    It did not surprise me one bit seeing Agbeko extra cautious anf completely lost in the ring. He wasnt fighting Abner Mares in there. The guy actually moves and hits as hard as a mule.
    Yeah, Agbeko was inactive, not "shot."

        Prior to the fight not one person claimed Agbeko was shot. Now all of the sudden he is.

        I never thought Agbeko was all that, just that he was the best opponent that happened to throw his hat into the ring. He's a good fighter, but he was inactive. And you're right, no one even brought that up until after the fight.

          DLH wasn't drained when he fought Floyd.

            His second-to-last fight was almost exactly two years ago, versus Mares. He fought Luis Melendez (36-9) almost nine months ago. I'd call that fairly inactive.

              In the division he started in....

              I think at some point the comparisons have to end, both have been equally dominant so far but Floyd is far more versatile, lets be realistic here.

                Agbeko did look out if sorts in there. I'm sure part of it was Rigo but part of it was clearly his inactivity. Either way it was a decent win and the best fight that could be made. Not sure what the complaining is for. I'm more interested in who's "Necks!"

                  Agbeko's a solid win, I thought he pose more issues than he did.

                  The way Rigondeaux completely dominated every second of every round was definitely impressive.

                  That said, there's some who are overrating the win. Whilst others are underrating it.

                  It's a solid win against a good fighter who's a little passed his best.

                    What we should be thinking about is who the fk can we put in there with Rigo that wont turn into an embarrassment to boxing after they get hit. I mean i was rooting for Rigo but by round 7 i was screaming at Agbeko "THROW PUNCHES HIT THAT MUDA***AHH!!!!"

                      Yea they are two totally different fighters. Both are master boxers but that's where it ends. Floyd has so much more nuance and polish to his pro game. Not a knock but a true statement
