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

[Realizniguhnit]

As frustrating is Rigo can be to watch with a 117-111 score seems like that judge had Caso winning before the fight even started.

Rigo did a lot of running but 117-111 was ridiculous, neither landed a whole lot of punches and at times Rigo was schooling him. I don't agree with Farhood's scorecards that much but he was spot on tonight imo.

114-114 or 115-113 type fight..def not 117-111

Nobody will be outraged or scream robbery for Rigo sadly

I bet nobody will be complaining about this blatant robbery. Casimero won maybe 2 rounds of that fight, you don't win rounds for playing follow the leader. Rigo was the ring general, with the better defence and better clean effective punching.

All the groupie jounros and weirdo 'fans' who've never stepped foot into a gym let alone a ring, are going to overlook this because they don't like Rigo's style. Like that means anything. FK what you like, there's a criteria on how to score fights.

This sport is a joke. What else is new.

Yes it is a joke when you have a runner that runs further than Forrest Gump. And for the record round by round punch stats tell a different story. They were almost dead even with Cas out landing the marathon Olympian.

To actually be robbed you have to not run half marathons and actually fight. I hope this ended his career

Rigo should have won...casimero landed nothing the whole fight swinging into the air
that judge that gave casimero 9 rnds should get fired...running or not dont forget thats how mayweather won all his fights...

Who wants to see another Rigo fight in the future?????

[Griever0730]

Wasn't pretty like always, but Rigo shoulda had that. He shot himself in the foot by not being more active. Had Casimero missing almost everything all night and landed almost every jab and left hand he threw. His style has always been a gift and a curse and it really cursed him tonight.Casimero is solid, but with his lack of head movement, Inoue and Donaire both light him up.

Rigo making a champion miss like that was impressive for a man of 40….however I am glad he didn’t get the decision because, that is a very good way to get people to never tune into a boxing match again. Fights like that hurt the sport. Rigo had no desire to use any offence to try and win the fight, he literally wanted to win an entire fight by throwing and landing no punches like Willie Pep did for only one round.
in short, excellent show of pure boxing skills by Rigo but terrible fight and that was because of Rigo. He has no one to blame but himself

And it was unnecessary! He was the better puncher! The feints had Casimero standing still. Ronny told him the right things, and Rigo wouldn't listen! Ronny needs to let him go. That's a waste of his time and energy!

Mayweather lands crisp counters and always outlands his oppontent Pacquiao included. Rigo did it to himself..

Rigo won more rounds. Even if he stank the place out doesn't change the scoring criteria.

Well Casimero landed more. How is Rigo winning with landing less and throwing less.

Tim Cheatham was preparing to cheat witht the scorecards. Makes sense with the name.
