Guillermo Rigondeaux vs. John Riel Casimero - August 14, 2021

[margaret thatcher]

lol, guy lands an all time low of punches over 12 rounds, and dudes think it was a robbery

[DrDuke]

I had the spoiler a bit ahead, but that definitely wasn't a robbery.

[DrDuke]

Only if those two f*ckers robbed the fans of a boxing match.

Team Casimero's trash talk about the situation is overblown sometimes, because following Rigo around the ring all night only to land about one punch per minute on him was not a great look for their guy either. It reminds me of when baseball players complain about how the guy they're facing is just throwing junk. It's like, well, if it's such junk, why don't you just clobber a few of those pitches out of the park and make him stop throwing it? Of course Rigo was going to keep doing what he was doing -- but for boring the hell out of everyone, it was pretty much working.

Cas didn’t even try to adjust one bit.

He looked silly.

[squiggy]

Absolutely silly! They should have both lost.

[ldlamb]

Absolutely silly! They should have both lost.

This is the correct answer

it wasnt working well enough for rigo, he needed to up the output to win it, casi didnt. so 'doing what he was doing' just got rigo a big L

rigo literally set the record for fewest punches landed over 12 rounds. he mustve broken track records too. it was a beyond abysmal running performance, far worse than what casi did, and was no surprise he didnt get awarded the W for it. it might be the most negative ive ever seen a wworld class fighter.....made wlad v fury and haye v valuev look like wars

Wow. I haven't watched it (thankfully) but I'm constantly surprised at how much some people praise negativity. There comes a point where you are actually not fighting and this should be penalized, in my opinion.

[margaret thatcher]

the most hilarious thing is that rigo set the all time record for fewest punches landed over 12 rounds (and almost half of those were jabs), he ran literally non stop, and still some people say he was robbed and are trying to blame casimero for it all casimero coulda done more, sure , but he still threw almost double the power shots that rigo did and 80 more shots overall. making it out like it was some equally mutual non-punching deal is silly

ya, i know in the ams there used to be regular warnings and even deductions for 'failure to engage'

[ldlamb]

But they landed essentially the same…I don’t really give credit for missed punches.

Casimero stunk….if Rigo had thrown 5 more punches a round he probably would have won….Rigo stinks for that as well.

[margaret thatcher]

casimero landed more and threw much more. it wasnt remotely even when it came to who was trying to fight. if rigo had actually threw some more punches im sure casimero would've upped his own output too, and then the fight would've been better

but as it happened, casi was the one doing what he needed to do, not rigo. rigo was especially stupid for not considering that being so negative and constantly on the backfoot would be frowned upon by the judges, especially when rounds lacked many notable moments. obviously its a bad look to do what he did to such an extreme extent. simply by coming forward and working more, casimero was doing what he needed to get the edge against an opponent fighting like that.

he tried harder and was less of an idiot. he deservedly won and is far less to blame for the fight being a dud. if rigo had doubled his power output to match casi's, im sure it wouldve been much better to watch. maybe then rigo wouldnt have taken that L....or maybe he would've left himself more open to being caught.

[margaret thatcher]

sounds like he's happy just showing that he wont be ko'd

[Ruthless-RKO]

Yeh. He was dropped by that huge Jap fella in a title defence.

Donaire floored him too didn’t he?

Maybe he does have a solid chin, shouldn’t he fight more aggressive then.

[margaret thatcher]

maybe deep down he wants to be a uk journeyman, with 100 losses but none of them by ko

[DrDuke]

Yeah, he quits earlier, than you KO him.

[gregregegg]

Yeah, he quits earlier, than you KO him.

The connor mcgregor technique. (except he fucked it last fight).

Problem isn’t his chin, it’s his heart. Let’s not forget he blatantly quit against Loma the moment he started getting tagged.

[Ruthless-RKO]

[DrDuke]

He wasn't fair to boxing too.

[squiggy]

casimero landed more

All of three more. Forty-seven, over 12 rounds. It must be acknowledged, his performance also sucked.

and 13 more power shots lol!

sure casi wasnt great either obviously, but he certainly tried harder to win, and he was the one doing what he needed to--pressing and working more to edge rounds with little happening. casi was being blamed and it was suggested that rigo kept doing what he was doing because it was working....uh nah it wasnt, that's what got him that fat L bruh

if they'd both fought like casimero, which means rigo doubling his power shots and standing his ground, it wouldve been a better fight. if casimero had lowered his output by about 100 punches and ran non stop to match rigo, it wouldve been worse

rigo was definitely the stinkier of the 2 and gets an L as his well earned reward

[ldlamb]

Power shots…is any landed punch other than a jab….often they aren’t “powerful” at all…and have less effect than a good stiff jab….that distinction isn’t meaningless, but in this fight, almost.

[margaret thatcher]

eh, either way, he landed more, he threw much more, he fought harder, came forward, and did what he needed to do for the win. none of that can be said of the other guy. rigo was stinkier and got dat L for it.

rigo was supposed to be some ring genius, but instead was a big dumb dumb by thinking he didnt need to make any adjustments and that he'd get the benefit in rounds like that. but on the bright side, he did win some new honours -- all time track meet champ! all time low punch connect champ! oh the accolades
