      Because you can't win both a faceoff and a fight. Gotta pick one.

        Besides the constant movement and effective countering by Rigo, what helped Rigo was that he is a southpaw that protects his head well. Nonito's power comes from his left hook BUT like I said, it was rarely available due to Rigo being a southpaw, his shoulder rolls then combine it with his movement and countering it made for one long night for Nonito

              Robert Garcia is a world class trainer and probably forgot more about boxing then I will ever learn, but all he was saying was to get busier and throw more than one punch.

              The problem is Rigo is so accurate with his counters and consistently beats you to the punch. It's not as easy as increasing your output and trying to outwork him.

              I just think they under prepared for this fight and had no answers for what Rico brought to the table.

                nonito had a bruised calf muscle which prevented him from throwing punches

                  his shoulder was messed up.

                  robert garcia told him it was a close fight, not to worry.

                  it was too cold in the arena.

                  baby mama drama behind the scenes.

                  didn't have a tv during camp to watch tapes on rigondeaux.

                  nonito had clitoris gloves on.

                  wrong pair of boots/socks.

                  robbery; watch it in slow-mo, he won.

                  rigondeaux didn't stay still.
