    Somebody just tweeted to Dan Rafael and he re-tweeted it.

    I'm glad I'm watching the Paulie-Judah fight. Rigo is the most boring fighter in history.

    Rigo is not boring, just awful Top Rank match-making. As I posted a few days ago...Agbeko is only aggressive at times. At his core he is a counter-puncher, so you match him against a fighter that is exclusively a counter-puncher? Who is the hell does that? Oh yeah....

    Yeah, you could tell after the first few round it was going to be a shutout. People leave Laker's games too when it's a blowout. Agree though, Rigo needs to go for the KO, he's the matrix in there and there's no reason why can't be more aggressive.

    Horrible night for boxing. They could learn a thing or two from Money May.

    Problem he has about being more aggressive is he doesn't have the best chin.

    It's not rigo's job to be exciting, it's his opponents job to fight back.

    How is that different from Floyd pitching a shutout in his fights?

    Floyd and rigo basically do the exact same ****, Floyd just has the persona keeping him packed houses.

    Rigo is basically a Cuban Andre ward: talented, one of the best today, but to some not that exciting

    Anybody who leaves after round 1 of the rigondeaux fight isn't a true boxing fan. Giving up the chance to watch in the flesh, one of the most gifted boxers to ever live, you aren't a true boxing fan.
