Is Rigo One-Dimensional?

[Tony Trick-Pony]

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.

Yeah. I mean, it looked like he had zero answers tonight. Great win for Loma though.

[Tony Trick-Pony]

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.

I think that's why he quit.

He couldn't do that with Loma.

Sad that he relied on those tactics to that point.

How about a Tiger and a flea embryo?

:gay:

You would know.

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.

I'm a Loma fan, but I didn't expect him to quit.

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.

No just old. I watched an analysis of the two fighters and there was footage of Rigo as an amature. He was very fast on his feet and a lot more active. Looked like a different fighter. I know the fights are shorter but still...

I suspected Rigo would quit. He never challenged himself outside of Donaire, and he has a big ego. Guys with big egos don't want to face the humiliation of being stopped. They would rather quit on their stool or wave it off. I suspect a similar outcome if Rigo had fought Russell Jt at 126.

His pride definitely has hurt his career.
