Comments Thread For: Casimero's Promoter: Rigondeaux Fight Most Embarrassing I've Seen In My 35 Years In Boxing

I'm puerto rican but i somehow felt second hand embarrassment. I didn't think it was possible to feel embarassed for cubans. I am now.

"So, how many steps did Guillermo Rigondeaux actually take in his 12 round escape act?

According to thorough analysis by our proprietary CompuWalk technology, Bad Left Hook clocked Rigo as having taken 5,818 steps between the opening and closing bells."

It's also embarrassing that Casimore rehydrated up over 140 lbs even though he's a freaking fighting at 118 pounds that was dangerous and of course pbc don't have fight night weight graphic.

This was absolutely not a fight to show anyone how good boxing is to watch. Not even as an educational view.

There are so many masterful performances you can show someone to get them to see what the sweet science is. This is not one, it was awful.

And the fighters I like are called boring. I have fought off so many fans who only want to see two cavemen swinging a club at eachother. But this was just awful. No fan, even elitist fans who think they know more than boxers, coaches, and promoters, can say this was a good performance. This was terrible for boxing.

Thank god we had Ortiz vs Kavaliouskas.

We didn't need Rigondeaux to show Casimero's level. The guy has been given an inordinate amount of credit for the Zolani Tete win, but Tete himself was overrated to begin with.

Casimero will be exposed once and for all if he fights Donaire or, worse yet, Inoue.

To be honest he got exposed last weekend. Kid really looked way out of his league

I don't know why people are blaming Casimero for not cutting off the ring. He did and tried. But Rigo was just crafty at getting out of traps. Would other tactical traps have worked? Absolutely. But Rigo is a crafty and experienced, non-engaging fighter. You cannot ask Casimero to be like Lomachenko.

I really like Rigo. When he moved forward and initiated offense, he looked like a different level fighter. But it was so few and far in between. If he can put it together offensively, it would be absolutely hard to beat this man. But the game is make em miss, then make em pay. He made Casimero miss, but neglect to make him pay for mistakes.He is at fault here as much as Casimero.

LA, do some research before making that statement on Sean Gibbons, Casimero’s bum promoter. Not only was he a professional boxer, but dude put in his work hard in the mid US. He might make some crazy a$$ statements, but he knows a helluva lot more than you obviously

naw bro he’s a bum. Micheal koncz level pacquaio hanger-on”er.He was a bum as a fighter 14-7 basically club level who fought “exciting” fights meaning either he got KOd or KOd his opponent. That’s all good if I wanna watch bum fights or backyard brawls or something which is where casimero belonged on Saturday night lol. Casimero and gibbons both have diarrhea of the mouth that can’t be denied also casimero is a dirty fighter

Cuban boxers are boring they've no place in probox only in amateur ranks.
