Thread: rigondeaux fight

Ok so his fight was super boring and he ran like hell but, what does everyone think about him after being semi tested as a pro?

He is super boring and runs like hell

He's got talent, no doubt. But his corner sucks. He shouldn't have left Freddie Roach.

Needs to put things together. Stop buying into mega hype and just work.

was there a real reason why he left Roach?

I know through a friend of mine that Rigo was skipping training when at wildcard and wouldn't get out of bed for early morning runs. Don't know how far that went but, I believe he probably needs to be beaten of his arrogance. Maybe he lost a luittle of that on saturday night when he was knocked down, although not a bad knockdown at all.....

Hate the guy for nearly making me fall asleep and miss the main even.

Another safety first boxer whose career won't go farther than his talent was suppose to be.

(IMO) Doesn't even deserve an undercard status. I'll leave this bit with the best description I've read so far of his boxing... his style is a guaranteed cure for insomnia!

He feel Roach was taking him for granted. Not giving him enough attention (something like that).

O ok thanks.

With all the natural talent this guy has, he is going to need to step it up and engage more to make it anywhere near the pinnacle in the sport. I was embarrassed telling my fellow team members "you guys have to watch this dude..." and then one by one faces fell into their pizza as the rounds went on.

This isn't the amateurs any more where outscoring pts is what it's about. People pay good money to see exciting fights. And that was about as far from exciting as I've ever seen.

The guy has had seven pro fights. I understand that he has a wealth of experience in the ams but we should be realistic (Rigondeaux included). This is a whole other ball game. Plus he is already fighting guys with a LOT of pro experience.

Plus he hasn't (or even doesn't) have the luxury that a young bodied pro gets of boiling down to unbelievably overmatched proportions so that he may just beat on a bunch of tomato cans.

This guy is going down a road that young fighters struggle with. Give him some credit while he deserves it because IMO he ain't gonna last that long.

What happened might be the perfect non-damageable situation that might kick up his will to step up the plate and to train as the champion that he should be.
