Donaire vs. Rigondeaux - Saturday night fight/chat thread

[IamInuit]

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.

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.

You've got to hand it to Rigondeaux. The smalle rguy was by far the better boxer. His chin stood up to being knocked down as well. Not the greatest action fight to watch but a great boxing match.

Rigon isn't someone i'd like to see fight again, if for no other reason then that mouthful of gold teeth is disgusting to look at, and that "jackel" shit is just plain sickening.

Before tonight Arum was saying if Donaire wins he would fight Juan Ma next in PR. But now Rigondeaux won who the hell does either guy fight next? Can't see HBO paying for a rematch. From a Top Rank promotional point of view the wrong guy won tonight. It's going to be interesting to see who these guys fight next if Arum can't sell HBO the rematch.

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.
