Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux: I'm Just Standing Around, Time is Passing By

[torosboxing75]

8 out of his 12 fights have ended in a KO; but when he totally whitewash the posterboy for hypejobs now he's boring cause Nonito wouldn't engage.

Pretty much this^^^^^^^^ does anybody know his KO% ?
Isn't that like 75% that's not bad at all. I guess Nonito felt that power and it made him hesitant to engage.

Rigo is the man. I wish he has the chance to fight Mares and Santa Cruz so he can show the world what Boxing is. Arum is ****** can't wait till that old man leaves Boxing, viejo sapingo!

I remember all the threads about Donaire stopping Rigo in 3 rounds haha all the Donaire,Top Rank and Arum fanboys are still mad that the little quiet Cuban guy derailed Donaire's greatness

Im not a Nonito fan and I fully agree with you that he schooled Nonito. But he did nothing in that fight that got me excited about watching any of his future fights. In fact he made me so bored in that fight that I swore I would never watch him fight ever again. I mean it that ***er is so boring that I don't care if he's number 1 PFP I will never watch him fight ever again.

WTF are you talking about? Name one opponent Rigo KO'ed that wasn't a ***ing stiff!!! Ever since he stepped up in compatition he's been twice as defensive in the ring and hasn't knocked out anybody.

Bob can make it happen for Rigo and is not doing it. He has had worst fighters that he has promoted and marketed.

I hope Rigo takes him to court.

You cant headline and carry shows with that kind of fighting style. Add the fact that he's not american and cant speak english and fights in the lower weights where you have to do something spectacular to get noticed...

he's gonna have the same problems with whomever he signs with.

I hear what your saying and its all true...

Signing with GBP would give him plenty of fellow Latinos to fight and they put anyone on TV...which I think is really cool

He's on "standby" to age enough for Nonito to have a chance in a rematch. Arum still upset Rigo didn't do a Clottey against Pacquiao. Nonito tried as best as he could to duck Rigo but his reputation was on the line. He had to take knowing fully well he couldn't beat Rigo. The gameplan was come in heavy and try to get the knockout which was the only way to victory. Arum mad at Rigo for ruining Donaire's star climb.

[New England]

that's what these promotors want. poor guy.

[ShoulderRoll]

I wonder if Arum is sitting him so that he will feel pressure to either lower his asking price per fight or to renegotiate his contract with TR for a few more years.

I'm sure that Bob doesn't want to put in the work to promote Rigo, have him win his next two bouts, then leave the company on a high note. All so that some other promoter can then scoop him up and reap any benefits.

[KingTito]

What's been happening with Rigo is pretty sad. Why this guys isn't getting a fight is beyond me. He needs to dump TR. I understand he has a contract though.

This vato needs to change his name from "el chacal" to "el Chillon". Fight to finish off your opponent and people might like watching you. "Fans of the sport" don't pay the big bucks, the casual fans do. They want to see action, not chess.
