I think it was Tha boxing voice how they were saying Loma and Rigo fight the same and Loma gets all the praise whilst Rigo gets put down and they tried bringing race into it

The crazy thing is Loma was more exciting against that Thai with one arm after he hurt one of his hands

Trolls will be trolls they like to say dumb **** and get under peoples skin this is NSB after all, you can't expect everyone you talk to actually make sense and bring up facts it's impossible here.

Through the years they become easier to spot right away.

I was disappointed in the performance. While Rigo out classed him, it was a very uninspired performance. 75 punches landed overall is not going to have HBO screaming to get him back.

I wanted Rigo to go out and take him out like he took out Teon Kennedy. Instead I felt like he carried a fighter who had no business being in the same ring with him.

I think it was part ring rust and part just having too much respect for the guys power. Or maybe he just getting old who knows. He shouldn't have carried that dude even after a year off, he was way too happy to cruise to a shut out. Didn't give 2 fks what people wanted to see.

The problem is that HBO is going to use this fight against him as a reason to not feature him on their cards.

I was very disappointed because I know he could have blown this dude out in like 2 rounds. He had a great opportunity to put a statement and wipe this dude out and he didn't do it. Now it's going to be the same thing all over again "HBO throwing up" etc.

That's true he can't complain people don't want to get in the ring with him if he is giving them so much ammunition to mount the "he boring doe" defense not to fight him. It's bull**** as an excuse because this is about who is the best, but people buy into it and Rigo just gave em a free pass.

I didn't even watch the fight, went out to buy some last minute supplies.

It's not that I don't like Rigo, it's that it was a meaningless fight against a nobody.

Idea

Rigo glad your back but man you didn't give it your best effort.

I'm tired of people comparing you to Floyd. Your not in his class. Floyd is more entertaining than you. He is a great counter puncher, defender (obviously), and throws great lead rights. He's a matador.

But for you. I think number 1 you need to get a opponent that actually motivates you and 2 your contract needs to be an incentive laided contract.

For example you knock a guy out before x's amount of rounds you get some type of bonus on top of your purse, but if you go to a decision you lose x amount of your purse.

There needs to be some type of motivation for you. Maybe money should be it. Because you seem hell bent on boring the hell out of your fans/supporters.

I don't blame them, the only ones who seem to find him exciting are those problack youtubers like Dontaeboxingnation. I cant wait for Donte video saying how Lampley and HBO was being racist and hating on Rigo by calling him boring.

And I feel like only Whites like barfights.com? GGG beating up on scrubs. Funny thing is white ppl R 2 DAMN cheap to even support GGG.

He has the skills. But he needs a legit partner or a different trainer that has 2-5 years to work with him. He will NEVER get that legit opponent anymore. GGG is too cheap and scared. Rig. already said he would move up and down...But means it! 154-168 doe

[CubanGuyNYC]

Can't believe Rigo went the distance with this dude. He just doesn't get it.

Second this. I just woke up from a nice nap to this ****ty news. How in the HELL did he go the distance with this caliber of opponent?? Did Rigo look shot or something? We knew this was a possibility given the fact that he's so old and inactive.

Third. I was disgusted. That "fight" was garbage. Rigo is a thief. I've defended him over and over in the past, but he's just in there for the paycheck. **** him.

I was fully expecting Rigo to go through that guy like a buzz saw. Ten fucking rounds with a sparring partner? GTFOH with that bullshit.
