Good. Rigondeaux deserves to be back in the mix. I still think he's very dangerous. His last outing didn't go that well, but he was being chased by a real "little steroid man." And technically, Rigo outboxed him.

Can't wait to see Rigo fight again.

Has Astrolabio improved much over the past few years?

Agreed. I see people blame Rigo for his last performance, but what about Casimero? Casimero should’ve tried to adjust and put the effort to try and do something. It showed just how one-dimensional he is.

This is another track event Rigo is the most boring fighter, even the city found would not catch him.

Casimero outboxed Rigo. Played him at his own game. Hard pill to swallow but compubox would concur.

Not even breadman would put up his own hard earned dollars to watch another rigondeaux amateur event.

That's how you score amateur fights, not professional fights. Rigo landed the harder, cleaner shots.

Fights are scored round by round mate.
Rigo did nothing in more than half of the rounds which cost him the fight.

He did the exact thing Loma did against Teofimo.

Not sure what you think the word outbox means. A match isn’t decided on total number of punches landed which in this case was 44 vs. 47 in Casimero’s favour as far as I remember. If that were the case, many boxing matches would have resulted differently and you wouldn’t need judges. Ring generalship is supposed to count too and seeing as Casimero put on one of the worst demonstrations of how to close down your opponent in living memory, that should hardly have counted in his favour either. At one point he nearly fell out of the ring in a desperate lunge. Rigo’s punches were also much cleaner.
