Tooooool

Not really.
The exciting, popular fighter lost. Other guy is terrible of course.

Fuck sake, some idiot "journalist" on twitter saying Rigo is proof that boxing is deteriorating. How the fuck does someone watch Rigo and come to that conclusion? Bunch of snobby know it all morons trying to look smart. Sick of these bastards - Iole, Dan, all the twitter jockies who felt a need to bash Rigo. If he was American he would be praised as the second coming of Whittaker.
No, my bad.
I thought you had them a week or two ago when I was watching a fight in here.
If not, I was just mistaken.
They expose themselves as retards, is all it is. Too many Just Bleed douchebags ruining every combat sport. If I want to see bums go to work on each other's face with no movement and defense, I'll go to "da club." Fighters who can go their careers fighting the best and not be mauled are special. Not if you listen to these assholes, though. The more dementia, the better.
And Rigondeaux is better than Whitaker was anyway. Sue me.
I thought it was good fight.
"If he was American he would be praised as the second coming of Whittaker".
Just to look at he appears to be. He's much slicker especially shocking since he's in his 30s. His foot work is also much faster. If you were to compare a highlight reel of Rigo and Sweetpea side by side Rigo would look much better, however obviously this doesn't accounts for the difference in records. Rigo is fighting at a fast rate, if he keeps it up he'll build that record to Whitaker's level. Rigo is also the lbs for lbs better puncher, and he's fighting guys much bigger than him.
I believe Rigo could have KO'd Donaire, but like all of his fights he waits and chooses his moment to make his move. Any time Rigo floods his opponent he'll finish them, it's only a matter of when. Rigo did try to flood Donaire within the last two rounds but I think he underestimated Donaire and simply couldn't end it this time.
Rigo really does resemble Whitaker, but I don't think Floyd should be compared to Whitaker the way people do. Sure there's parts of him there but Floyd has his own style.
Nobody has ever been "much slicker than" Whitaker. Pernell certainly had the better jab and pretty much all of his skills were at least on par with Rigo (they're both incredibly skilled). I'm a big Rigo fan (he used to be my av) and I thought he'd beat Donaire with few problems. I think he's as talented as any fighter alive today. Acknowledging all this, I don't know how you could think Rigo looks much better than Sweat Pea. Pernell is the greatest backfoot boxer of the modern era and certainly one of the greatest fighters of all time.

You say that because they're both southpaws. They fight nothing like each other.
I think most agree that that was a bull shit decision.
