Did some of the lustre come off Rigo?

[beenKOed]

I dont think he loses any at all. I think he slept on Amagasa and to make matters worse was a little caught off guard by his height and awkward style. What trouble he did have may actually help him get another big fight. Once he did take it up a notch he did look like his was in a different league then Amagasa. I think a little hubris crept in and he thought he might cruise.

Either one of the two Brits should try to get a crack at him because they'd most likely get home ice. I dont think Haymon will let Cruz near him. Quigg/Frampton of course is a natural but they could also wait that one out. Either man against Cruz would sure be a treat.

He said he never wanted to go up after Donaire but he might have to in search of that glory. I cant see him going near Walters. The dude must be a lightweight at least. Loma would be one hell of a boxing match but here again Arum and Rigo could be on bad terms. Rigo/Gonzalez would be interesting.

I think Rigo took a nap in Japan and we'd see a much different version against any of those guys.

How about you?

First of all I haven't seen the fight yet, so I'm taking everyone's word that Rigo controlled the fight, with the exception of one round.

Truthfully, I like Rigo more now than I ever thought I would.
He seems to be getting away from that 'robotic master boxer style' (there's one of my best oxymorons), where every round seems like the last, while Rigo does the minimum, and only takes a KO if it presents itself.
Since the Donaire fight, Rigo seems to be inclined to do more than the minimum to win, which is good in my opinion.
After seeing Amagasa's face, my advice to Rigo's opponents is, don't embarrass him. It turns him into a lion on a fresh carcass, he is definitely going to do more than the minimum to get some!

He got dropped 2:40 of the 7th round and even that round he was dominating. And with his opponents they should not let Rigo start to back them up because that's when he's dangerous which is exactly what he did after the 7th. He started to come forward and landed some good shots. I heard he broke the guys orbital bone and his jaw.

THanks for the link Tam, hadn't seen the full thing. I think Rigo probably took this one a bit lightly and started cruising, but the guy was able to follow up and hurt him against after the first KD so it's interesting. Either way it can't hurt his stock though, guy is great to watch and I don't understand why he's so blackballed. The last few rounds were brutal as he seemed to wake up after getting hurt twice. I love the way he would lead with the straight left as a way to set up the uppercut once the guy was covering up so much, Amagasa took some vicious punishment and probably wishes he'd quit much sooner today, it hurt just looking at his face towards the end.

Was this even televised? If anything I think it gets people talking, wakes him up. Not like it happens all the time and he came back like a brute.
