The sad part of Rigo winning

[SkillspayBills]

The only rounds I genuinly feel were "boring" were like 7-9. Those rounds neither fighter threw much. However, all the other rounds, although not action packed had every landed be a NUCLEAR BOMB. Which made it fun to watch.

What the **** were yall watching.......for real....

How was that fight boring?

Have you not watched boxing recently?

There were bombs, knockdowns, slips, boxing......this fight literally had everything...

Rigo is a pro.....a real PRO! Why would he go in trading bombs for no reason? This is boxing not fighting...The man has the discipline to hold back when instinct says go ****.

But than again......I'm a Klitschko fan so WTF do I know right??...

i don't care how much you like boxing, if you're in the back row of a rigo fight it's not a great spectator sport. you can't appreciate what he does from the back row, especially considering his size. you can appreciate a HW throwing huge punches from any seat in the house.

I don't care how much the casual fan or the uneducated brawl lovers don't like Rigo winning, that performance was some of the best I've ever seen and I loved all 12 rounds of it. And I'm going to watch it like 5 more times this week, maybe more.

You must be great fun at parties.

I thought the fight was great, boxing 101, watched it 3 times already.


Anyways, in regards to casual fans, well it's not always how "exciting" they are inside the ring, it's how the fight is promoted. He's got a great life story and if he learns to speak some English he could increase his marketability. I think he'd be a big draw in Florida.

And for this exact reason is why I hate casual fans. If you can't appreciate boxing skill, ring generalship, control of distance etc. then maybe you'd be better of watching Brock Lesner and some other douche stand in front of each other and beat the living **** out of each other for 10 minutes

Why thanks brother!!

I hate the pretentiousness of boxing fans. Rigo is obviously a great fighter, but it was just a boring fight to watch for most. That doesn't make anyone less of a boxing fan because they weren't entertained by it.

Sickening isnt it? Its also funny because its like these arseholes think its cool to be a freakin anorak!! The sickening bit is how disingenuous it is because it seems to be that most of these nobbers, and my god there has been tons since last night, are just talking complete bollocks....the kind of crap that threw up the mythical(non-existent) creature that is the 'pure boxer' and P4P as an actual title rather than its genuine meaning as a hypothetical concept!

I don't care if he sells or not. He has set his legacy and put on a great performance while representing Cuban boxing along with a Cuban trainer.

Not putting down Rigo but if you say that his legacy is set by beating Donaire, then its a short history on legacy.

Rigondo is gonna have to move up in weight to find someone that can give him a hard time
