🤔 2017 Most Humbling L Of The Year (POLL)

[chrisJS]

Rigo. Easy. Years of crying and complaining of being ducked after rejecting the fight and acquired a bunch of new fans. Both were humbled after he was grossly outclassed and quit like a punk. All after he said "no excuses size don't matter".

Canelo vs Chavez Jr. After all the talk from Chavez he crumbled from round 1. Embarrassed his legend dad who watched in disgust.

[hogwash]

for me its Broner, his career and credibility was on the line and he bottled it

1st reaction was loma vs rigo BUT rigo moved up.

had to be haye with his big mouth.
whenever him and khan lose = :wank:

[lolpz]

Rigo jumped up 2 weight classes at age 37 to fight the #1 p4p fighter in the world and got a hand injury in a fight where he was SEVERELY undersized physically and was losing every round. He didn't take ANY punishment whatsoever.

DeGale was #1 in his divison, coming off a FOTY candidate draw with #2 in January. He cherry picked a 160lb fighter moving up in weight as a tune up comeback fight and was already calling out Benavidez before the fight even happened for unification. He LEGITIMATELY LOST a 12 round decision in his own back yard, and was embarrassed amongst his own people. You could argue that although the fight was competitive at times, it wasn't even really close. He lost CLEARLY to this Traux guy. He hadn't fought in England in a three years and this was his homecoming fight against a guy who wasn't even supposed to win a single round against him. Traux wasn't even a top 30 middleweight, goes up to 168 and beats the #1 Super Middleweight of the world in his own backyard.


If that's not humbling, I don't know what is.

lol nope, it's definitely Rigo.

It's mainly because he was so damn overhyped going into the fight.

I told everyone going into the fight that this fight was a sham, and that Rigo was going to get pummeled and embarrassed and that it wasn't a competitive fight.

But Rigo's delusional fan base, which is massive, somehow were convinced that their guy was this mythical being that was going to somehow move up two weight classes and take out a fighter who was bigger, younger, stronger and a better boxer and more accomplished he was. Not only did they think that, but you had respected people in boxing saying the same thing AND you had people dubbing this fight as Fight of the Year.

Rigo was so undeservingly overhyped going into a fight against a much superior boxer. Why? Because he beat a one-dimensional fighter in Donaire in 2013.

But Rigo, and whoever was running his account, wouldn't keep their mouth shut. They talked about what they would do to Loma and how they were going to fight till the end and not quit like his previous opponents.

What happened? Well, Rigo quit and it was revealed he had a "bruised hand" after getting shutout in 6 rounds.

That is the biggest L of the year, when you talk all that into account.

Degale vs. Truax, no one gave a **** about that fight. It was a bad loss. But how many people actually saw the fight? 1.7M saw Rigo quit.

as an englishman i'd say davies v taylor. i was on that hypetrain and thats the type of loss that changes a fighter forever. seriously exposed.

[Dip_Slide]

judging by the way Rigo fought I don't think he was expecting himself to win the fight, his mentality was to go out there and take the least amount of punishment possible for the money and it was apparent from the first bell. That's why I don't think it's a humbling loss for him because he really didn't care much.

I think the Lubin fight is the one that has the highest probability of leaving some mental scars on the young once confident Lubin, after all that talk and all the confidence he showed he gets knocked out in the first round by the first landed punch, I think it doesn't get more humbling than that. I think the the Williams Charlo fight was also a very humbling experience for Williams, he also talked a whole lot and called out Charlo, only to get knocked down by a jab and brutally knocked out in 6.

My bad I thought the thread was titled most humbling L of the year. Humbling in terms of the fighter himself being humbled. Not how big the fight was.

Now if Rigo were to move up and beat Loma, that would be a humbling loss for Loma because he was #1 p4p and the much bigger man.

Facts are facts. Rigo was a SMALL 122lb fighter (small for his own weight even do your homework) jumping up two classes at age 37 to face the #1 in the world p4p. You cannot argue against facts my friend. No matter who thought or said what about who to who or w/e.
