Comments Thread For: R. Mayweather: Agbeko Did Not Try, Took No Chances

[Tom Cruise]

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.

Ive never seen a fighter make his opponents, current and former champions of the world, look so timid so quickly.

Its the power and accuracy mixed in with his constant poise. You KNOW if you are fighting Rigo he's waiting for you to **** up, you know he has the power to hurt you when you do, AND you know theres little chance of you even landing if you take the risk. The answer, stop throwing.

I know lots dont but i find it incredible to watch how he shuts these guys down.

Agbeko had just lost 4 of his last 6 bouts (now 5)coming into the Rigo fight! He had one fight in 2013 and in 2012 NONE! His record prior to 2004 is filled with "debut" guys and is a terrible resume! When he did step up in 2004 he was beaten. He made a decent showing in the first Mares bout but honestly this guys done very little to nothing! He beat Vic in a close fight and thats when Vic seemed to loose interest but he did beat him.
So a decent win over Vic then a decent loss to Mares and he's "sliced bread"?
This was going to be his third fight in three years and he wasn't going to the ER!
Personally he should have been fined for "lack of effort" and no promotion should use him again. Ray.

Maybe Roger like his brother should work on giving credit to the other camp instead of throwing his own fighter under the bus whenever it suits him. Rigo was a chess master in there.

Take more risks? Did those words just come from a mayweather? Lol.

Is it just me? or did Roger look completely uninterested in the fight...

Where's the fighter in him, the thing that was there before the technique was taught. Agbeko used to have some hard bark on him, I kept hoping he would say '**** it' and throw caution to the wind.

You might get knocked out but this is boxing indeed like Roger said but Agbeko was there to survive after he felt those body shots and uppercuts a guy who gave a whooping to Mares and beat Vic look so pathetic that was a shock to me I was mad as fk .

I do too and i dont blame them

Usually when a boxer its fighting he looks for openings or at least to catch their opponent off balance or make them a little uncomfortable.

But rigo has such perfect balance and footwork, and is so fast and accurate with his punches that the opponent never knows when to attack.

Incredible to watch for a hardcore boxing fan, but i understand why most ppl dont get into it.

I don't have a problem with what Roger said, it was the truth but all credit goes to Rigo. The guy really needs some publicity.
