    garcia would have 20 lbs on him on fight night. he'd be way too much. he can't even make 126 any more, so the fight would be @ 130.

    mikey will finish his career at 135-140 lbs.

      Exactly, even when Donaire started backing up because of his eye in the 12th round, Rigondeaux smelled blood and went after him.

      It's not killer instinct that he lacks, it's willingness to make things happen instead of waiting for an opportunity.

        He's neutralized a bit against other boxers who fight at a distance, not against the punchingbag Agbeko we saw last night. Absolutely nothing like what happened last night would have happened if JMM had fought Agbeko. JMM would created his own action had Agbeko shelled up against him and bring out the real Agebeko we know we love out.

        If you make normally exciting fighters boring, you have to evaluate your style. You can't expect opponents of yours to fight in a way that makes it easy for you to look good and then blame the rest of the world when HBO doesn't want to air your fights again.

          Rigo has a solid beard and has been dropped 2 times in his whole life. Cardoba scored a flash KD and Donaire literally cheated his way to land a solid hook on Rigo and Rigo fell got back up and wasn't wobbled or hurt and continued to whoop Nonito ass.

          Time to put the Rigondeaux has no chin myth to bed
          Not really. Rigo was the one who clinched. And yes, Rigo deserves credit for getting up immediately.

            What TR needs to do is better match making for rigo. You can't pit a pure boxer vs rigo. It would make for a very uneventful fight. U need to pit rigo against an all action come forward puncher who's gonna fight till he gets knocked out or knocks you out. It will force rigo to be more aggressive.

              That's what Agbeko was supposed to be. If he can't make entertaining fight with Agbeko, it's not going to happen with anyone else, regardless of which fighter is to blame.

                Sometimes being a powerful and dangerous guy in boxing is a bad thing as Nonito Donaire has noticed in several recent fight much like Manny Pacquiao ... opponents tend to think more defensively and are scared to open up and casual fans tend to just imply they lack killer instinct or lost their power

                  Rigo has a lot of amateurs fights. His mind set is stuck in scoring cleaning and not getting hit. Lara does the same thing and Gamboa does it at times.

                  These guys control the space they fight in and their accurate counterpunching slows down the pace.

                  The only way to fight these guys is to disrupt the space they are comfortable in which is not an easy task.

                    Hurt ass *****es.

                    Rigo lacks those 3 things.

                    People implyingng with their comments that Rigo fought the way he did because his opponent went on survival mode.

                    He would have fought the same way had Agbeko been throwing more. It's just who he is.

                    Someone said it , what about a right hook to the head around Agbekos defense? You know , in the inside. I remember Pac doing that against Agbeko , I mean Clottey lol. Since people are saying he turned Clottey.

                    Pac tried to get Clottey out of his shell.

                    Rigo couldn't have been happier that Agbeko was being completely outclassed and overwhelmed.

                    No hooks around Agbekos defense to the body either , again n the inside.

                    Common people , don't tell me Rigo can't do those things. If it's not because he lacks it and plays it too safe then why?
