Comments Thread For: Donaire Feels His Speed Will Be Key Against Vetyeka

[panyck]

And how you explain Mayweather case who is defensive and most of his fights that he didn't took risks?. Then he choose aggressive fighters to compensate but Arum is looking for other defensives fighters in order to Rigo look bad as Agbeko was. Caribe promotions said this about agbeko but Arum insisted to make the fight just to screw Rigo.
My hole point is that when a fighter is counterpuncher and defensive usually promoters are able to compensate this as Mayweather has done for several years. In case of Rigo Aum is still upset with Donaire defeat and is doing everything to make look bad Rigo. Whenever Rigo had a offensive fighter he has knocked, but based always is his counterpuncher style.

Mayweather is a special case. He is a celebrity. He made himself the bad guy, the guy everyone wanted to see lose.
He also has a lot of charisma, so that helps.

And yes, promoters could give Rigondeaux and other defensive fighters offensive style fighters, but not a lot of offensive fighters are going to want to fight with someone like Rigo.
Plus I believe Arum has done that with Rigo. Donaire was a heck of an offensive fighter and Agbeko as far as I know was know for throwing lots of punches. Rigo just shut him down, and it became a boring fight.

If you are the best and you deserves it you can complain. Sorry if this upset you but if you are right just complain. Here we have an Spanish slogan "el que no llora no mama" jajaja

Y "el que no arriesga no gana".

Bob Arum went to Rigondeaux locker room before his fight with Agbeko. He told him he needed to look good, to impress and to put on a show.
Rigo ignored Bob's advise and chose to stink up the joint.
It's the reason Bob was angry with Rigondeaux. Bob takes his money from the networks and if the networks don't want you Bob doesn't have any use for you.

Of course Bob said that, but he did everything to find Agbeko who didn't came to fight, as well as Nonito moved back all time and didn't engage. Of course Rigo can be aggressive, but there is only one problem, he is defensive as a key for his success. Before Nonito went to run and Agbeko came in survival mode any fighter that oppose resistance to Rigo was nocked. Rigo has power and punch, that's why Nonito didn't engaged and his face was destroyed (swallow? hinchada)

Full letter
"Dear Bob,

I read your comments once again trashing Guillermo Rigondeaux.

Let me remind you that it became clear to us well before the bout that Joseph Agbeko was, to use a euphemism, " troubled ". We asked, through Mr. English, that an opponent likely to be more competitive be used. The public does not know this. But you do.

All Joseph Agbeko did was to try to survive, perfectly predictable under the circumstances, as we both know.

Now you are once again trashing Guillermo Rigondeaux for following the direction of Top Rank and of HBO in fighting an opponent who did not want to be there and who simply wished to survive.

Tell the public the truth. Tell them that we knew full well that Agbeko was an inappropriate opponent and that Mr. Rigondeaux's representatives said so. Tell the truth and blame those who went forward in light of the advice to select another opponent. Tell the public who made the decision to use Agbeko, who made the decision to keep him in light of unmistakable signs as to the likelihood he would simply fight to survive (at best) and stop trashing the fighter you promote.

We look forward to Rigondeaux's next bout. It is time that Top Rank schedule same.

Donaire best use his speed jab feets or Vetyeka will rough him up.

So why did Rigo pass on fighting face forward brawler Avalos twice before they got Agbeko?

[alembic]

Still continuing with excuses.

Flyd is a US olympian, speaks english, flashy personality and competes in the most popular division in boxing. Noone cares about sbw exvept a few hard cores. And despite all that Floyd was a minor draw till he fought megastar Oscar. See the difference now?

None of your reasons has to do anything about boxing. Rigo has no English, no flashy personality and not compete in the most popular division, but he is pure technique, pure boxing, perfect footwork, perfect speed, perfect precision , perfect power. Rigo is there just for boxing abilities, and btw, were are not talking about Hollywood star, we are talking about a boxer, so Rigo without the English and flashy personality with only 14 fights is one of the best P4P and everybody in his division is afraid of him.
I'm sure that if Rigo was in 154 pounds he beats Floyd easely as he did to Nonito. Lets wait and see if Santa Cruz will like to face him in a couple of months. Remember my friend, pure and finest boxing and you must go to Santiago de Cuba to find it jajaja

donaire significantly slowed down when he moved up in weight. if he wins, that's a world title in another weight division but that's pretty much his limit. i don't see him moving up again
