Comments Thread For: Video: Joseph Agbeko on The Loss To Rigondeaux

[RiC-DiC]

That's what gets me. People would never do that themselves, yet they demand that someone else do it.

Paying customers don't have to do **** except tune in or buy PPV. Most viewers watch boxing for entertainment purposes. Very few people actually appreciate half an hour of Rigondeaux's footwork.

Now, don't get me wrong, this is the "hurting business," but I don't see anything wrong with simply outclassing someone if you've got the skills.

This is business. Like sexy women; action packed KO's sell.

Rigo is laughing on his way to the bank, and so would I if I were him.

How much money has Rigondeaux made?

[MODAPHUKA]

Are you serious? Rigo took a couple of hard shots from Marroquin in their fight, and he catches lesser punches often enough. And who says Guille can't be more aggressive? The question isn't whether Rigo can be more aggressive. The question is whether he truly has to be. The answer to that question is no, not if he doesn't want to. He wins anyway.

He doesn't have to be more aggressive to win fights. I know that. Rigo has the smart and skills to put more entertaining stuff together without risking anything. Thats how good he is.

Please if you can , watch the 6th round of the fight again and listen carefully to the commentating.

Its not his style , I get it. He doesn't have to do it. But I refuse to believe that a guy so smart and skilled in the ring cant do it effectively. All I'm saying. Nobody can tell me otherwise. Cubans are acting like they wouldn't like to see it happen. They are being too defensive with him like they need to take care of him or something.

Im pretty sure you would appreciate it as equal , maybe more if Rigo walked in there and outboxed his opponents for a few rounds the way he does. And then goes HAM in there and stops them in their tracks. He is absolutely 100% capable of doing it with his talent and smarts. And dont tell me he isnt skilled enough to do it.

Its not his style. Plain and simple.

Tell me , dont you think he is capable of doing it? Would you be disappointed if he did it.

Thats the point I;m trying to make. Ward seems to agree with me. Ill take that.

I'm seriously butt hurt over tha tapia loss. Man the dude believed in himself and Kirkland ****ed him up bad. Tapias corner sucks.

Yeah his trainer was yelling at him telling tapia what to say to the doctor , wtf.

Customers don't have to pay, and Rigo can do whatever he wants. If customers stop paying, maybe Guille will change his ways. Let's see how this all pans out.

I have said as much.

I don't know, but Rigo got paid 750k to fight Donaire. It's an unheard-of amount for a guy in a small division, with (then) eleven pro fights, no fanbase and a "boring" style.

Agbeko was afraid to open up at all, he knew what would happen.

Where do you get the idea that Cubans don't want Rigo to be more exciting? lol I would love for Guille to tear through guys, as I have seen him do. But, by the same token, I'll defend his right to fight as he sees fit. You, I, and everyone else, has a choice to stop watching him. Those people in the audience did just that. Will you? I'm not.

Wilfredo Benitez was known for his amazing defensive prowess. Hence his nickname, "El Radar." Do you know what's become of him? The poor man has a couple of marbles rolling around in his head from the blows he took as a fighter. He was all but forgotten until fairly recently, when a few Puerto Rican boxers got together and collected some money for him. I'll bet that if Wilfredo had a crystal ball way-back-when, he wouldn't have been so concerned about "entertaining."

[Pimp-Hand]

As long as Rigo stays off ppv, i'll continue to watch him.

You can't be serious making that comparison.

I would have never asked from Benitez to do more. The talent gap between him and his opponents wasn't as big as in Rigo's case. He wasn't afraid to engage. He fought inside and he wasn't scared to get hit.

That's not what I think Rigo can do. Not asking for him to "risk".

He is all ****ed up now because of the way he fought. I'm not asking that from Rigo.

I'm done entertaining this topic. It's frustrating. Something so simple to understand and I swear Rigo's fans defensive mechanism is better than his defense.

Rigo will keep fighting his way and he doesn't give a **** if I think he could be flooring people with very little effort.

Look at me praising Rigo thinking he is that good and his loyal fans saying he is not.

Even the usual haters had **** on Agbeko for turning into Clottey 4 fking punches per round!!!! even Hbo was was disgusted with Agbeko and impressed with Rigondeaux the only thing this guy lacks is anybody at his level or even someone with the ballz to make an entertaining fight they all loosing their ballz lately when he hits them flush. Regardless of your nitpicking of the guy you have to bow to his skill and admit nobody in his weight or around holds a candle to him or has a chance in fking hell of winning that is what i call dominant.

[DannYankee]

What I said. A frustrated fighter who knew he couldn't rush in. No surprise the "record setting fighter for throwing punches didn't throw more". He said it.

Took his soul?? Please Surprised Agbeko himself wasn't yawning.

The guy said himself he was strong even inside i had to be careful or i would get caught and dropped either your ears have a filter or you didnt catch that part if thats not a guy who got scared of power idk what is he was even scared of being inside and Rigo doesnt even work inside that much but to the body and the upper just those two things stole this mans soul.
