    Probe with the jab and throw a left whenever the opponent moves in? Rigo has a limited ****nal, his technical ability is nowhere near the level of a Lomachenko or Gonzalez.

    Rigo can't figure out the boxrec #96 guy in the world.

    Agreed. He looks like he has lost a step or 2 and it's only going to get worse with age and inactivity.

    I think a good aggressive fighter would put Rigo out of his misery.

    It's limited but it's at an extremely high level.

    Perfect example of why I respect guys like Pac and Tyson so much more than these defensive dudes. Always waiting for the other guy to throw first. Make the fight, take a risk. Nope, they don't step out of their comfort zone.

    When you have a guy of Drian capability in front of you you KO the guy. Going 10 uneventful rnd with a can like Drian won't have people clamoring to watch any of Rigo's future fight.
