It was a stinker of a fight that saw less than 50 punches landed by each boxer, thanks largely to Rigondeaux’s elusive style. “My expectation is a knockout, my fans want a knockout but Rigo always ran,” said Casimero on the ring afterwards. The 40-year-old Rigondeaux used the ring to his benefit as he kept running away from a constantly stalking Casimero, who likewise struggled to land anything significant. The atrocious fight saw just 47 punches landed by the defending champion and 44 by the challenger. The win improved Casimero’s record to 31-4 (21 KOs), while Rigondeaux dropped to 20-2 (13 KOs).
