He is very talented and has a lot of skills, but he looks for the one punch knock out instead of putting on a clinic against his opponent.

he was overrated to a degree. I surely think his boxing ability was a little overrated, somewhat like Dawson. they have been getting by just beating fighters off of athleticism. its a different story when they meet someone who is close to them athletically with superior boxing ability. Rigo is good, but a true boxer wouldve made him pay more for circling around to his right.

It's a shame Rigo couldn't come over when he was 21-23, I can't even imagine how fast he was at those ages if he's like this at 32.

Makes you wonder how many other Cuban fighters we missed out on.

I don't even wanna think about it :to:

but hey, extensive amateur career, short professional career getting the maximum amount of money/championships in the shortest amount of time ain't half bad :manny:

Risks of leaving boxing all fukked up in the head are minimized in my honest opinion

Dead even, 104-104 on my card. Final round coming up

No idea what HBO broadcast sounds like, but ringside me, @KevinI and @jonnysaraceno, and others, all have it even or close.

I don't know why I'm trippin' but this shyt just made me mad. Like how the fukk do you have it that close except you don't like the way Rigo fights because it wasn't enough action :wtb: It can't be that different ringside can it?


This is the only legit reason that I can accept for these scores. Some of those close misses, blocked punches and glancing blows must look like landed punches from that position. But I find it hard to buy that shyt too. Don't Lederman and the announcers basically sit ringside too? They had no problem seeing an asswhooping for what it was.

Judges just be on some serious bullshyt and far too often aren't held accountable for their terrible scores. Still love the fight where Teddy Atlas took the scorecard back to the one judge and asked them did they know how to score a bout. I wanna say it was an Emmanuel Augustus fight, but I could be wrong. I was just thinking it was bout time somebody got into they shyt for fukking with nikkas careers and money.

Tyson looked pissed when dude asked him if he was a Thesbian, then told him it had nothing to do with his sexual orientation. :pachaha: he tried to play Mike.

Happy Rigo didn't get screwed and he looked great in victory but what's next for him?

A rematch with a man he dominated :ld: a match with Mares :ooh: or a move up in weight for bigger fights :ohhh:

Yep. Love when Mike shows that intellect. If not the most then one of the most intriguing minds in the history of sports imo. Yeah, he has some crazy ass soundbites, but I don't know if there is any other athlete who can express himself in the concise manner that Tyson can. I'm not sure how many other athletes could pull off the one man show he's been doing recently. Dude is always an amazing interview.

Excellent fight by Rigo. went the way I envisioned it. I was kind of surprised by the KD, but Donaire does possess power.
