Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux Trainer Reacts To Critics: My Fighter is No Quitter!

[future hendrixx]

hes not a quitter, hes a HOE.

all those tweets, memes and jokes. rigo made fun of walters quitting now look at him. at least walters didn't make up a fake injury. now they wanna cry about size and weight when the only reason it didnt happen at 126 is rigo priced himself out. stop btching.

rigo was exposed as a gutless coward. his so called brilliant boxing IQ was overrated he never adjusted. his plan b was to clinch and force a disqualification.

every thing he was accomplished is now tarnished. he will always be remembered as a coward. no networks want him now he has no belt. fans turning on him. he needs to retire and fade into darkness.

ok so rigo didnt quit, you did. still a quitter however you wanna look at it.

Rigo just isn't the incredible boxer most people make him out to be. He's 1-dimensional, but is VERY good at getting opponents to fight that dimension.

Great plan by Loma. I posted in the past for Loma to win he had to:




Move laterally and change his height frequently. Get off first and attack at different angles. So long as he can take the power of Rigo he'd win easy. And he never tasted Rigo's power because he simply overwhelmed Rigo and Rigo could never even get started.

Great plan and execution

Rigo is a very talented fighter, you do Loma a disservice saying he is not. If he just beat a bum who moved up two weight classes why should anyone celebrate that predictable win? Why did team Loma need a strategy? By discrediting Rigo you discredit Loma. Strategy applied is a change in how the fighter fights. I saw very little just the best of what Loma always does. Is there a fight where Loma will not use angles lateral movement and pull out at an angle before counter?Keep in mind Loma wasn’t able to land cleanly on Rigo until the later rounds, the adjustment we saw is him doing everything he could to score and frustrate Rigo. It worked but it shouldn’t have given the challenge, if Rigo’s team prepared him mentally. Not saying Rigo would win but why didn’t he know the first rounds were going to be challenging for both fighters. Loma was ready for that Rigo wasn’t. The fans paid for Rigo’s quit with a fight that had no real offensive action.

He only took it for the payday. No way Rigo makes $400k against any fighter at 122 or 126. He's 37 so I don't blame him for taking the money, but let's not start giving credit for "accepting" to come up in weight. That was his only option. I'm 100% sure if he could secure fights at 123 for the same payday, he wouldn't even consider fighting Loma

That’s really not a lot of money, he should have made that at 122 if the other fighters weren’t ducking him. But Rigo causes a lot of his problems with garbage like this. If he was going to lose show up and fight off the front foot or take him into deep waters. But to quit playing defense was a waste of the world’s time.

Yes he did quit. At least if he tried to carry on maybe, just maybe, he might have went the distance.

"Rigondeaux, who was moving up by two weight divisions to take the fight,*was dominated in a one-sided contest where the Cuban boxer did more holding than punching"

Why did he hold & not punch in the fight? He was not getting hit with a lot of shots so why did he not punch? Was his hand really hurt? Did the weight cause an issue? Was it ALL the disadvantages from in the ring to outside the ring? As they are saying in social media did bob pay him off & we'll never see him fight again? Did he just scream for this fight for a pay-check?

Why did he not throw punches?

[turnedup]

"Weight isn't an issue"

"The move up benefits us the most"

"Lomachenko is in for a surprise"

"He did not quit"


That is a time line of the narrative here. Rigo was a great amateur with one notable win and a very stubborn refuse to chop it up with the fans personality. His career should be a lesson to boxers, all the skills in the world with zero personality means little in this sport and not finishing a fight like a warrior costs you more than what you save in quitting.

LOL!

[Squ□redCircle34]

I'm no Rigo big fan club member but unlike the people who's worth a damn in Lomas division, he at least had the balls to get in the ring with Loma!

Guys like Corrales and others refuse to test themselves against him! And it looks like the only one who's willing is Berchelt!
