I thought Rigo got blinded by some explosion or something?

Surely he wouldn’t get sanctioned by a lot of commissions.

For what? It's over. Avoided and black listed in his prime, for beating Nonito Donaire. WBA had a big hand to play in that. Considering there was no defense from Arum (they were big mad) for him winning that fight. The WBA and Haymon were so happy to have Leo avoid an embarrassing defeat and still get a belt. Same for Frampton. Rigo then mixed with promoters and managers who had little to no power to elevate him.

Big black eye for Frampton for avoiding the fight especially when they both had the same nickname

Glad to see Loma's son coming back to boxing, good luck!

Actually, Arum is underrated in how much he did for Rigo. First, he got him the second biggest payday of his life against Donaire and then later on he got him the biggest payday of his life against Loma after Rigo trashed Loma on social media. Those two fights made Rigo more money than he had earned in all his combined fights. Rigo had a pretty good career although I think if he had been a bit more aggressive with a touch of Whitaker to his game, I think he would have earned more. He could have used his power more. But it was sad to see how he was burned by fire. Thankfully his eyes didn't get torched and leave him blind for life.

It's a shame he's got no killer instinct. He's a skilled defensive fighter, and unlike some other defensive fighters, his comes from technique, not youthful reflexes and speed or genetic talents for distance estimation. If he had more offensive output, he maybe could have made more for himself. I suspect, even with wins, it's still going to be "too little, too late" as the story of his career.
