Is Rigo One-Dimensional?

[!! Shawn]

I don't really think so, but there's nothing wrong with being that as many fighters find success with the style they know.

I just wonder, because it seems like he does the same thing every time out, slapping the other fighter's lead hand with his jab, launching the big left hand, backing up and waiting and waiting and waiting. Low punch output lots of times.

I'm not calling him that, but let's hear some of the deeper levels of his game from the Rigo fans or from, people who actually study styles and know more about his style. Fanboys, feel free to rant and rave.

I think Lomas superior punch selection played a big difference in the southpaw vs southpaw matchup.

Very good assessment.

That made a big difference.

Rigo isn't one dimensional but most of his opponents were. This helped to raise his stock and make him look better than he really is.

He doesnt have to he uses different angles kind of like pacquiao. Im sure if he wanted to stay outside and potshot he could but he doesnt need to when his style is completely different. Why stay on the outside when you can frustrate the **** out of opponents with his angles and speed?

Seriously this is what I'm talking about. Why having too outbox in the long range when you can frustrate opponents mid range. And guys like Loma, Pac gets criticized for doing their thing.

Been saying that since forever. His right hand is only good for measuring his opponents. He's basically a one handed fighter.

Loma exposed it. The way loma controlled the action with his lead hand was a thing of beauty

He's one dimensional.
Look at his answer when the going gets tough.
He ducks so low and ties the opponent's hands, which are both illegal.

A tiger and a grasshopper

How about a Tiger and a flea embryo?

rigondeaux has a great counter left hand, lomachenko has a great lead hand. one guy lead, the other tried to counter, and the guy leading was stronger, younger, bigger, and just flat out better. one guy potshotted and held, the other guy boxed.

anybody who didn't think rigondeaux would get outworked was a fanboy. nobody expected the outcome, however. dude f#cking quit.

[boxinggod101]

His holding is beyond ridiculous

Rigo was just too small tonight, and he still exposed loma
