It reminded me of the 3 stooges when Curly ran around the ring yelling woohoowoohoowoohoo. But at least Curly started throwing punches whenever Larry played pop goes the weasel.

Someone else suggested a 10 second rule where you gotta throw a punch, I'd make it a 25 second rule but yeah for real they outta.

Hell no! The Sweet Science would die and no longer be effective!

There should be a 10 second rule in boxing, if u don’t punch u lose a point, just like basketball, 3 seconds, 10 seconds rules. The right person wins. Casimero want to make a fight. Rigo just want to survive. If u don’t want to entertain and fight, just get out of boxing. People pay to be entertained.

That may be true but i dont think RIGO took up boxing to entertain you. no denying it was a poor showing , RIGO used to be one of my favourite fighters based on skillset but since he quit against Loma ive shown no interest in him. He may as well retire no major network will be interested in him. Still having said that why was CASIMERO so gun shy?

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.

all boxers can do what Rigo was doing which is running. But not all have the heart to dodge punches and throw the counters. Rigo was just running like chicken

Dirrell beat Froch though - proper hometown decision that one

You can't beat someone when disengaging for most of the fight. Froch was the right winner. As was Casimero. Rigo was an absolute joke.

Rigondeaux did a Clottey run the whole night.

[mrbigshot]

Honestly I don’t feel sorry for Rigo here, just like Lara against Canelo or Dirrell against Froch.

That's almost an hour I can never get back. They should pull the purses of both fighters. When Cas wasn't chasing Rigo, he was standing in front of him doing nothing at all. Pathetic.

Watching rigo is frustrating... Really frustrating. I'm not surprised why TR discarded him. I will do the same thing if I'm his promoter.
