Donaire vs. Rigondeaux - Saturday night fight/chat thread

[DavilaJones]

think it was +210 for Rigo, either 210 or 220.

This fight would have gone the other way around, some round are dull you can give it to either boxer, Doinaire have the k.o., it could have decisided either way.

It was a close fight but i got bored to death with Rigo.

The thing, he landed hard punches too and did out land Donaire in every round but the KD round. I have to agree with Leaderman on this one, I don't always but I just did not see how Donaire won more than one. But I might have tunnel vision as I did bet on Rigo. I will watch the fight next week again.

You won a few bucks then?

Great fight. Donaire got a boxing lesson. They had a mid size ring and Donaire could still not cut the ring off. He had Rigo moving the right way but was just out fought. The reason Donaire looked so one dimensional was because from the opening bell he was looking to land the highlight reel punch and Rigo summed it up best in the post fight interview.

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.

[DavilaJones]

Really? It was exciting as hell for me to watch. the feigned jab turned into hooks, I do have one thing to say. I am totally amazed Donaire never landed a singled right uppercut. Was he out of position or Rigo too far out? From the TV angel it looked like he could easily land one.

My thoughts, Donaire got a boxing lesson end of. The fight was never close. I didn't see one round where I thought, Donaire took that one because.....insert any reason here. The obvious exception was the round with the knockdown, but Rigo was completely back in control within 20 seconds of getting back up.

I got this one in my predictions, I thought Rigo would control easy and then Donaire would flatten him late. But Rigo never gave that opportunity to him and Donaire never pressed for it.

It shocked me to see 1 out of 5 voters on the poll they had going saying that Nonito won! On what criteria are they basing that on? He was not effective, not aggressive, not defensive, not the ring general.

Won $700 tonight and I'm kinda proud of myself that in my first post in fight predictions was pretty close to what transpired here. I'm gonna put 500 on Trout to win again, he made me a grand last time...God I turned to a degenerate gambler. Damn you school and your expensive books!

If you were a Doanaire fan, what's so exciting about it, i was one of the many fans who booed the fight when you are very excited watching Rigo back-pedalled and not being hit.

[Onix]

Thank you Rigo!

Sheeeeeeeeppp!? I saw thee

On a random note Donaire should go up to 122 and beat the shit outta a rebounding Billy Dib, just for kicks

I'd say Amir Khan back paddles, Rigo was on the outside and turning but perhaps that's a moot point. I can see your meaning though. I hated Marquez vs Mayweather fight, it just saddened me. I hated watching Jones Tarver II. I only stomached watching Sweete Pete vs Chavez once.

I'm always game to see Dib get a beat down.

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.

Nice. I don't bet as I don't have the disposable cash. I saw the earlier posts. Good hunch on Trout however keep in mind that its in Texas and Trout may not get a decision there

[DavilaJones]

Well Sexy Sergio did, so I'm hoping it will carry over. Haha that's why its gambling.
