Why isnt Rigoin the 118 tournament?

[RetroSpeed05]

If Nonito can drain down to 118 surly Rigo could have. Tete, Inoue, Nonito even tough hes old Rigo it still might be enough to beat them all.

Who knows, the tournament heads probably wanted excitement.

[FinitoxDinamita]

1. He is boring
2. He didnt get invited cuz nobody likes quitters.

[Scary_canary]

Inoue .

[Raonic]

I know he's boring and all but I would have wanted to see him.

[BrometheusBob.]

Nah he's probably about done

[Loque-san]

This tournament wasn't prestigious enough for his Highness Rigo. He ordered his valet to decline the invitation.

[lolpz]

Apparently he was told by a doctor that he could not safely make that weight anymore.

Putting on muscle to go up in weight and fight the gigantic Lomachenko (compared to him) was the worst thing he did for his career. But, it took plenty of courage and balls to risk it all like that.

-Now he has a very very BAD looking loss (although not as bad as it seems considering the circumstances)
-He's older
-No longer a title holder
-NO ONE near his own weight class wants to fight him
-He could no longer make 118 to join the WBSS which would have possibly saved his career (after putting on weight)
-Ignorant dummies (which make up most of these fake fans/writers/media) now have a much more valid reason to dislike him.


It's really unfortunate the situation he's in atm. Hopefully Al can do something for him toward this later part of his career.

cos he couldn't make weight (and he's boring, probably why WBSS organizers didn't want him in)

Al does not have his best interests at heart. Al sees a 38 year old on the decline who still has a name, that can provide food for someone like Russell Jr. Remember we can toss blame around everywhere, but Rigo himself deserves most of it for the trajectory his career took.
