    Sidenote, I was this close to making an Educate Yourselves thread on Joey Spencer, but I hesitated and pumped the brakes,something wasn't clicking with him, he had that Caleb Plant vibe to me, and shockingly, his power is even less effective earlier in his career and against worst far opponents than Caleb's, at least Caleb's power hung in there until he got in with someone half decent. So... made the right call on him it seems.:lol: Same goes for Ababiy, whose another hypejob in the making.

    Jesus... what was Rigo doing, he just decided to slug it out for 8 rounds. Complete change in style that doesn’t suit him

    Charlo was punching with anger and resentment. Those punches were launching Cota off both feet. Plus he has straightened out that right hand. He intends to punch a hole through Harrison and it wouldn't surprise me if he did.

    Gotta give props to Riggs. He stepped into a man's wheelhouse and went mano e mano. Never thought I would see him do that but he showed the heart of a gunslinger and came through like a champ. It was an exciting fight for me but wouldn't want to see him continue down this path. Maybe a mix of both skillsets.

    Yes he has to because his legs are gone, so he will have to stand and trade more. The only good thing for him is that he has excellent power as he showed last night so he will still be dangerous.

    I remember when Cory Spinks did the same thing. Obviously, in his case it didn't work because he lacked any power and overall just wasn't as good as Rigo. But I agree that Rigo is having to do this because of his age and lost legs. That fight was so surprisingly entertaining, I couldn't believe it tho.

    I think he can still move a bit. He explained his reason for fighting that fight in the post fight interview. He let fan criticism get to him. It's impressive for a guy his age, at his weight class to fight in a style the total opposite of what he is comfortable with, and win. Nobody can question his heart, and chin after that. He still needs to tighten up his inside defense a bit as well as his workrate if that is how he is gonna be fighting. Personally I'd rather see a 60/40 mix of his boxing vs inside fighting. He would be flattening guys left and right if he mixed the two styles together, and would be taking less punishment.

    :risas3: that's how I know you're a virgin. You actually think you're getting to people over the internet by spending hundreds of hours of your life digging through people's post history. But hey, this isn't a reality you want to face so keep believing what you want ;) .

    Of course Rigo can still move :lol:. He still has his speed, crazy power, and his punch resistance was impressive the other night too. Fighting Ceju the way he did was obviously intentional.
