    you cant really force yourself to throw more punches if youve never done it before. a lot of the time you watch fights and see a guy landing at will and think 'why doesnt he just throw more?!', but in reality if he was throwing more not only would he not be landing at such a high percentage, but hed also be getting hit more.

    I saw it in Rigondeux's second or something fight against a bum, he simply didnt know how to fight offensively...his whole game was countering. He may be very good at that, but a quality fighter that understands that and has the tools to either force him to lead or smother him in close would essentially take him to school.
    Those are good points, but at the same time Rigo has incredible athletic abilities that should be able to bail him out against those opponents who are tough for him.

    In hindsight maybe leaving freddie roach was indeed a bad decision.

      Ill say this: he obviously has potential. anyone with his kind of amateur qualifications and physical prowess does.

      I could be wrong about this, but I sense an arrogance in his style. as in his style is already perfect, and theres no reason for him to change it. that he can get away with simply being faster.

      I dont think he will ever capitalize on his potential. itll just be a great amateur that simply passed through the professionals.
