Donaire vs. Rigondeaux - Saturday night fight/chat thread

[Mars_ax]

Rigo has the edge in raw speed.[/B] Donaire is the smarter puncher. Boxing skills is what this fight is about. Rigo is just as fundamentally sound as Donaire. I think they are probably similar in power regardless of Donaires highlight reel ko's of Darchinyan and Montiel etc. Donaire most definitely has the pro edge including the main stage.

Raw Speed? I don't think so, they don't call Donaire "the Filipino flash" for nothing. As for Rigon's boxing skills being on a paar with Donaire's, you've got to be kidding, how could you know that? Rigon has only had 11 pro fights against mediocre competition, there's a big difference in amateur boxing skills and those that you need as a pro.

@IamInuit -Are you picking Rigon to win?

I think so.

Yes I'm taking Rigo in a perceived upset of the year. I'm not betting money on it and may take Donaire in various boxing forum challenges.

Is this some Donaire hating? I just see the chance of Rigon upsetting Donaire as a big long shot, granted i'm a Donaire fan, and Rigon does have a puncher chance.

Wtf Donaire hating? I said that I think Rigo is faster then he is.

OK, my bad, I know there's some Donaire haters around, or at least some who think that Donaire is overrated, just checking. Being a Filipino sometimes puts a target on your back.
