One of the greatest defensive fighters ever getting lit up by some C level dude. Very sad. People should watch this video to remember how slick Rigondeaux was in his prime.
I'm worried too. Rigondeaux did look more aggressive, but in round 2, it looked like he tried to go on his bike again. Ceja was able to cut the distance with ease however and forced Rigo to keep fighting that fight.
It is hard to gauge that fight last night. My only question is his legs, but he may be telling the truth. His speed is still in his hands though. He still has those hands.
He was not attempting his usual dipping and slipping, so I personally believe he was told to go in there and make it exciting.
i liked it when he fought in asia and broke that dudes face.
i look forward to his next fight to see what he does.
the left that he landed was a beaut.
It did make for a very exciting fighting though. I found it personally entertaining. I like this new style of fighting by Guillermo. It was very crowd pleasing. He showed his toughness. He showed that he can take an asswhooping. It was a fun television fight.
I don't understand your point. Rigondeaux is clearly not the same fighter he once was. Why are you bringing up Fury?
rigo said after the fight that he wanted to fight that kind of fight, and we know its so that he can be labeled more exciting... whenever he fought like he used to everyone called it boring, but when fury just did it everyone loved it. maybe his legs are gone and he really has to fight this way. but fans are so fickle
Rigo is definitely past it, but he's been caught and hurt more than other "defensive wizards."
The legs aren't the same anymore and fighters from this point on will just start taking the fight to him and try to bully him on the inside.
i think he was told he had to fight that way in order to sell tickets, remember when he fought like that he was labeled boring, meanwhile fury was praised, it was sad as hell to watch him fight like that
