All too often fighters wait until the 10th or 11th round to try and seize the momentum by being more aggresive. Nonito just couldn't figure Rigo out. Also... Nonito's corner must've been hallucinating when he said he thought the fight was 3-3 halfway through.

Its hilarious to me that Garcia spent his time with Rios who never changed a lick in the second Alvarado fight and supposedly trained Donaire by phone. At this level wtf!? Its still Donaires fault for believing in his own hype and possibly believing he did not need a trainer in camp.
I'm just going to give my overall rating because I don't care enough to break anything down.
3/10. At best. I know Rigo has a ton of skill, but - to echo Dan Rafael, I don't like to watch dull fights where one guy essentially runs, pot-shots, and refuses to engage. It's boring.
Was not boring to me at all and Fat Dan is an idiot gossip reporter who has no clue about actual boxing. According to him if its not in a phone booth ending with a highlight reel ko its not a boxing match. He's a pin head if he thought Rigo was going to stand there and give Donaire a chance to land the power shot he wanted to from the opening bell. This is boxing 101 shit. Rigo fought a tactical smart fight. He boxed and moved and stayed out of harms way while schooling his opponent using pugilistic skill and ring smarts.
Id rate it 7/10 cause I like evasion that makes bigger fighters look stupid.
Thats just my point of view.
I cant wait to see my parents who are in their eighties and give them this fight to watch.
They watch more fights than all of you (cause they got the time too) and have racked up more than most in their many years, they love all kinds of boxing so it will be interesting,Ill keep you posted on that one, Im handing it to them on Tuesday and not saying a word.;)
Surprise at result: 5 on win. 10 on judges not robbing Rigo.
Skill level of Rigo: Compared? 10
Skill level of Donaire: See above. 4
Interest in rematch: 0
Overall excitement: Booze brought it up to a 4
Boxing commentary: 0. But I always love Max correcting Jim Limpley.
That was nice to hear about your parents. Both my parents are long gone, and neither were fight fans, but I would have loved to introduce them to an iPhone or an iPad.Quote:

U shouldnt watch a fight on Mute, sometimes hearing the punch land tells you more then seeing the punch. Possibly a reason for your dodgy scorecards;DQuote:

Surprise at result.. 10 because I thought Donaire won.
Skill level of Rigo....8 yes he is very skilled and fast but content on landing that counter left hand.
Skill level of Donaire ....5 as Donaire should have adjusted and put more educated pressure and forced Rigo to engage and get out of his comfort zone.
Interest in rematch...1 do not want to see that fight again ever.
Overall excitement...5 I was not inteested at first but found out it was on free so became interested in it. 2 top fighters unifying titles is a good thing.
Boxing commentary...5 it may have persuaded me to support Donaire.
Just cause a few of you liked the idea ,Quote:

Both recon Rigo by a few rounds but were sort of bored in between the middle of the fight.
That would not be a good fight to introduce anyone to boxing. Could not think of a worse match up.
