You can tell RIgo felt kinda bad afterwards he pulled the trigger a bit too fast after the glove tap. I have a feeling he had the knockout in his mind really bad even as he was walking back to the middle, and maybe didn't like the accidental headbutt either. For someone with such a long amateur career that was a mighty pro move from him

Guillermo Rigondeux made a major statement in what is likely his final fight with Top Rank, one that will have fans talking for weeks to come.

For once, talks won't center around his latest fight lacking action and drama, though it doesn't necessarily mean the conversation will carry a positive vibe.

The defending World 122 lb. champion scored a 1st round knockout of Sod Kokietgym, Saturday evening (local time) at the Venetian Macao in Macau, China. The manner in which the ending was produced drew parallels of Floyd Mayweather's 4th round knockout of Victor Ortiz nearly three years ago, sparking the debate where the line exists between protecting yourself at all times and landing a sucker punch.

Just as I said after the ortiz fight, if you call it a cheap shot this sport isn't for you, and you don't know boxing, period. There is no explaining to do.

WAR RIGO!!

Whats the complaint? Don't hit me I am distracted?


Nothing like Floyd.

Floyd acted like he was accepting Ortiz s ridiculous apologies. Rigo walked in like he meant business.

Either way both legal and fine.

The Thai fighter was the one doing the extending all scared like. Rigo wasnt in a good mood after the headbutt he might have actually thrown a right at the dudes attempt to shake hands and thats why he put his hands up .

After watching this I cant help it but feel sorry for the guy. That WAS dirty. Lol

With that said, nothing illegal about it. I didnt like it when Floyd did it and I didnt like it now. Why? Cause it left me unsatisfied. Both fights couldve been way more enjoyable.

All of them. Ortiz was ranked #2, Mosley was ranked #3 I believe or higher, Ghost was ranked top 3, Canelo was ranked #1 I believe. Cotto was shot to me.

And btw, Floyd aint no damn coward LOL You just hate him and you have made it very clear.

"I believe or higher", canelo? Floyd barely fights at 154. Now I know you have no idea what you are talking about. I said to name the ones without moving up or down weight. Guerrero? hahahahahhahha hes ass the only reason he got the fight cuz he beat hype job berto. Cotto had a different trainer and was a different style of fighter when mayweather fought him, not the same body punching miguel cotto that made him a beast at 140-147 lbs.

What's dirty about it?

Guy wasn't quick enough to stop a punch he should be expecting .

I am just sad this might be t he last time I see RiGod in a while.

Rigo is a beauty

You got to protect yourself in that ring at all times, don't leave it or wait for the referee to protect you, protect yourself first.

[RA-Box]

I don't see anything controversial at all. They walked up to each other and just resumed fighting. That looked like the classic Rigo lazy setup jab. Fighters usually don't get that close to tap gloves.

The Ref though, wow, just terrible. Not enough time for the Thai fighter to recover from the butt and waved the fight off early as well.

[Cuban Linx]

I'm lit upset that Rigo would take this route. Someone with his class, having won two gold medals, shouldn't try to win this way. Especially against an already overmatched opponent that he could have taken out whenever he wanted.
