Comments Thread For: Casimero Edges Rigondeaux By Split Decision in Frustrating Fight

[TJ highway]

Hey uncle Al did you hear all the boo's as Rigo ran away? So much for giving Rigo top billing!

Casimero is a problem.

These Filipino dudes are different.

I don't think Nonito has it in him to beat Casimero. Dude is built like Pacquiao, boxes like Maidana, and has Money's flash.

Nonito from years ago, sure. He'd probably break Casimero at some point. But now? I can't imagine it. Casimero is a solid mfer that brings heat.

Maybe Naoya can down him but that's going to be a dog fight.

Agree about Naoya possibly downs him. In the 12th round, Rigo land his best punch of the fight wobbled Casimero a lil bit. But for some damn reason, Casimero's best trait seems to be not getting flustered when getting hit big time. Donaire gets flustered often when you hit him clean. Casimero has Golovkin tier chin.

Would love to see Naoya down him, that would be awesome.

Who has looked good against Rigondeaux when he puts on his running shoes? In this fight, he ran like never before.

Once Casimero tasted Rigo's counter left, he got gun shy. He could barely touch Rigo after that because he didn't want to risk being punished each time he stepped within range. Despite the size advantage, Loma beat Rigo with his skills and ring IQ. Last night, Casimero's deficiency in the latter was abundantly evident (at least to me).

Everyone knows how Rigo fights. He was like this when he was younger.

Casimero couldnt cut the ring effectively even against an old Rigo.

Did you ever see him run this much in his previous fights? Casimero made him do it. He was so scared.
Casimero was the only 118 champ who dared take that fight. Inoue didnt want that smoke.

This sums it up for me. And it solidified my opinion of Casimero. The trash talk is entertaining but his ring IQ is suited only against fighters that stay in the pocket. He's lucky it wasn't Donaire countering him last night.

You just forgot, Casimero blasted Tete in 3 rounds. Who has looked good against Rigondeaux when he puts on his running shoes? In this fight, he ran like never before. You would think he was running the Boston Marathon. That was just excessive running and the ref didn't mind to warn him. Even in Amateurs, referees warn fighters for not engaging, how much more in the professional. If Donaire will grow some balls to fight Casimero, bet your house on Donaire.

Ya they were both unimpressive. Rigo especially with his record breaking low punch connect number! Has to be the most hilarious robbery cry babying I've seen.

Dude could literally do nothing but drop his trunks and take a dump in the middle of the ring, and half of ya'll would be calling it masterful boxing and claiming that he got robbed.

hmmm so from what I can read or see most think it was a lack luster performance? I'll check out the highlights but I doubt it will be any different, it appears Rigondeauxs stock took a loss for a change..

His next step is to break his own record for fewest punches landed over 12 rounds
