I can't get my head around why people call certain fights of his boring but last night and I am a mega fan of this guy but that was pathetic.
And its not just Rigo its these opponents, its the sport.
A 3 weight world champion that hasn't a jab or any real faint variety, has no head movement, can't cut a ring off, his gloves are down by his boll0cks for 95% of the 12 rounds, throws the same combination every single time. I don't care if you're Bert Sugar you ain't telling me that ain't one sorry ass excuse for a boxer. This era on the whole is terrible.
Then you have Rigo - You know they're going to rob you if its not convincing so what do you do? You literally run non stop, probing and throwing like 2 punches a round.
You're taking the term just doing enough to another level by literally looking to land one more punch than him to take the round.
The frustrating part is you have a punchbag in there with you.
You're rolling under the left hook, pivoting off you've now created the angle to throw instead you just backpedal across to the other side of the ring. You've got a sitting duck who has practically swung himself into the ropes, he is not defending himself. Hit the bast4rd!
Plant your feet and throw a couple more punches a round at least, is that really asking too much? I don't think at any point he even put two punches together. It was all single shots.
I have no idea why there are so many Floyd comparisons. Floyd might have coasted the odd round here and there but he never fought that gutless in any fight.
There has probably never been anyone ever aged 40 to maintain their legs, their speed, reflexes etc like that like what a waste.
One of the best pure boxers I have ever seen but there is something very wrong mentally. I don't believe he can't pull the trigger he just tried to steal that by taking zero risks. It was like the worlds most drawn out game of tag than a boxing match. Like you just ****ing invented a new sport with that ****. Ultimate tag championship sponsored by Nyquill. I'm sure every insomniac will buy a ticket.
