Donaire vs. Rigondeaux - Saturday night fight/chat thread

[ICB]

Something wrong with Donaire's eye he's holding that glove too close.

[ICB]

I had it 8-4 with Rigo, and that's only because he was less active in some rounds. He was probably still technically winning the rounds.

Barring a robbery Donaire got outclassed Pernell Whitaker style.

[ICB]

Rigo gonna get robbed.

[ICB]

Fair decision.

The fact that a PROFESSIONAL boxing judge could watch that fight and think Rigondeaux only won by a point is scary. Sweet Jesus. Julie Lederman's scorecard is the most generous you could possibly score it.

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.

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.

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!!!! Ray

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

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.

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

Great fight. Not sure how one judge got it 116 to 111 though when the guy with 111 had a 10-8 knock down scored in favor for himself ?
Great result.
