Comments Thread For: Casimero To Rigondeaux: I Want A Fight; You Always Run & All The Fans Are Asleep

[CubanGuyNYC]

Neither fighter wrong. A brawl obviously favors Casimero. If the fight is boring, guaranteed Rigo is winning. Thats not to say Rigo is always boring but he has been on many occasions.

Rigo has entertained me with his skills and ability on a couple of occasions, but more often than not he’s deadly boring. But like some others have pointed out, if you wanna brawl the guy, you need to make it happen. Can’t expect the boxer to play into your own style willingly.

The thing brawlers never talk about is how they get discouraged.

You see enough fights, you realise that if a fighter is committed to swarming their opponent and focuses on cutting the ring off, they can find success.

The problem is that they get dissuaded after the first crisp counter punch. They realise that they cannot keep getting tagged on the way in.

And therein lies the rub. This is why no one other than Lomachenko — the much bigger man, with comparable skills — has been truly aggressive with Rigo. Those brick counters tend to stop dudes in their tracks.

I never saw Rigo as a runner. Yes, he’s elusive, but he usually owns the center of the ring, bending at the waste and pivoting. Maybe he should stand still and let his opponent tee off? Casimero’s only chance is that Rigo done got old.

Well it is up to you to cut the ring off and make it a fight Casimero!

I love the Trash Talking though, it is a shame that Donaire did not go through with this fight, the Pre-Fight All Access Stuff could've been epic

[komandante]

Rigo is a boring fighter.

I fvkcing hate how much of a pass fighters like rigo get. "Da sweet science" excuse is bs. You know how hard it is being the aggressor? Your literally setting up your opponent to counter you. Not only that you have to beat them at their fight whereas they dont with yours. If you force the fight you make the boxer look good and if you dont then its your fault smh

Sound like some BS a casual would say. In case you didn't know, getting punched in the face hurts. The game is hit and don't get hit. Not hit and get hit. Go get punched in the face for once in your life and see what style of fighter you wanna be instead of a keyboard warrior. Smh

I disagree. Fans are not asleep when watching Rigo. They're too angry to fall asleep. I kept hearing them boo him every round.

Floyd Mayweather agrees

Lmao.... Atleast Ruslan admitted he wasn't effective vs boxers when he said something like this.

Lol.... Tell me your a ****ty boxer without telling me your a ****ty boxer
