    Rigo fought like he always does. And he can't fight any other way. It works for him. It was not entertaining; because, his opponent was clueless as to how to land a punch. I bet people would have been excited if Rigo got dropped. You can't tell a guy who's done really nothing but win to take stupid risks in order to get an extra cheer or two. He needs to be matched better for a more entertaining fight.

    The highest available contender was stopped in a round by a guy who was dominated by a debutant?

    Wow...boxing really must be **** right now...

    ...or the match makers didn't have a ****ing clue...they could have had him in with a lower ranked but more reckless opponent

    cant blame Rigo for his style, if you like pure boxers Rigo is the man now Mayweather has gone, its his job to win the fight that's it, ppl respect that and enjoy this guy, he's a rare talent, P4P he is probably the best in the world if we are being honest

    His not p4p the best though, he looks like his aging and can only land 7 punches per round on a guy who was stopped by a journeyman in his last fight

    I Understand that Rigo is a pure boxer but dam to be a boxer you need to trow punches and land, I'm not paying to see a fighter avoid punches I want to see a fight, If He doesn't care about His fans or career He could go to hell and retired He will not be missed.

    If Rigo wants to be on TV he needs to get away from that amateur style of his. This is prize fighting, people only pay if you entertain.

    He's a lot more exciting when he's fighting someone nearer his level, like Donaire. I think this potential fight with Loma will be another one of his great fights. The Donaire fight was not boring!
