Rigo amazes me

[hectari]

Rigo is shot dude. He can't pull the trigger anymore. In his prime he stops Casimero. At 40 and at 118 he can't even land a clean power punch.

He aint shot that dude looked great he just does **** like this, he will have some crazy good scraps where he exchanges and then he has fights where he does nothing but run he is a strange guy.

That had to bet he most boring fight of all time still cant believe one judge even gave him the fight, he did nothing you cant win a fight just running pretty soon the judges will give everyone round to the guy trying to actually fight

In a boxing match?

yes in a boxing match, i think rigo will frustrate inoue..

[El Más Loco]

No way he won, rigo didn’t do much but neither did he

The literally both landed the same amount.....and Rigo made Casemiro look ****** with all those missed wild shots. Rigo won clearly, boring, but clearly.

I think he is shot and he tasted Casimero's power. He doesn't want to taste it too many times. That's why he became super extra mega cautious.

Rigo doesn't even have to do a 180 with his style. He can still be a safety first boxer.

Just throw a damn punch when you see an opening.

Casimero was wide open most of the fight.

Well I made the argument with my old man that, in scoring we can’t really go off of effective aggression, because Rigo showed no aggressiveness, and Casimero’s aggressiveness was largely ineffective, but ring generalship and overall defense goes to Rigo in nearly every rd. So if we go off of that criteria, Rigo wins. But at the end of the day, you need to throw punches. Activity, whether effective or not, goes to Casimero all the way.

Fight is hard to score because you’re looking at 1 or 2 sequences of actual punches landing in a rd. And the number of punches actually landing are similar to each other. So now what you’re judging off of, is secondary criteria. Ring generalship and defensive ability, which would go to Rigo.

Rigo just doesn’t know what judges look for in a bout. He’s in this amateur style of point scoring. He doesn’t care about how he looks. He just looks to score points and then coast. If Rigo took chances, he probably would’ve won. It was there the way he made Casimero miss so much.

It’s like Rigo said after the bout. That’s his style and that’s how he boxes. That’s what he knows and he goes with what he has. I personally just think he didn’t use his skills the way he should’ve. Once he saw Casimero over commit on his sweeping left hook, why not anticipate the move and land his straight left? He tried his lead uppercut a lot, but it didn’t really land.

I think Rigo looked better in what he was able to do, but you need to make some action like Ronnie was telling him.

For me, I felt like it should have been a draw, for the reason that neither guy gave a good performance. The fight ****** for a fan’s perspective. Boxing is a spectators sport, more so than any other sport. Honestly, who wanted to sit down and watch it?

I might be contradicting myself in this post. It was ultimately Rico’s fault he didn’t win.

I remember when Rigo beat Rico Ramos. Rico was literally — no exaggeration — visibly afraid. Yet, Rigondeaux was inexplicably reluctant to let his hands go and put the trembling Ramos out of his misery. The moment Rigo let his hands go even a little bit (the sixth round), Ramos utterly collapsed. Over the course of his career, Rigo has at times been surprisingly aggressive; but, more often than not, head-scratchingly defensive. I could never figure it out myself. Best guess is, Rigondeaux is simply a head case.

rigo got what he deserved.. boring fighter.. this kind of style should be banned from boxing.. he stole money from the fans and giving them this shlt performance.. no way he could win.. i'm sure no one will fight him in the future.. boring and running..

Some good points. Ineffective aggression has never impressed me. Throwing a lot of punches that grab nothing but air don’t count. Unless, of course, your opponent isn’t throwing anything at all. This is a combination you don’t often see. Usually overly-aggressive brawlers miss a lot when paired with superior boxers…but they’re made to pay. Rigo doesn’t normally make his opponents pay. I didn’t see the fight, so I can’t carry on too much, but no one deserves to win a match if they throw no punches. This is supposed to be a combat sport…in theory, at least.

[champion4ever]

there's absolutely no reason not to let his hands go... Casimero over commits on so many punches... it baffles me why Rigo doesn't take advantage of it.. then return to dancing around the ring like Don Flamenco...

It's called the loss of timing and hand to eye coordination. Older fighters tend to lose those skills as they age. They can see the target standing right in front of them but are about a split second too slow in order to pull the trigger.
