Donaire vs. Rigondeaux - Saturday night fight/chat thread

[ICB]

Fair decision.

[Beanflicker]

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.

[Beanflicker]

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.

Honestly, I thought Donaire was going to blitz Rigon who turned out to be anything but an overrated amateur as a Pro. Great offensive and defensive performance by Rigon, Donaire couldn't find him the whole night and the KD was more of a fluke then anything.

I'd love to see the rematch.

I can't see a rematch happening. I don't see any top fighter wanting to fight Rigo really as either he'll make them look bad or the public won't have a big demand for it. Its a shame, as I think Donaire could do much better in a rematch.

A big part of Donaire's problem was finding Rigo with punches, he's excellent at hitting and not being hit. So because of this, you've got to wonder if Donaire would do better in a rematch.

[p4pking]

Yeah, that KD looked kinda lucky seeing it the second time around. They had just sort of turned each other out of a clinch and Donaire got a really wide shot in. It connected big though and Rigondeaux was a beast to get right back up like that.

Hello Andre my friend,

Back to the fight,if Rigo won convincingly as many of you thought, were you excited about the fight?

How come people booed Rigo for not getting into the fight?

It wasn't Donaires fault, who keep chasing RIGO who doesnt want to fight.

If all fights are like this, im done with boxing.

Was not directed at you but generally in forums. At least you acknowledged the points of others leading up to the fight in discussion. The people booing made me chuckle. Crippled in drunken misery because they had to sit through a boxing match.

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

Gee I had fun seeing what they were thinking and trying out, I thought it very technical and interesting to see the risk rewards being taken and had by both with their different styles.

Some of the so so fans will say Rigo ran (how can he win) but he was moving stopping catching Donaire clean but not with as much power as Donaire could muster at times.

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