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

[Boxingfanatic75]

Runner aka somebody with good enough footwork and cardio to move. You're not a fan of boxing man, you're a fan of certain fighters and certain styles - there's no other reason to excuse the hard work of another man being robbed from him.

Using inaccurate compubox punch stats is always a silly way to score fights, this fight is no exception. How effective/clean a punch is matters, Rigo landed more of those in every single round. Scrapping arm punches that were credited to Casimero aren't fooling me.

I’m a definite fan of boxing. However, there’s boxing and there’s running with some slapping. The man landed less than 50 phuking punches in a 12 round fights and expects to unseat a champion? Cmon now! When in the history of boxing has a challenger EVER landed less than 50 punches in a 12 round championship fight and expected to walk away with the title? This is prize fighting and in prize fighting you must put butts in seats. Rigo cannot expect to ever sell a single ticket with a performance like this. He won’t headline another fight. Rigo was outlanded by 3 total punches and outlanded in more rounds than Cas and ran ran ran. You’re not beating a champion with those numbers and I don’t care who you are. Nada, never ever going to happen.

if rigo engage like what he did to loma he would have get knock out in less than 5 rounds.

This fight could be better if only Casimero throws some double jab while chasing Rigo. Expecting Rigo to fight toe to toe insn't a good mind set knowing he has this sleak style from the start...

Exactly. It takes two to make an inactive fight. Everyone is ****ing on Rigo for running, but Casimero was just chasing, and rarely throwing. There were many times where he would just stand and do nothing.

Thank you John Riel Casimero for finally (hopefully) getting rid of Rigo once and for all.

Excessive running should be warned and deducted a point in professional boxing. Professional boxing is entertainment as well. People pay to watch you fight, not run. You cant put all the responsibility to aggressor to make the fight happen and entertaining. Casimero should have won UD

[Bestlefty]

Even if Naoya Inoue was in there against Rigondeaux, the outcome would have been the same. Rigo has no respect for the fans who paid to watch.
Rigo should retire.

This is racism. Rigondeaux, as boring as he is, fought like Mayweather always did but one is Cuban and one is American. Mayweather never recieved even a warning for excessive hugging.

[Damn Wicked]

The right guy won

Well it was bad. But was it as bad as a Floyd Mayweather or a Wlad Klitschko clinchfest? I am going to say no. It wasn't that bad.
