Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux: I Have These God-Given Skills, This is The Way I Display Them

[Ryannn]

I'd argue the bold part.

I don't think he didn't choose to. Casemiro just didn't allow him to.

Made Rigondeaux get very uncomfortable, like Lomachenko did. But where Lomachenko overwhelmed him with pure skill. Casemiro did a Maidana on him and just made it too risky for a precision guy like Rigondeaux to be willing to sit and trade.

Rigondeaux got taken out of his element by Casemiro and got cold feet because of it. In my opinion.

There were spots where he could have countered Casimero risk free.

If Rigo is half as good as his fans claim him to be, he should have capitalized on those chances. He would have put on a clinic.

Maybe Casimero hurting him contributed to Rigo's apprehension but let's not pretend that it's the only reason for it. Rigo has always fought this way.

If he had blended last night with how he fought the in the Ceja fight, he would get respect and maybe the win. But his promoter and management need to drop him because that display last night was ridiculous. Running for dear life is not a skill or talent. He is lucky he got those two huge paydays against Donaire and Loma, especially the last one after Arum dumped him. Casamayor and Mayweather clearly do not run, Rigo runs.

Thats not true talent of the highest level, true talent is a guy who can stand right in front of you, turn, and make you miss like Pernell Whitaker and nail you with counters.

I expected Casimero to fight with nonstop pressure until Rigo quit. The moment he tasted his power, Rigo became a pussy. The ref failed us too. Some refs wouldn't tolerate non-engagement, they will either force you to fight, or disqualify you. Refs will be put on notice for that kinda BS from now on.

Rigo's boxing license should be canceled.

Agreed. Or a guy like Gervonta Davis who tries to flatten you ASAP.

About as silly as drug lords saying god gave them their life. God does not care about boxing. He did not give you anything boxing related.

[Tatabanya]

Rigondeaux just doesn't care about audiences. Bad for him.

Casimero will be forgotten after he gets destroyed by Inoue, if they ever fight.

[damned1974]

His "god given" skill is to be able to put an audience to sleep while not throwing a single punch at his opponent.

Rigo, probably: "God gave me these legs, I'm going to use them!"

Thank you.
