If you think Rigo is boring you should blame his opponents

The most recent system watered down the sport to the point of "fencing with gloves." The Cubans developed a very successful style for the system. It didn't matter that it made for a bad transition to the pros, because the Cubans couldn't go pro anyway. Now that we're getting back to the old ways, you'll probably see a more professional crop of Cubans down the road.

Rigo needs to understand that if you want to be an A-side and make A-side money its your responsibility to sell the tickets, sell yourself and entertain the crowd.
If you want to just be a great champion, you can still have a hall of fame career but your earning power will never match your level of success in the ring.

guy has 12 fights and has 3 of the most boring fights i have ever witnessed in rigo vs addey, rigo vs cardoba and rigo vs agbeko
he's good, no doubt, but how anyone can say he isn't boring as sht beyond me
it can't always be up to the opponent to make the fight, why should the opponents have to chase him like mares-moreno or angulo-lara
if you're slower than the guy dont even bother signing to fight him, because he's only gonna take backsteps and nothing more
rigo is good, but no one should be suprised that he can't draw a crowd, it's his fault, no one elses

Again, the guy is a lightning rod for everything. Its lame.

Originally posted by CubanGuyNYC View PostNot to disagree with the rest of your post, but Rigo's the champion now. If a challenger wants the belt, he has to take it. It can't be argued that Agbeko really tried. And when Guillermo won the belt, it's not like he hung back. He even had poor Nonito running for his life in the final stanza. All I'm trying to say is that there really are two sides to this story.

Originally posted by Russian Crushin View PostThe Donaire fight was also horribly boring. The fact that Rigo took a step forward for 1 min in the 12th doesnt take away the fact that the first 35 mins consisted of both guys looking to counter and barely throwing. To say he didnt hang back is ridiculous
