Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux Knocks Out Kokietgym In One, Sparks Debate

[joesaiditstrue]

It's a fight. If you're not ready for your opponent to take your head off, he'll take it off. The ref clearly motioned to continue and the guy wasn't ready. That's his fault, not Rigo's.

There's a reason 99% of fighters don't punch their opponent during an attemp to touch gloves, it's called sportsmanship

Rigo doesn't need to win like that unless he felt that some shady **** was about to go down

It really didn't look that bad. Not nearly as blatant as the Mayweather KO. The Mayweather cheap shot was retaliation of another blatant foul. This just looked like Rigondeaux not wanting to waste any time to get back to work.

When Khan went to touch gloves with Maidana when they came out after the first bell, Maidana didn't give a fuck and threw a wild overhand right aimed at Khan's head. Don't be hypocrites, people. This is a ruthless sport, and Rigo's seen it all.

On one hand you've got a bunch of bloodthirsty ghouls baying for Mayweather to die in the ring and cheering on Maidana for roughing up and fouling him, but when Rigo or Mayweather get a little bit ruthless, get a bit nasty, they're called bad sportsmen.

Just watched the fight, that was pretty funny of Rigo.

dont need no one to "jump in and help ya". Bias for cotto? no just stating the obvious like before. henry bruseles, sharmba mitchell, carlos baldomir are a bunch of nobody's. Fought them instead of top competition. Next excuse. and yea I dont like mayweather for him being a fraud and a coward.

I left my reply on the other page. Its time to put an end to you broski! Nothing personal just boxing talk ya diggy!!

[QUOTE=MurkaMan;14777744]Respond to my whole comment. You hate Floyd and I understand that and no matter what you just wont accept the fact that some of the things said about Floyd is not true.

Ducked margarito and fought judah instead. Ducked margarito a second time and turned down the 8 mill and fought baldomir instead for 8 mill. Not cuz of de la hoya. He still couldve fought margarito and then de la hoya. nope he ducked margarito a 3rd time and fought de la hoya at a higher weight class for more money. Ducked P williams at 147 and chose to fight 140 lb champ ricky hatton at 147 lbs limit. Called out, signed contract fight to fight winky wright, pulled out of the fight and ducked him to fight sharmba mitchell (the same mitchell that knocked his uncle out). "In 2007-08, Cotto was the next best welterweight in the world behind Mayweather. A thrilling fighter during his 140lbs title run, he had moved up in weight and easily disposed of Quintana, smashed the over-matched Urkal, stopped Judah and then beaten a resurgent Mosley in an excellent bout. He was by any definition the most deserving fighter to face Mayweather and, with the rabid Puerto Rican fans behind him, he was a legitimate superstar who brought serious financial clout as well. There was no reason for the bout not to be made. But Mayweather instead signed for a pointless rematch with De La Hoya.

Seemingly this wasn't the end of the world for the bout. After all, Mayweather would surely beat De La Hoya and Cotto only had to get through Alfonso Gomez (which he did with ease) and then the two would match up. It was obvious. Then Mayweather "retired" instead of taking the second De La Hoya bout."

And yet you still back mayweather? Please stop seeing things with your eyes wide shut.

Because its not like Arum to try and hand fighters losses in the last fights of their contract is it?

Don't tell me your sig is a shot at Canelo? The guy just fought Trout, Mayweather, Angulo, and Lara...give him a break. And this "break" is Miguel Cotto, The Ring champ at 160. Which is not a break by any stretch. But give the guy a break from having to fight these risky, slick fighters. You guys wanted Canelo to fight Trout and Lara, he fought them. That's enough. Andrade should get in line in the sense that he needs to get his name out there by beating a worthy opponent before a big pay day with Canelo. Canelo had to go through Trout to get Mayweather, for instance.

[Skip Bayless]

protect yourself at all times, why the fu%k is he wanting to touch gloves after getting up anyway? and ref was crap he should have given the guy some time to recover from the head clash

Rigo had already claimed Arum was trying to rob him before. I think before the Marroquin fight.
