Rigondeaux vs Ramos 'ROUND BY ROUND"

[solo20]

rico needs to find another profession because boxing is not it. still not impressed with rigondeaux would like to see him in a dog fight and see how his chin holds

Shouldn't come as a suprise to anyone. Ramos is nowhere near Rigondeaux's class and only win his title with a lucky punch in the first place!

ramos sucks. he got lucky against shimoda dude just doesnt like to get hit not that any one does but he exagerates

Well, ok. If you can call training for your whole life, becoming a good pro after fighting for many years as an amateur, winning all your pro fights, getting to the position of top contender, getting a title shot, then using the years, months, days and countless hours spent training to get to that position and that fight and then training for that exact fight and opponent to land the punches that knock him out, then yes, sure, he's lucky.

Maybe every fighter who lands a punch in boxing that hurts or knocks his opponent out is lucky though?

Good -- but not great -- victory by Rigondeaux. He started the fight the right way by taking it to Ramos, but let up and went into "zzzz" mode. Thankfully, "El Chacal" got back on track before I fell asleep.

I really didn't like that moment when Guillermo held Rico's head and punched it, but Ramos played it up. I think Rico was wishing for the fight to be over by then; he just seemed like he didn't want to be there, especially after the first round's events.

Rigo has power, and the skills to go with it, but he needs to abandon that counter-punching style against a fellow counter-puncher! My hat's off to those who predicted a Rigo KO via liver shot!

Viva Guillermo Rigondeaux! Viva los Cubanos!

He's so undersized that I do worry about his chin. But who is going to be able to touch it? It's a shame that the clock is already ticking on the guy, with him being 31. Donaire is the only good fight I can see for him at 122.

Great post, Benny. Much respect to Rico Ramos and all who have the balls to step into the ring...especially those who've scaled the mountain and earned the right to be called "champion"!

There are weak champions and strong champions. Rico was clearly weak, but a champion nonetheless. He deserves respect for that. I'll speak for myself: I've been good at many things in my life, but never a champion at anything. My hat's off to Rico Ramos, "fifteen minutes" and all.
