    Why is this tool always criticising Rigondeaux, calling him boring etc? Surely boxing writers should be celebrating a man as skilled and talented as him?

    I personally love watching Rigo and the absolute feast of pure boxing skills he displays.

    Rafael's more boring than Rigondeaux.

    Rigo has got a chin like James Kirkland. He fights the way he does to protect his glass chin.

    X2.

    He's a classic example of someone who's life would almost definitely be improved by being properly chinned.

    It annoys me as well, nobody forces you to watch Rigondeaux if you're not a fan..

    I like watching Rigondeaux for what he is and wouldn't want him to fight any other way.

    No, he fights like that to win and protect his brain functions. Fighters with glass chins lose and get KTFO regularly. Rigo doesn't.

    I've heard somewhere that he doesn't even watch the undercard in the fights he covers.

    I disagree. Watching Rafael demolish the opposition in a pie-eating contest was very exciting.

    Lol..
