Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux Furious: Says He Was Ignored in San Antonio

[MTN]

A coward? If you claim you are the best, you need to fight the best regardless of the risk, he will get pay no matter what, after all he is the "Star"...

Donaire does want to fight the best. Thats why he called out Nishioka.

Rigo nobody cares about u.Nobody was there for u.

Seven pages and counting.

you guys are up in arms because of an overeaction to a kayo of rico ramos, one of the softest paper champions in the history of the sport


he got hit hard and wanted to go home


donaire would look equally, if not much more spectacular against such an opponent

[sd southpaw]

Oh he felt it last night, he was buzzed by a few right hands and a couple of good jabs, the thing is that Rigondeaux hits much, much harder than Vazquez, with both hands, has a much, much better technique, is much, much faster, and have a well of experience...

yo G donaire was never buzzed in that fight, your getting a lil cared away now. rigo is a talent he just need to fight better fighters, and calling donaire a coward in one of your post is way out of line homie

Rigondeaux should shrink into a mini-flyweight fighter or suffer some devastating lose before Arum throws Donaire against him.

before i get started on my rant here i'm not trying to take a particular stance but there's a heck of a lot of bull being written by people who have no actual knowledge about what they're writing about.

he chose money over his family.Winners of gold medals have good
lifes in cuba.But he only thought of himself,Now his family has to
pay for his greed.

bit more complex than that, he'd reached the top of the tree in cuba, in amateur boxing. what was he to do- go and win another olympic gold? been there done that. twice.
he saw a lot of these professionals, most of whom couldn't come close to standing with him yet they get the accolades and are considered the best in the world.
he just wanted to go out and claim what was his in terms of honours and sure cash too.
but then of course there's the family issue. pretty big issue it is too. not an easy choice and one i know he hasn't dealt with easily. some of his family have disowned him and he has no contact with them.

It's so sad tho cuz he had to leave his life and family and be treated like a trader for this bs that's why I will always support rigo

yes, people talk about cuba being unfair to its athletes. well what the **** is this if not unfair?
at least in cuba the best get their recognition AND get to fight the best in their field- no ducking in the olympics- in the rest of the world it's whoever bob ****in arum et al decide is most promotable. who's treatin who like crap?

That's bullshlt man one of Cubas greatest fighters (forget his name ) was giving a house and car after he won gold but that's it they forget about you the guy now lives in a slum and the cars doesn't work anymore your ******ed if you think they have good life's

so what, you're suggesting that they took away his house and car?
they don't do repossessions in cuba, unless something pretty drastic has gone on. during the beginning of the economic crisis i had to explain to cuban friends what having a house repossessed means, most of them didn't believe me that it could be legal.

Naw man you have got this all wrong type in the boys who fought for Castro in YouTube

that guy had screwed up what he got. they don't get a vast amount materially at all though they do fine enough. they do get a lot socially though and in a socialist system which takes precedence? hint- in a capitalist system it's the reverse.
and why is he pushing his son to go the same route if he got screwed over?!

Look up that movie about Cuban boxers it's called castros soulder and see what happens to great fighters in Cuba

what film is this exactly?

Rigondeaux has been spoiled if anything. Who in boxing gets a title shot after 8 fights? That type of stuff only happens in MMA.

there was the case of leon spinks in his 8th bout up against a little known champion named muhammad ali. can't remember if that was an mma bout of the top of my head...

Rigondeaux is a great boxer but Im tired of all the people massaging his balls after he beat a mental midget, B class fighter. Would Rigondeaux pose a big challenge to Donaire? No doubt.

But as of right now he only has 9 fights. Its hard to market a fight against the guy when NOBODY knows who he is. He needs to stop whining and start padding his record.

People say Nonito is ducking for calling out Nishioka? Does that even make sense? How can you be ducking someone when he is calling out the BEST guy in the division?

The quantity of fights doesn't matter, Canelo and Jr has close to 100 fights between them and fought nobody, quality is what it counts and Rigondeaux has to spare, he doesn't need 50 fights and coward behind his promoter, he is willing like his countryman Lara and Gamboa to fight the best, didn't Lara fought a guy like Williams with only 15 fights? And now everyone is running scared, praise him for be willing to challenge himself and fight supposedly the best...

He will not fight Nishioka, stop dreaming...

I agree with this unfortunately.

Why do u wanna call me names?Thats not nice,I dont wanna call u
names.

I didn't call you anything, did I? I understand that you might be just a kid, because any adult that knows a little about our hemisphere will know what's going on in Cuba...
