rigondeaux fight

[:::PSL:::]

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

[Spicoli]

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

was there a real reason why he left Roach?

[TheMacMagician]

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.....

[Master]

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

[sleepless]

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

[KananKrus]

(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.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

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.

[Nameless]

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.

It is somewhat harmful to boxing when having "newbies" watch "boring" fights.... cause the danger is that, they'd be reluctant participants the next time around, or worse, there might not even be... one. Right?

Well, seeing Rigondeaux' name sure mislead me into thinking that this time, there is no way that the undercards would do this. How wrong was I... Rigondeaux vs the skinny dude caused me to re-read the daily paper!

The Jones VS Karas-Soto provided somewhat OK action. But still, its not saying much when you find a few of the "casual enthusiasts"/guests, choose texting a better choice to spend precious few minutes than watching those damned undercards. And for some long spells too.

Good thing that the main card compensated enough for the excitement factor that invited folks over for fight night pledged support for a thereafter... a repeat.

The intention is to promote the sport and surely didn't want to burn the "yet-fickle-minded newbies" to go over the side that causes the decline in viewership of the sport.

Rigondeaux...better sort it out now, (IMO) there is real danger in HBO PPV pulling the plug on you, ala Clottey.

Totally agree with this, Clottey has always been a low volume puncher, but at least he had Pac throwing over a hundred punches a round, causing him to clam up. Rigondeaux was facing someone that was barely throwing anything at all, it was more of a game of tag than a boxing match. Rigondeaux should be relegated to ESPN2 undercards, 6 rounds or less.
