Is Guillermo Rigondeaux Too Good For His Own Good

[Kirkland Laing]

Boxing is hitting and not being hit. On that basis you can make a case for Rigondeaux being pound for pound numer one.;

But we all watch boxing almost exclusively on the telly. And the telly peeps demand excitement because that's what their customers want. In terms of excitement Rigo doesn't crack the top 100. Make a fight like Soto Karass against Josesito Lopez and you have a fight that cable subscribers want to watch.

If Rigondeaux wants to become anything like a TV attraction then he's going to have to become more aggressive and give the TV fans what they want. But that isn't who he is.

Boxing is entertainment and rigo is too boring.

Rigondeaux needs to be matched right to provide entertaining fights Santa Cruz would provide some thrills Why isn't Quigg pushing for the fight Avalos would be fun

1. Guillermo Rigondeaux straps a harness around his body and pulls Ford Excursions 5 miles uphill twice a day. Then afterwards, he jumps in the pool and remarkably comes out dry as a bone. ( he pulls the Excursion while also carrying a refrigerator over his shoulders at the same damn time.)

2. Guillermo Rigondeaux also shadowboxes in a pool of wet cement, though before Donaire fight they switched to yogurt

3. Guillermo Rigondeaux conditions for body shots by paying MLB players to throw fastballs at him all day

4. Guillermo Rigondeaux eats lightning and craps thunder.

5. Guillermo Rigondeaux spars with Chuck Norris

6. Guillermo Rigondeaux is doing laps in a quicksand pit and heard he runs hundreds of miles at a time with the Kenyan Olympic team atop a mountain.

7. During the runs with Kenyan Olympic team, Guillermo Rigondeaux consecutively beats one by one world records at 100 m, 200 m, 400 m, 800 m, ... up to marathon. He is gracious enough not to compete at running, so that Kenyan people can have some food.

Rigo is a master boxer, he made Donaire look a fool and I always rated him, yes like many Cuban
boxers they are to good for the rest, they may not be the most entertaining but they win.

It was quite a show. Here is was in his 12th fight as a pro against a guy that was as high as 3 on some of those phantom lists. A guy known for his strengths and speed on the inside and countering ability in the kill zone. Rigo made him look like a guy they pulled off the street. I think he took Donaires heart in the process. I'll be surprised if he beats Vetyeka this weekend.

As for this generation of Cubans, I think for the most part they have been a group of underachievers and slackers. Consider Perez. The guy entered most likely entered the least competitive division since Marciano and has showed ambition on the level of a sloth. Btw I was really looking forward to the Jennings fight. Gamboa has absolutely wasted his talents.
Lara has thought the world needs to come to him but to his credit he's another guy most don't want to fight. Rigo needs out of Top Rank and even then he's a star wrecker now(bad for business) and the way the risk and reward system works today, he will be hard pressed to get a marquee fight. I agree with the point on the weight class also. The best weight classes in boxing are the ones that are ignored.
