    What happened? I flipped to the real card.
    Did Rigo pit on another "****" Geometry lesson???

    He pitty patty to a 12 rnd. Against a guy like Agbeko he should have taken some risk cause Agbeko had no answer and shouldn't have even been in the ring with him.

    Didn't watch the broadcast but this is my thought on Rigo and HBO. Back when HBO was dominating they had one mantra....to ensure that the best talent was on HBO. Period. Full stop. End of story. And if the guy wasn't the most entertaining the would find a way to market him so that people would still be interested in his fights. Roy jones is the perfect example "......not in competative fights, roy?.....how 'bout you say some crazy **** and go make a rap album roy....", that worked. No one is saying HBO should be making Rigo their poster child and getting him on the air 5 times a year.....but get the guy one every once and a while, figure out how to make him interesting and celebrate the **** out of the guy when you get a chance to display his talent.......

    If you heard the interview he does not give a fuxx what people think about his style it's TR job to find another contender he got one more fight with TR I'm sure GB will love to offer him a contract is money to be made with Mares and Santa Cruz.

    You can only hype a guy so much but in the end the boxer has to deliver to the average viewer. People forget this is a business. The money is with the casual viewer. When boxing fans that pay to see you at ringside are leaving just imaging all he TV viewers who just flip the channel.

    Only fight at Super Bantamweight I'd be interested in seeing him in at this stage.

    Although thinking about it, wouldn't mind seeing Rigondeaux vs. Shinsuke Yamanaka. :deal

    Rigo make Hopkins and Ward look like entertainers. Plus, he is not learning English. How can he be marketable?
