Comments Thread For: Arum: Where Did Rigo Hurt His Hand? In The Dressing Room?

[PunchyPotorff]

Yeh I doubt he had a hand injury
He knew lomo was on another level and bailed
Weak sauce from rigo . Disappointing

So what will you say when the doc says the hand is injured?

Pardon me for being "that guy" but I couldn't stop myself;

Daily Mail, 2011;
"American Andre Ward has revealed he beat Britain’s Carl Froch in the Super Six super-middleweight final earlier this month despite breaking his left hand in two places in training.

Ward, who recorded a clear points win in Atlantic City on December 17, told ESPN: ‘Early on, the adrenaline was working. But in the sixth round, when I hit him on top of the head, I hit a wall in terms of the pain. But we got through it.’"

Haha, Andre Ward rules!

Arum just needs to take his reefer and leave the biz altogether. The guy talks about Roach having a big mouth. Geez.

So lets see:

wasnt sure which hand it was he broke at first
then wasnt sure which round it was

He only landed 15 punches the whole damn fight. WHEN did he break his hand? complete bull**** excuse. He never winced or complained about it in between rounds the whole fight. He couldnt handle Loma's superior speed and activity. Everything Rigo threw, missed. He had an embarrassing 8% connect rate.

He says he injured it in the second where he is credited with his first and only landed power punch in the first two, so must have been that punch right ? (he jabs with his right and that's assuming the power punch was a left).

All that pounding on lower level of opposition with no problems, then one punch on Loma and his hand breaks.

Loma must be the boxing equivalent of Chuck Norris - he breaks people's hands with his head on top of everything else he does.

quitting would make an injury actually seem more likely....thats why when pac claimed injured shoulder, despite throwing several combos after the time he claimed, it seemed pretty desperate to save face

running around here calling guys "tar" babies shows ur true "colors" you POSC

Great quotes. Ward may be dirty but he is a battler through and through. No quit in him.

Is Carl Froch Loma? Not even close. Even though I barely believe Rigo with the hand injury, Arum shouldn't say a thing after all the torn shoulder cries they had when Pacquiao lost to Floyd.

Hand injury or not, Rigo was overwhelmed with the pressure and mirror like movement of Loma. It was unbelievable! Any where he went, Loma was right there side by side in punching stance.

Rigo is extremely skilled also but he doesn't have that mental ability, high ring IQ like Floyd and Ward.
