I know I’m part of a very small minority but I really think that what this little Cuban does is kind of an art, sometimes apparently boring but anyway in several deeper aspects amazing to watch. For instance he made a world class boxer miss by a mile many times in an almost embarrassing way. I have to concur that, probably, he didn’t do enough to steal a belt from a champion but 1) Robert Hoyle’s card 117-111 means 9 rounds for Casimero and that is in my opinion kind of a travesty 2) this is proffessional entertainment boxing and in that mainstream sense Rigondeaux has very little to offer but kudos to him and his subtle mastery of this sport 3) Have a look at the fans score https://boxrec.com/en/scoring/2668237 We are few but I’m not alone ;-P
