Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux: I Don't Think I Have a Long Road Ahead, I'll Continue As Long As I Can

I wish him all the best in his future endeavors but now I think that it may be a good idea if he retires. The longer he fights into his 40s the greater are his chances of getting seriously hurt. He's not like Nonito Donaire who can still hit. All he ever had was great boxing ability, timing accuracy and speed; Which is something that is fading with each passing fight. Lastly, i doubt that he is 41 years old. If anything his actual age his probably closer to 48 or even higher

It will we be a good fight if Rigo doesn't run and engage instead.

He would but he can't hit. He'll get knocked out by standing, trading and exchanging punches with much younger and stronger foes.

I think Rigo did what he was taught And he did it masterfully.
if boxing was more merit-based,
Perhaps he would've gone further.
As it stands,
He'll have Nonito's scalp and not much else.

But what a scalp to have.

Come on Rigo, you legend! His style is what it is, don’t know why some people get so upset about his exploits. You’d think they were investing their lives savings in him - get over yourselves. He’s achieved elite level in his life through what I’m sure was hard work and sacrifice - pretty sure the only elite skill most of those hating on him have managed, is cracking open another beer, bitching about their little lives and constantly finding ways to validate themselves by criticising others.
