how about guillermo v nonito two?

Just retire Rigo.

He doesn't seem to get the memo, when things like this happen you pause and reflect and make change. Incredible amateur career and a good pro career but at 41 (probably closer to 50 just looking at him and with his Cuban birth certificate) and coming off back to back losses and only clearly seeing out of one eye and he's talking about coming back? Come on.

In his prime that pressure cooker wouldn't have gotten within an inch of him. Seriously, glad he's getting better. But honestly ? He burnt his eyes but my eyes used to burn when I watched his fights. Had he been a bit more aggressive with a touch of Whitaker to his game, he would have earned more.

But he was ducked. Arum was very upset with his victory over Donaire. He was grooming Nonito to be his next Pac-Man. It's easy to forget what a giant win beating Donaire was at the time. That was HUGE given that Donaire had just won fighter of the year and seem really ready to explode into superstardom. But it took Rigy only 36 minutes to shut all that hype down. After that fight. No one wanted him. Not Frampton. Not LSC. Not Quigg.

When he finally did get a big fight that he wanted against Loma he disgraced himself by quitting. Maybe he knew he'd get KTFO if he didn't the way he fought, that was his only option. Its an unenviable position, entertain the fans, get violently KO'd, bore the crap out of everyone alienate all the fans, scare off opponents, keep the hardcores and your 0

All he has known is boxing and I hope he has some investments like his compadre Frank Sanchez who owns a restaurant in Miami so that he can have a steady income after boxing. Some boxers like Rigo spend their whole lives in boxing and people just kick them to the curb. Hopefully he never has to be concerned where his next meal is coming from.
