Rigondeaux: Best Performance of 2013

[DannYankee]

Fk them all, the cream always rises to the top. All the fanboys have left is try to turn into boxing amateur promoters and cry about **** that dnt matter cause they know Rigo will embarrass them again and again if they keep picking against him as he so already did with Donaire which is what got them butthurt in the first place.

[Ringlife]

That was one hell of a performance by Rigondeaux against Donaire.

[Check_hooks]

Rigos performance against Donaire was just ok

He lost several rounds and got dropped

Pacquiao's performance vs Rios was a "masterclass" performance. He won every round and Rios couldn't hurt him or even touch him

Stat-wise Rigondeaux is the best pure boxer in the sport with the best overall defense.

His opponents land 5 punches a round on average; enough said.

Bull*****...Money is the best pure boxer and unlike El Chacel (who is a good boxer) he's never been dropped officially by a punch.


How does he have the best overall defense when he was dropped in his second to last fight.

How can you compare those fights!?!?!?! Rios has to look at the p4p list from a telescope from another planet while Nonito was top 5 in it when he fought Rigondeaux. Equivalent in quality to Rios would be the Agbeko win and that was a literal shutout on all 3 scorecards.

Everybody knows that Donaire was the 2012 FOTY, while Rios... Was he even ranked in the division he fought Manny?

[New England]

The complete shutout of an ex-champ in Agbeko merits more credit.

not really. agbeko basically came out of retirement. he was back in ghana, and had taken all of 2012 off. he didn't even try to win.

he looked like absolute garbage in training, if you know what you're looking at.



i've got no issues with somebody giving rigondeaux the FOTY award, just don't put too much stock into his agbeko win. if rigondeaux won FOTY, it was off of the strength of the donaire shutout. agbeko was probably 10th or later on the depth chart of opponents. he wasn't a contender, and the meaningful part of his career was spent at 118.

Many fighters come off dry spells and long lay offs. Does that mean they are any less of a fighter? Look at the guy in your avi, he did pretty well in his last performance no? Why is Agbeko being made to look like cannon fodder?
