    Y'all think the only style of fighting should be 'chin up, face first. whoever falls first loses'. That's just dumb.
    when did I say that? I said it was his own fault. It was both of them, agbeko didn't wanna get knocked out and Rigo didn't wanna go for the knockout and leave himself to possibly get countered or hurt so he chose to spar a guy on premium network television. regardless of how great he his, he doesn't appeal to the fans, the people who pay to see him or the people watching on television. He will never be successful like that. Nobody said anything about face first.

      REALLY? LMFAO

      When did it become that once a guy reaches the top he has to go chase down guys who he is better than? I thought the contenders are suppose to chase down the Champions?

      Scott Quigg, Leon Santa Cruz, Carl Frampton and Kiko Martinez all should be coming after him. If he wants to go up to 126 and is comfortable at 126 then I am sure he can and will but he is not required to do so

        rigondeaux is completely overrated. he beat donaire, but so what? donaire himself was a MASSIVE hype job.

        imo rigo should develop a more exciting style because it's not his promoter who is making people literally walk away during his fights.

        and lomachenko KOs rigondeaux. his chin won't be able to handle the power and sharpness of lomachenko. This is why he avoids 126.

          If Donaire is a hypejob than 95% of fighters that are on TV are as well.

              seriously who did donaire beat? i agree with a lot of people when they say he just beats up on little people.

              gary russell jr is better than donaire imo.

                Donaire on fight night weighed the same FWs weigh on fight night nowadays. And so did Marroquin.

                    yah but they never hit like lomachenko did.

                    and before you bring up donaire, he doesn't count because he can only knock down and KO little people. lomachenko KOs legitimate featherweights (almost ko'ed 147lb salido).

                    rigo would feel real true power if he fought lomachenko.

                      And several other ranked contenders and title holders. His resume is deep and stretches across multiple weight divisions. Don't give me that **** about beating up on little people. Boxing has weight divisions not height divisions.

                      And stop trolling with that Gary Russell BS. Be serious.
