Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux Knocks Out Flores in Controversial First

[CubanGuyNYC]

I apologise for how that came across. I didn't intend to question your boxing knowledge. I wouldn't judge any fellow boxing fan on an opinion on any single fighter. I feel I must disagree however with what you deem as entertaining. To me, even when rigo doesn't throw punches I love watching how he slips and evades attacks, and how he pivots and shuffles out of danger effortlessly whilst keeping his amazing balance.
Maybe you'll say I'm just another rigo fanboy who thinks the sun shines out of his Arse no matter what....maybe I am ha
But to me he's a magician in there and he does things only very few can do or have ever been able to do. And I find every one of his fights fascinating. Maybe you could just be to impatient to enjoy style, I admit he's not for everyone

No problem, man. I'm not trying to tell you what you should find entertaining either. I agree that Rigo often displays great skill, but he too often, in my opinion, stares at a clearly intimidated opponent and waits and waits and waits. I just can't see what's interesting or entertaining about that. If you're pleased, then I'm glad for you, but you're certainly in the minority, even among the hardcore.

Rigo was defending himself because Flores was trowing a punch also after the bell, Rigo just land first, and btw it was a dive.

He should have just went to the corner, they both would have been warn about hitting after the bell and he should have continue to fight until the inevitable KO, but at least he would have take it like a Warrior.

I missed this whole fight, but from what I gather it will most likely be ruled a no contest. No one gives a rat's ass anyway. They are midgets, one elite and one a journeyman, and the elite one is "boring" and his fights are almost as rare as Haley's Comet.

Also, why the hell do they call the last undercard the "co-main event." That is BS. It was the undercard. The main event was the #1 and #2 p4p fighters in the world. Both dang close to their prime. Rigo is a truly elite fighter, but his fights are so rare, he is so small, and so little action is in most of his fights, that that is all this was, an undercard bout. A 40 year old getting a tune-up. The next fight was the top two p4p fighters in the world. This was not a "co-main fight" and to say it was is lunacy and straight, unadulterated bs. Quit insulting everyone's intelligence, no one paying for this were swayed by Rigo. Even Rigo's own mother wouldn't pay $65 to watch her son fight.

When the commission sided with the ref something really started to smell.. were they in on the fix???

[Urtain]

If Rigo gets the win, Uzcategui should be awarded the win too.


It should be ruled as a No Contest IMO.
