If you think Rigo is boring you should blame his opponents

    I;m a huge Rigo fan, but lets not lie to ourselves. Rigo creates the high risk, low reward situation his opponents face everytime they think about throwing a punch at him. He's the best in the sport at doing it imo. We cant blame his opponents for doing what he wants them to do and not having the skill to do anything about it

    Some (most ) find it boring, we don't.

      It really has nothing to do with nut hugging a fighter as much as it has to do with appreciating a good tactical fight. Especially when you understand how they are trying to manipulate each other into position, and trying to draw feints, the constant battle for foot position.

      Rigo vs Donaire is one of the most beautiful tactical matches I have ever seen.

      Rigo vs Agbeko was hideously boring, but that was Agbeko's fault for pulling a Clottey.

        I won't deny his talent, that would be ******, but he is really good and i don't understand why in his last fight against an opponent that he clearly surpassed he didn't go for the KO

          How is it not boring if you see Rigo not attacking but always waiting for a chance to counter. He gets the points because he is a quick counter puncher and wins on points, but that's all he is.

          His last 3 fights were decisions and he only has 13 pro fights, he needs to grow up and learn what fans look for in a fight. For sure he does not fight like Tyson or Ali, so he is boring. How old are you BTW, maybe you need to grow up too.

            "Nut hug"? Now you're just talking shit. In fact, you've been talking shit this whole time. I don't nut hug anyone, and you know it. I'm a Rigo fan, but I've always been about as realistic as you can expect a fan of any fighter to be. You seem to think that incessant criticism somehow equals objectivity. Give it a break.
