    I liked his shot selection. You say wild, I say versatile.

    As per his mechanics, Ignore it. Ultimately this Rigondeaux will look completely different come say Spring 2010 or so (when I imagine he'll be looking at bigger fights). Roach will probably completely rebuild his mechanics, similar to what he did with Manny.

    He only threw about 96 rear hand lead uppercuts within the first 2 minutes. :cool:

    I'd like to see him throw a real jab, but let's face it, Rigondeaux can bring his D game to beat this level of competition.

    I really hope he gets/ keeps Whitaker to work with him.

    He looked bored. No doubt.

    Seriously it's not worth debating or arguing at this point. Roach will pretty much rebuild him to the point where his early fights will be nearly unrecognizable to the product we'll be getting.

    Gotta say other than the bizarre "Fast Slow-Motion" comment -- which I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say "WTF" -- Teddy has been pretty damn good tonight.

    Teddy gets ripped on to much for my liking. I like Teddy, and he clearly always vouches for the underdog just for fun. He isn't a complete idiot.

    Atlas is charismatic, and that's what I like in commentators.

    We shall see. They've been trying to change Gamboa. With disastrous results. Not everybody can change effectively.

    Anyone else notice that Johnson misspelled his name on his trunks. It says "JHONSON"

    Well while he's not a complete idiot, he doesn't do much to dispel that notion. Personally I hate listening to him when it comes to certain fighters, you can tell who he doesn't like and he doesn't try to hide it.

    Tecate commercial FTW.

    I'll trust Roach over the crew Gamboa has...and I thought he looked much better in his last fight against Rojas.

    Johnson was hurt at the end of the 4th round.
