Rigondeaux: I beat you down and you don't touch me

[Dr Rumack]

"Did I do things wrong? No matter what I do you guys are going to talk. I don't know what the problem is with Cuban fighters. I don't know what it is.

Rigo mate, have you seen your promoter's website?

[ThePunchingBag]

These fighters are forgetting that Boxing is a sport, and sports are about entertainment.

If you don't have what the people want, the people won't pay to watch you.

The whole hit and don't get hit only works with the public if your persona outside of the ring is enough to cover your lack of drama inside of it. Unfortunately Rigo's personality is about as exciting as a pile of rocks.

Rigo mate, have you seen your promoter's website?

Wow, I just did and STILL has the Rigo vs Nonito up.....not even updated.

Embarrassing!

[Bardock]

See how quick this turns on you.
A guy as great as JLC is fighting for table scraps and is labeled a journeyman. That is a man involved in a massive fight, possibly fight of the decade! lol. I'd say Rigo has already surpassed Castillo's and Marquez' status as greats.

Talk about delusional rigo surpassed Marquez as an ATG with that donaire win? Lmao stop while you're ahead ****** vieja.

[Evol]

Rigo is right. Its about hit and dont been hit!

Why do I need to get hit in order to have a following, why do I have to give up my advantages like SeekDaGreat mentioned? Ubber bull chit! No.

If you step on the ring, you better be ready, you must be prepared. You are a professional, now if you are a complete hypejob, with a hand me over path then you will be exposed.

Mares, Santa Cruz, Hampton, all those are avoiding Rigo like ebola! Rigo will destroy them and and expose dudes like SC and Hampton just like he did to Nonito.

Once they feel Rigo's power they will go into a defensive shell, and hide...then casuals and people who dont understand boxing will say that Rigo is boring!!! I LMAO at them. "peeleft:

War Rigo!

yes thats the concept, to hit and not get hit. but u including rigo is not seeing the fact that rigo expects to be paid. he is not fighting for free is he? well if people is paying to watch him fight, they want to some some knock outs, etc. when people throw a party for a fight, most people there is getting their drink on, buzzing having a good time. aint nobody want to sit and watch a boxing display for 12 rounds. u know how much of a mood killer that is?

[Bigg Rigg]

IMO, Rigo shouldn't change a thing. He's boring like Floyd but their styles are great for them and obviously work for them. The thing is not too many ppl like it. Can't be mad at that cuz u can't make ppl like something they down want to. Nobody says Rigo isn't good. We all know it. He's just not that entertaining sometimes. He needs the right opponent. Cotto and Maidana 1 brought out a more exciting Floyd. Gamboa brought out excitement from boring ass Terence Crawford. I'm sure guys like Mares an Santa Cruz could do the same with Rigo.

Rigo has pretty much dropped 99% of his opponents and stopped 9 of them. Agbeko would have been KTFO but once he felt Rigo's bite, he just shelled up like pretty much all his opponents.

What is he supposed to do if his opponents just hide behind a shell? Let them hit him? No my friend, cant do that.

[Mikel 45]

Hardcore boxing fans can appreciate him.

In my view hes a joy to watch. One of the best pure boxers in history , hes got to be.


Some casuals probably wouldn't even know who he is, which is a shame

rigo do dropped most of his opponents but he usually doesnt pressure more after that. he's kinda like floyd, he's good enough to take his opponent out if he wanted too but he rather play it safe and there is nothing wrong with that but like i mention when people is paying for a fight they want to see knock outs and what not. rigo is the type that will throw a punch at u and will hit u right on the spot but then u wont see that again for a few minutes. he's not consistent with it.

[Evol]

i actually do enjoy watching rigo fight though. would i ever pay for it, prolly not.
