Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux Climbs Off Canvas, Stops Amagasa In A War

[DannYankee]

He got hit clean very, very little. Entire rounds went by where Amagasa didn't hit Rigo with anything effective. But NSB is going to act like he was getting hit a lot because he got knocked down and that he's not one of the absolute best defensive fighters in the sport. Maybe the best.

This site is really annoying me lately. My tolerance for the bull**** isn't very high right now.

Don't let the trolls annoy you taking their opinion seriously means empowering their ******ity.

Yes, I agree, but that wasn't my argument, I'm saying he's a great defensive fighter. Rigo was pretty offensive in this fight though, check it out if you haven't watched it.

Oh I saw it. I still think he needs to set better traps. Stop relying on the idea of fighting outside, esp against a guy with much more reach. He has every advantage in skill, go inside, stay under his power and break him down. Switch outside when needed. Counter and let your hands go. He needs to learn to dictate the fight with his counters and footwork in an offensive way. Doesn't seem it comes to him easily tho . But there's no way to tell me he couldn't do it.

The dude was 5'10. He's as tall as freaking Golovkin.

Rigo is 5'4. Gets dropped once in the fight, breaks the dudes face and now he sucks?

What a bunch of ******s.

lol right, a few posters here are acting like Rigo was in some back and forth war and had to dig deep to get out of the trenches. Dude dominated every round besides the 7th where he got caught with a good punch that resulted in a flash knock down, second kd was questionable.

I feel you man, this site attracts some idiots from time to time.

Forget about the trolling, but size advantages don't win u fights at the world level. If a guy has one advantage over u, u take it away, especially when u are totally capable of doing so. That's how u become a great fighter. Rigo got hit because he fought dumb. He fought the wrong fight at that time.

I'm I the only one who loved the commentators? I couldn't understand a fking word but still loved it.

He won 10 of 11 rounds and beat the guy up.

He got caught in the 7th and went back to beating him up, even more so actually. He was pretty successful in taking away the size advantage.

Right, and I see this to be the case with many Cuban fighters, they don't possess much of an inside game besides maybe Abril. Lara is another perfect example, he could have put a clinic on Canelo, all the tools were there, but he just couldn't execute the proper offensive gameplan.

However you want to put it...Rigo still looked TERRIBLE! The Japanese guy was slow and clumsy, yet he posed serious problems to Rigo. Rigo seemed as if he had to pace himself. Punched himself out a couple of times. Maybe just ring rust...or maybe the reach disadvantage confused his computer. Action fight? I found it a low-skilled bore!

[SplitSecond]

rigondeaux is incredibly one-dimensional

but on a good note that was his best fight yet, although he wanted to run but the big guy didn't let him, for the most part it seemed like rigondeaux wanted to put on a show, guy ran into a left at the end of th 9th though, didn't look like he wanted to continue after that
