    Lol do jabs don't count now. Go back and watch the fight and tell me Rigo was not trying to make a fight out of, and tell me Agbeko looked like he wanted to fight. Go ahead and watch it. You can't force someone to fight, Agbeko was scared. Did Rigo looked like a boring fighter against Amagasa, who was willing to fight?

      Cause Agbeko was avoiding him. He was covering up like Clottey did with Pacquiao. Look how many punches Pac landed on Clottey. 246 of 1231, and half of them were jabs. Who's fault was that, it was Clottey who laid an egg. Agbeko did the same thing, he didn't want ot engage with Rigo.

      I've seen enough of the fight and don't need to rewatch it, I remember Agbeko taking a bodyshot early, possibly the first rd and shutting down, he's got no defense like Clottey neither so no comparison there, and round after round Rigondeaux is fighting this guy like he was facing Donaire or something, did next to nothing himself except extend his right arm casually, those "jabs" that are counted.

      Example of trying to make the fight: Pacquiao threw 682 power punches, Rigondeaux threw 222 power punches.

      And this isn't to mention that Pacquiao actually throws his jab like a punch, and often adds it inbetween combos. You can't absolve Rigondeaux from blame for that fight being complete and utter horse ****e, Agbeko shut down so punish him and beat him.

          It doesn't matter what it is.

          The guy in the other corner has two hands as well.

          It was obvious who was controlling that fight.

            Controlling the fight, ofcourse, that's what was being talked about.

              Come on man, these guys are fkn professionals, and you're talking about a jab here LOL.

              If Rigo's jab is not authoritative or effective, then he will be found out.

              If the other corner can't overcome a poor/inefficient jab, that aint Rigo's fault.

              He uses it to establish the perimeter, as a range finder, and as bait.

              Comparing punch stats with Pacquiao seems crazy, they have completely different styles.

                Caribe hasn't done a damn thing for Rigondeaux since Rigondeaux's contract with Arum ended. Unfortunately, Rigo is too ****** to see the truth.

                    You think so, well please tell me what was so horrible considering since he left Arum it's gone downhill.

                      caribe seems to suck but they do have him a fight lined up so maybe we're seeing a different path and them taking someone's direction

                      What's the saying? Help yourself out and i'll help you...Arum asked Rigo and Caribe for more KO's they said no and then complained they weren't getting the spots rigo deserved despite the fact they had Rigo on undercards he didn't belong in to get him exposure but people fancy knocking Arum when he was actually trying to turn Rigo into a star. Donaire without the knockouts would've been in the same situation as Rigo.
