Ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly fight!

Casimero kept his belt...........................but still.

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.

Except Mayweather outlands his opponents. Not the other way around.

Being American is not a race.

Both are descendants of West Africa.

Rigondeaux blew it. Plain and simple. Just like Lara vs Canelo. Get the spotlight and stink up the joint.

When very few punches are landed by either fighter the judges will almost always favour the aggressor, that's what happened tonight.

Which is why Maestre got his hand raised too. Exactly.

Can’t believe this goofy ass is celebrating this victory as if he whooped someone’s ass. He looked like trash with his inability to cut off the ring. For all we know Rigo is really 50 years old and had this kid flying through the ropes trying to land punches like an amateur. With that being said, Rigo needed to plant himself more and at least try to land meaningful shots with some consistency. Wack fight overall.

Clearly you have never been a boxer, you do not cut off the ring like that with an opponent that has a counter left, that was why rigos lateral movement was always to the right. You should have listened to what Mares said that its easier said than done. Lmao people here commenting like they know ****. Rigo was not controlling the fight per se because he was not throwing enough. Casimero was the aggressor with more punch combos to body then head not to mention that rigo was the challenger to the belt.

That fight was so winnable for Rigo as Casimero basically did not have a clue what he was doing. Dumb Rigo though with his terrible habit of only trying to do enough finally got bit in the a$$ by the judges tonight. Boxing is about making them miss and making them pay, not the crap rigo was doing. I am glad he lost. Just tired of him pulling the same crap so many times.

He surely made him miss by running and not countering or throwing anything. He surely did not make him pay either. Go back to amateurs.
Casimero clearly won. Shouldve been UD

Mayweather is a completely different fighter. He makes his opponents miss but he always land crisp and effective counters. Rigo only landed 40 punches!!

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.

[Damn Wicked]

The right guy won

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.
