Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux Knocks Out Kokietgym In One, Sparks Debate

Protect yourself at all times. I don't understand why some boxers just want to touch gloves in there when the other guy is trying to take your head off.

This doesn't give Rigo any positive press. It was a cheap shot that he was able to take advantage of. He is way to skilled to be using these types of tactics. Ppl may talk about it because it is a lil controversial but is not going to raise his stock.

headbutt and sneaked a 1,2 to a defenseless fighter.

I do have to give him props he recreated the Ortiz vs Mayweather bout in 1 round.

That wasn't a 1-2. Both the right and left were hooks.

It's pretty hard to see but it looked like it was a right hook followed by a short straight left, you could be right though.

Ref should have given Kokietgym more time, he was obviously still dazed from the headbutt. But bottomline is : don't try to touch gloves with your opponent unless you're far enough to defend yourself if he tries to sneak a shot. Kokietgym learned this the hard way.

If you watch the replays the left is behind his earmuffs. No way was that a straight left.

The difference is Rigo pop him when refusing to touch gloves Mayweather smacked Ortiz when he was looking at the ref

Let me stop your BS right there.

The fight was already on. It didn't matter if Ortiz was looking up at the ceiling or at Cortez. Cortez called time in. End of discussion.
