He has no killer instincts. He has no inside game. He has no chin. It's a product of the Cuban system.
That's why he doesn't go for the kill , that's why he will rather stay outside and not break down his opponent. And don't give me that , "Agbeko is a tough fighter , he would've never gotten stopped" You don't have to be a warrior either. Gamboa is more entertaining in that aspect. When he sees his opponent hurt , he at least tries. Rigo plays it too damn safe.
I know it's a bad comparison if I compare him to Kirkland. But why can't a fighter like Rigo with such offensive arsenal do something like Kirkland did to Tapia. I believe it's a lack of those 3 things. Tapia went on survival mode too. And Kirkland attacked relentlessly , him having a suspect chin also.
Too much pot shot from the outside is only entertaining for so long. Rigo plays it too damn safe.
It's a pattern , it's not only Agbeko. It's different when you are beating the **** out of a fighter like Cotto vs Margarito. That Cotto just doesn't see a possible way out and he took his soul. It's another thing to play it to safe , with such skills that your opponent is left without a chance and just puts his hands up all night searching for answers. I keep seeing , Agbeko didn't even try. Really??
Because all I saw was Agbeko searching for something , knowing his hands needed to be up at all times. Cuz he was going to be pot shotted till the final bell.
Or why else would a fighter with Agbeko's reputation do what he did? Please don't tell me Rigo is not capable of picking his opponents apart with the arsenal he has. He just doesn't have it in him.
