Why was rigo holding so much?

[RetroSpeed05]

Yeah, I wonder what the supposed Compubox numbers were for this fight. Neither man landed a telling blow, and I barely detected any scoring blows at all. This wasn’t Lomo’s fault. Had this been a clean fight, Rigo would’ve had his ass handed to him. That’s why he held like crazy and bent at the waist incessantly. He knew if Vasyl got the chance he’d be embarrassed. One way to look at it is, Rigo did everyone a favor by quitting halfway through the bout. Imagine having to watch another six rounds of that garbage.

He wasn't making it to 12. He was breathing heavy when he quit he knew he didn't want the combos to start landing and quit. I really think going up was the wrong call by his team, the extra weight had effect him as rounds went on.

Well, if you wrestled for six rounds with a bigger man, you’d be breathing heavy, too. Lol Quite obviously it turned out to be a bad idea to move up versus Lomachenko. But potential punishment aside, cardio wasn’t going to be an issue. Rigo’s a specimen, regardless of what happened last night.

Rigo couldn't handle Loma's skill or speed and he wanted to slow the fight down. Rigo was overwhelmed. His holding was excessive. I'm surprised the ref didn't deduct more points. Rigo doesn't have the guts to dig deep in the trenches. He wasn't willing to FIGHT. Maybe he's used to fighting guys who are easily handcuffed....Loma handcuffed Rigo last night. It looked like a pro fighting a bum. Rigo quit because he was about to get knocked out.
