Originally posted by The Akbar One View PostI'm a big Rigondeaux supporter, but I also acknowledge he stunk that **** up against Francisco. In his defense, he shouldn't have taken the fight on 10 days notice while not in fighting shape. People often cite the Agbeko fight as a stinker as well, but Rigs actually threw punches in that one. Agbeko just pulled a Clottey. I'm not sure how Rig's gets criticized for that fight being a stinker, when Pacquiao didn't get criticized for the same thing when he fought Clottey. It's a double standard, some people just put in the extra effort to criticize fighters of darker complexion. Half the criticism of Rigondeaux aren't even true either. Like that crook Arum criticizing Rigondeaux for giving Donaire the pumpking face. His left hand was magnetically attracted to Donaire's face all night. It wasn't Rigondeaux's fault that Donaire couldn't hit him. Rigs didn't run, he was in front of Donaire most of the night.

with all of that skill and power he should knock people out. Instead he just toys with them and scores points, because that's what you do in the amateurs.
Rigondeaux was a victim of the cuban amateur system and communism. If he turned pro in his early 20's he could have been salvaged.
You can't expect networks or venues to want a fighter who literally makes people turn of the tv or leave the building. That's what he does.
