Let me get this straight. There is a reason networks, promoters etc etc are done with Rigo... Its not because hes black, like he claims. Not because hes cuban, not because he speaks spanish. Not because he beat Donaire. Not because hes in the smaller weight division. Its because when they put him vs easy opponent like that filipino guy on the undercard of Cotto and Alvarez he stunk the place out. People were bored out of their mind. So lets stop actling like its everybodys fault except Rigos. Hes a great fighter, but hes not a must watch tv type of fighter... Stop playing the victim. Loma is way more entertaining than Rigo. As for skills, we shall never know... Hope this fight gets made..

Seriously, go watch the Rigo fight and look at what I'm talking about, these things were not punches, it was just doing this sort of pawing toward Agbeko but with no intention to land. There were about a foot short of Agbeko. I've always been a Rigo guy, look at my past. I think he is a top talent in the world. You're just way off on this thread.
This is the one fight that he was credited with all of these punches. If you look at his history, he always averages around what he threw in the Donaire fight, this is the one fight were he is throwing 2.5 times more than the amount of punches he usually averages per round. There is a reason, and it wasn't because he was extra aggressive in this fight.

Loma excels throwing punches against fighters who shell up and his numbers drop almost by half against fighters that don't shell up. On the other hand, nobody opens up against Rigo and Rigo at his age is not gonna be a volume puncher. In the amateurs Rigo threw a ****load of punches. Donaire and Agbeko quit after the second, third round. Had they tried to actually win they would've been broken down or layed out. They just don't want to be embarrassed and hurt. The so-called Gremlin can actually punch really hardLast edited by pesticid; 12-03-2016, 08:11 PM.

It's not just the punches thrown by rigo it's the fact he takes no risks and isstead carries his opponents when he doesn't have to. Rigo has speed, power and could throw punches in bunches but doesn't. He could have stepped it up against agbeko and put him away. he didn't. Same against Francisco. Those were big stages for
Rigo to shine, he chose to play it safe.
Can't later get upset when people don't want to watch.

Its probably only fair to compare recent opponents, against Dickens Rigo threw about 5 punches a round!
I'm a huge Rigo fan before you call me a hater, I just think his time has gone now, sadly...
