Cuban Olympic Gold medalist Guillermo Rigondeaux's pro debut a disgraceful mismatch

[Spicoli]

Seems to be happening more and more.Maybe its all catching up to me but it just seems all of these Amatuer stand outs are being force fed,rushed to market Gamboa styla...media-wise.....and practically being proclaimed Champion before they have even fought their very first professional round or faced any true adversity.At any moment I expected Teddy to jump into the ring and kiss him on the forehead.

Teddy has serious man-love for some of these Cuban fighters. It's becoming puke-provoking!

not being able to stop such competition..not a good start.

the problem with some of the cubans fighter is that they are surrounded by people telling them all day long they're the best and the next big thing, the other doesn't know how to box compared to them and all this bullshit.

and, a large majority of them, becomes lazy at the gym..not all, but the so called upcoming (from what I heard about Solis and Gomez, in fact) :-)

Holmcall is more involved in boxing than I am so he should know if this worse than most but honestly some of this I think is just over the fact that it was televised, cause lets face it a lot of guys who are prospect fodder, whether they are debut guys or not are pretty horrible.

In an attempt to prove my point, I give you Hector Lopez

This is some hilarious shit, you should really watch it.

I don't think the Rigo or the Jacobs were that bad.
I mean both Rigo & Jacobs are starting off (at that time that was Jacobs 2nd fight).

Fighters like Lopez & Noriega know what the matchup is.
Noriega didn't have to take the fight. But he did and he got paid.


I don't have issues with either one of those matchups if I'm honest.


The really bad shit can be seen in PongsaShits record where he was a title holder with 50+ fights 60+ fights fighting guys 4-15-1 for the title. That shit is fucken mind blowing.

On the other hand I've witnessed how fighters like Noriega & Lopez are found and in some ways "used"...
