that style of boxing like I do.
ive been bored watching him on occasion, but more importantly, the large majority of the paying public doesnt find him exciting enough to spend time and money to follow his career. some of that responsibility falls on rigos shoulders. i remember when jmm faced the same problem, he took it upon himself to take more chances and create more excitement, and the rest is history.
they say he's boring but when people feel his power they just try to survive because if they try to go for the ko they end up getting put on their ass or stopped.
plus he doesn't speak english which will be his downfall as only the latinos can understand him.
All these guys have to do...Lara & Rigo...PUNCH some more! ENGAGE! These 2 guys are the masters of disengagement! And try to look cool doing it!
rigo can stay in the pocket and fight....lara on the other hand does actually run
