In a bout where the two fighters established a CompuBox record for the fewest total punches landed (91) in a 12-round fight, debating the judges' scoring in Saturday's WBO bantamweight title clash is challenging. Defending champion John Riel Casimero, in a split decision, managed to retain his belt against former unified 122-pound titleholder Guillermo Rigondeaux. Despite the clarity in identifying the superior boxer, Rigondeaux's frustrating career was succinctly encapsulated in that night.

Hailing from Cuba with two Olympic gold medals, Rigondeaux is widely regarded as one of the greatest amateur boxers in the sport's history. However, his professional journey has been marked by missed opportunities, despite a glossy record that now stands at 20-2. Rigondeaux's reluctance to throw enough punches has hindered him, leading to challenges with promoters and networks. The bout against Casimero echoed this pattern as Rigondeaux allowed his Filipino opponent to outland him 47-44. Yet, this statistic fails to capture the essence of the 12-round contest, where Rigondeaux, displaying superior skill, consistently made Casimero miss with exaggerated moves, evading without sustaining damage.

The scoring of the fight and the lack of social media outrage following the lackluster bout seemingly signaled a collective relief within the sport to move on from "The Jackal." However, the fairness of this sentiment is questionable in a sport that seldom adheres to fairness. While it might be asserted that Rigondeaux, as the challenger, didn't do enough offensively to claim the title, this notion is a myth rather than an accurate reflection of how boxing matches are scored.

The five-point judging criteria includes defense and ring generalship, attributes Rigondeaux demonstrated abundantly on Saturday. Despite landing fewer punches overall, he was the only one landing clean shots regularly. Effective aggression is another scoring criterion, and neither fighter exhibited it. Casimero, although coming forward, did not display effective aggression beyond the first round. Rigondeaux, showcasing a master class of hitting and not getting hit, illustrated his elite status in the weight class, even though his style attracts criticism.

However, Rigondeaux's unique skill set may be quickly forgotten, and the chance of unification fights against Naoya Inoue or a rematch with Nonito Donaire seems elusive. Boxing remains unchanged, with Casimero emerging fortunate, fans departing annoyed, and Rigondeaux's artistry misunderstood, largely due to his own choices. In the world of boxing, seasons change, but the fundamentals remain constant.
