Didn't he spark her out recently?

Nah. She stupidly put her hands on him and he just put her in her place by chocking her out right quick

Smoger did nothing wrong. Kirkland was in kill mode

---

Hard to blame Smoger and his timing was correct. But he did seem to only manage to hold Tapia still for that last shot from Kirkland. Unfortunate last shot.

lol

Rigo-Agbeko starting same time as Judah-Paulie..... and can't watch tomorrow's replays.
Crap!!

Will have to watch this one and sneak peeks at the other.

Rigondeaux has that same arrogance Joel Casamayor had. That I'm better than you and you can't do anything about it arrogance

It's nice to see that they've made up and are getting on again. Til the next time.

Nice to see Uncle Roger up and around and that 2nd looked like Diaz in Rigo's corner.

Yes it is, and yes it is.

I wonder why rigo doesnt have a snapping jab. Is it so he can turn it into a hook for a counter or just habit?

All Rigo, the man is so damn diverse. He's like water.

Where is this btw? That arena is damn near empty..all the blue seats

Another clinic by Rigo much to the chagrin of HBO

Think you nailed it. Footwork leaves all the options on a like floating jab. The thing has multiple personalities

Agbeko not doing a damn thing. Not much more than a sparring session for Rigo thus far.

HBO's got the right idea. If Agbeko isn't going to do anything... at least have some good underneath shots of the ring girls climbing into the ring.

Kellerman may have it...Whitaker v Baby Face Jones, but Rigo seems more serious

Total domination by Rigondeaux

Are they really talking mma and Royce gracie in ref to Rigo wtf ??? All concerned get a touch of stink in this one

That's right! :furious:

I was hitting the "Last" button on the remote the whole time, and hoping I wouldn't come back to a fight only to have missed "FOTY-type" fireworks, and the announcer frothing at the mouth. Fortunately, both main events were relatively uneventful.

Whats even more insane is flipping between two threads also so not to 'spoil' results. Next time they go head to head we need on big Buffett thread ;D. You know it's bad when you catch yourself trying to mute Lampley with your mobile and use your remote as a mouse ;D

Speaking of Lampley.... you do have to give him credit for at least an attempt at humor. Don't remember the round, when he all of a sudden shouted "Big right hand by Agbeko!!" (Sort of jolted me from a slight drowsiness, so it wasn't all bad). He then laughed about it, saying he wanted to put some excitement in what was otherwise a dull effort to that point by Agbeko.

I'm not sure you can blame Agbeko too much. It was Rigondeaux's fault. Not in a negative way, he was just too good at getting away that he made Agbeko scared to throw. Rigondeux is a special fighter.
