I'm OK if I never see Rigo again

That was an awful non-performance on Rigo's part.

he was rusty for ten rounds doe To be fair, he was rusty after taking a year off, and taking a fight on barely 2 weeks notice. Not like there was any chance to shake the rust off in the gym.

Must be the curse of the ROC. Cotto beat and runs out the ring Ward gets injured Rigo takes a dump in the punch bowl I bet you Broner is glad he didn't sign now. Funny how everyone just thinks they have money, that means they will make it in the fight game. 50 J Stick to rap.

Rigo is the techically sound boxer in the game. Why do you think he refuses to entertain on american soil? Watch his fight with the dangerous huge giant japanese guy who is twice lomachenko size, he went after that japanese, but a small weak tailormade guy like Francisco he refuses to let hus hands go? Why take chances on a dangerous foe but fight scary on a weak foe? Also if he can fight that 145 pound japa why cant he fight lomachenko at 126. Rigo has fought bigger guys than lomachenko, marroquin, donaire, and the japanese dude. I don't know what's up with that dude. I don't care. It's always something with him. It's not my job to figure him out. It's his job to fight, whichever way he chooses to -- box, brawl, whatever. What he did this past Saturday was indescribably bad. He doesn't deserve to fight professionally ever again. Fuck him.

Lederman was right. Rigo doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as warriors like Gavilán and Napoles. The guy doesn't even try. It's pathetic.

Definitely boring style like Mayweather, Ward, W. Klitschko.

I think he's the best technical fihter in boxing, I've said that since he went pro. Ive defended him, and often said, his opponents are too scared which is why the fights are boring. But after all that, you can't defend how little he gives a crap about entertaining fans. he doesn't deserve to ever be televised ever again. I wanted rigo vs loma, but rigo pretty much destroyed that fight last night. All these fighters who think it's acceptable to bore the fans, as long as they win, none of them deserve tv time. We see 100% eye-to-eye. I could have written this.

Professional fighters fight for the fans entertainment. If the fans are not entertained, the fighter needs to find a new line of work. The fans are paying customers who do not owe anyone a living. Someone point this out to Rigo.

Yeah, my parents who are casuals said he was extremely boring. I explained he's a good fighter but very boring. They knew he was the much better fighter but just didn't want to step on the gas. Oh well he is what he is, just hope him and his fans stop crying why no one likes him.

The problem is the timing of rigo's malfunction. This event is supposed to help him garner some great exposure to the public, he is supposed to show that he is worth watching for, that he is a must watch; he is supposed to turn around his public image of being a super boring to casuals; who's only concern is to not get beat and thus will not practice modern sweet science of "hit, not get hit and be in position to hit again". What he is doing is just hit and don't get hit. that's it. And that's fucckking boring to the casuals, they don't understand that thing and certainly it don't entertain them one bit.

Somewhere in the middle rounds the opponent was even mocking Rigo, begging him to knock him out. As a huge Rigo fan, I was so disappointed. Ring rust or not, he could have taken that guy out if he wanted to. I wonder what Roc Nation's thinking right now about their new investment. I can't help but wonder though if his best years are gone given that he turned pro so late? Maybe he just had an off night but he didn't do himself any favors with his performance....

Such a boring style runs all night and then complains that nobody wants to watch him. it's actually like he deliberately sets out to win in the most boring style and way he can

How much did he get paid? And did he really only throw 76 punches lol?

he's 35, he seems content not to be popular. he's not your average athlete, he has a very introverted personality type. Introverted? Have ever listen to Rigo, he is fun and talk a lot of trash, he is far from Introverted but yes he is not a diva or have diva aspirations just go out and beat the best in the division. But I know him, and I always hate that he dosen't push the action. He definitely need the right dancing partner, someone who will forcing to fight, like the Japanese guys, to bad not everybody is willing to get his face destroy. But today it was awful, I hope is just rust and he was trying not to do to much. Even with a guy like adbeko he was trying but hopefully this just a him with a week of notice.

I like how Harold Lederman kept it real by dropping the exciting Cuban legends at the end and saying its a Disgrace how Rigo fights. It truly is, but I guess because JayZ paid him a couple million he has no reason to excite, rigo is like a College star who when he got a big money contract in the pros stopped trying hard. Dude Rigo had a tailormade guy in front of him, but refused to let his hands go, Maybe Rigo hates America? if you notice when he fights in Japan he or overseas he will throw down but in America he fights so boring, he might still have pro castro feelings and this is his way to say F you America. Lederman was right. Rigo doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as warriors like Gavilán and Napoles. The guy doesn't even try. It's pathetic.

I love Rigo as a fighter, but that was not up to standard. It was slow and he wasn't doing much of what he usually does.

It was an unusually sedate performance from Rigondeaux....
