Drian Francisco had nothing going for him en route to a lopsided loss to world super bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux of Cuba Sunday (Manila time) at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

Rigondeaux, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, won the 10-round, non-title fight via unanimous decision with the two judges scoring a shutout, 100-90, and the other having it, 97-93.

The fight was a downright yawner with Rigondeaux’s defensive style setting the tone and Francisco failing to cut corners and give himself a chance to land.

Francisco (28-4-1, 21 knockouts), also couldn’t avenge the loss of its compatriot in Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire, who lost to Rigondeaux in 2013.

Rigondeaux stretched his undefeated streak to 16-0, 10 KOs.
