    It is a shame. Instead of building a card around him they should put him on an under card of the PAC v rios fight. Put on anothr brilliant display and then go to epix. Or arum tells hbo they have ti take him. Hbo needs TR as much as Top Rank needs hbo.otherwise HBO will be limited 2 Golovkin and Sergio Martinezand no one else

      My point is you rather watch and root for a punching bag over an elite boxer while I rather watch and enjoy excellence!! So I guess there's more fans like you and less like me which is pretty sad

          rigondeaux beat "norigo ducknaire " and this was supposed to be the next "pac fraud ". this win by my man hurt arum and hbo . that is it . after rigo hit ducknaire in the first round , the funny didnt want to trhow more punches in the fight as he was being countered with ease . why isnt ducknaire critizized for not trhowing ? was he not the "fighter of the year"?
          rigo is the best 122 in the world , a master piece , a legend .
          if you know boxing , you have to watch him , is all about hitting and not getting hit back.
          but if you want rigo tkoing people , then make fights with real batamweights , as he is and you will see it . remember ducknaire weighed 142 fight night . rigo 125 .
          aske willie cassey , kennedy , rico ramos , they were all destroyed . start matching rigo right and fair , and he will tko , if that what you want to see .
          my man , the beat , the olimpic , the pro .

            Dude should of learnt, he was in ams

            Still a ring-god-deaux
            Wouldn't matter. Look at guys like ward n Bradley they are american and know English but they don't act like Floyd or Broner so they don't get the same buzz.

              Stop lying. Here are the punch stats :




              Floyd threw more and landed more total punches and power punches, and landed at a higher percentage. Despite the fact that he broke his hand and had to stink it out in the last 3 rounds.

                Watching Rigondeaux box is like watching a pitcher pitch a perfect game in baseball. It really is a shame that fighters like him don't get more credit.

                  No you're just a cuban ****head who'll ride any cuban **** they put in front off.

                  Excellence the guy just beat one guy worth mentioning and has been put on his ass by tomato cans and you are comparing him to a future hall of famer who has consitently fought the top P4P fighters in the world. Lol, delusional much.

                  Here is hoping to see is you can ever watch him fight again in front of a tv.

                      Sad comments. Looks like hbo is gonna give spots to average fighters with power and put them in with stand still opponents so they get a ko. That is really gonna be great (sarcasm). They will just match guys like manny,nonito and ggg against the same kind of garbage 2-4 times a year. The fight quality is going to stink but hey you wil get a ko finish. This is what real fans want?

                      The #1 boxing network is essentially rejecting boxing/boxers to show a better version of toughman. It will get ratings but is this really in the best interest of the sport?

                      Funny but the same posters cosiging larry on this had a fit when floyd emphasizes prize fighting and entertainment aspects of boxing.
