    What makes it really bad was Rigo's constand trash talking before the fight, and he is a dirty fighter as well, Tim Bradley warned Lomachenko about Rigo's dirty fighting before the fight. Rigo could not get away with his dirty fighting like SOB Ward does, three low blows to Kovalev's testicles and judges cheating for him in the first fight, but SOB had the full support of the referee, judges and boxing, not to mention HBO.................however, HBO lost money on SOB's two fights, serves them right! Roc Nation could not protect Rigo like they did SOB!

    Almost as easy as Wilder vs Stirverne part 2.
    At least Tua went 12 rounds with Lewis, that in itself isn't easy. Too add to that, Tua was getting hit throughout the rounds by heavyweight champion power. 12 rounds of getting beat up but never quitting like Rigondeaux did, deserves some small credit but not, "poor attempt". As mentioned before, Stirvernes one round KO loss to Wilder where he landed no punches is a poor attempt.

    Rigo conned everyone and they bought it hook, line and sinker. Think they would have learned after Russell Jr and Walters.
