one of the most pointless fights i've ever seen on HBO.

Roger was clearly disgusted with Agbeko's "performance," dude brought his Ninja Turtle shell to survive for a paycheck.

It was a disgusting performance. Nice to see his own trainer bash him for that bull****.

Clottey actually threw punches!

Clottey actually threw punches!

Agbeko landed 48 punches last night. That's four per-round. Who would've guessed that going in?

So basically Agbeko fought like his nephew

[-Kev-]

What I saw was Agbeko tried using his usual run-in style in round 1 but Rigondeaux continuously threw that kind of uppercut down the middle and Agbeko felt it and didn't know any other style to use. He saw he could not outbox Rigondeaux, and fighting him would just get him countered to death. and fighting dirty was useless because of that uppercut.

Similar thing happened to Donaire, Riogondeaux and him met in the center of the ring in round 1 and Rigo threw that very fast straight left that backed Donaire up and that kind put Donaire in a state of panic the whole entire fight.

Rigondeaux does something to these fighters in the first round that makes them sh-t their trunks and do nothing for the next 11 rounds.
