Comments Thread For: Guillermo Rigondeaux is Stripped of WBA World Title

[Andre_parker1]

Name a major promoter that doesn't work with the sanctioning bodies.

they have no choice wiseass..they want the best for their fighters..they want them to be champs ofcourse..you can't go against them alone..there's no other way to become a world champ except enduring and abiding to the rules of the corrupt alphabet organisations until the system is changed.. you can only make them give you favourable decisions with incentives..but what does that say about a good fighter with no huge promoter behind..he gets burned/neglected in the process..get the picture.. itsnt about the promoters..its about fighters who lay their lives on the line and fight and doesn't have the accolades to show the hardwork put in and how talented the fighter is is because of some corrupt organisation.. there are talents around the world..Africa,Europe not recognised or ranked..due to lack of exposure for one but also the shîtty ranking system of the alphabet orgs..a unitary and universal world ranking system would help know this fighters by working with the boxing federations of each country..and its top boxers level of skill,opposition will be gauged and help provide a better ranking system

This apples to dogs and men :
The best are NOT Tested when on top !

You think on that. You can be a Mayweather a Rigo ,Loma or GGG and win a 1000 fights

BUT

The Best are Tested when on the bottom they still fight. Rigo a top draw fighter was finally put on the bottom and couldn’t take it so he QUIT!!

I have zero doubt Mayweather will quit. His antics over his convoluted career have proven to me if he was on the bottom he would quit. Remember when cut and roughed up by the boy from Argentina? JR nearly quit crying to his daddy “I can’t see”, “I can’t see”! Lying Basterd!!!! He just quit but few saw it and few will admit to it! A dog that turns just quit for a moment and JR the same and the same for RIGO!!

Poor dude couldn’t take the pressure of being outclassed. Not from Pain but ALL MENTAL!!!

Rigo is Done against top competition

[richardt]

If Rigo had displayed Valor in the Lom fight, his being stripped would be more disappointing. Regrets haunt all of us and his decision in the ring that night will haunt him....no need to rub salt in the wound.

If rigo hadnt quit vs Loma, he'd probably get more sympathy buy this is a dirt bag move by the wba. We all know if rigo was a money maker like a Canelo, no way would they strip him. Especially to enforce a rematch vs a guy who basically took a dive and tried to win the belt by dq. Also never heard of an organization granting permission for a fighter to take another fight at another weight class but then saying theyd strip him if he lost. Makes 0 sense.

well, tough luck, go back to cuba or any other place where the money would last longer and try to coach an amateur program.

You don't get it. This is the system the biggest promoters want. It raises the barrier to entry. Makes it more expensive for the little guy to compete.

Bob Arum is the #1 reason there are four titles instead of two. Know your history.

Boxing is a business. It exists to entertain the public and take as much of their money as possible. The fighters come in broke and die broke. They are just pawns in the system. The belts are everything. This is the way the promoters want it.

Lol That’s a lot to say. Haha

But I agree Rigo was beat mentally. In fact, he was beaten before he stepped in the ring. I got a bad vibe the moment he started touching gloves so much with Lomo. I’ve seen this before. Too much respect, even fear. Then the clinching started almost immediately. Can we even call it clinching? It was plain holding. Then came the ducking below the waist. Rigo was not hit with a single telling blow, nor did he land one. Yet he quit on his stool, complaining of a hand injury that didn’t even seem possible. I’m over it; but, man, what an embarrassing way to end a career.

I think it may be the end of Rigo. Do not be surprised if Roc Nation drops him now and we already know how useless Caribe is to putting together fights.

[sammybee]

WBA decision not fair to Rigo. Brook & Mikey Garcia didn't get such treatment from IBF & WBC respectively.

[Chrismart]

Although we knew it was coming, it's still a little harsh.
