Re: Donaire vs. Rigondeaux - Saturday night fight/chat thread
Missed it, but doesn't sound like it was competitive. Any of you fellas want to see a rematch?

Donaire hasn't looked good vs boxers in past though, i remember that Argentian boxer giving him problems early on and making him look bad. Its just he threw virtually no punches in the 2nd half of the fight.

Congrats to Rigon, he fought a great fight, we have a new Cuban superstar. :rolleyes:
Did you see a headbutt ?
It turned out to be a Rigon left hand on the eye.

All the rounds I saw were close. I could see Donaire winning a rematch.
Re: Donaire vs. Rigondeaux - Saturday night fight/chat thread
We are really on a good run of 'the right guy' getting wins on the cards so far this year..
Re: Donaire vs. Rigondeaux - Saturday night fight/chat thread
Donaire is pure class, I feel bad for the guy.
Re: Donaire vs. Rigondeaux - Saturday night fight/chat thread
I know people are gonna say ooohh he was distracted, took it for granted, didn't train, was injured, blah blah blah.
I say bullshit. Rigondeaux is slick as grease and Donaire couldn't handle it.

Right bud. He fell in love with his power and press I saw too...he looked totally unmotivated and hungry
Re: Donaire vs. Rigondeaux - Saturday night fight/chat thread
Judges cards too close. Rigo by far the winner. Donaire looked lost.

So many people on forums laughing at the notion that Rigo was faster then Donaire or just as fast. He made Donaire look like a sloth.
Re: Donaire vs. Rigondeaux - Saturday night fight/chat thread
I'm just glad no one will suddenly scream hype job for Donaire, this is what happens when two really great boxers fight, one will lose.
Re: Donaire vs. Rigondeaux - Saturday night fight/chat thread
All credit to Rigon, he erased all doubts about being just an overrated cuban amateur, Donaire was hitting air just about all night, and getting caught with beautiful counters.
I don't however believe i'm going to become a fan of the "jackel" anytime soon. :-\
Re: Donaire vs. Rigondeaux - Saturday night fight/chat thread
I had Rigo on top 10 to 2 personally I found the majority of the rounds extremely boring. Rigo simply is not an action fighter he's a counter move counter punch boxer that simply is not a big draw! You can say its beautifull boxing but he doesn't do enough for me!!! Its like a remake of Wilfred Benetez or a Jimmy Young although he's a superior boxer to both of them. He actually makes Mayweather look like an "action fighter", imagine that!!!! ;D Ray

Agree. No excuses for him. Its who he is fight time that matters. Rigo was a clear level above

Donaire is good. But some people saying he is the p4p contender got slightly ahead of themselves.
