Donaire vs. Rigondeaux - Saturday night fight/chat thread

[IamInuit]

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.

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!

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

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

How can anyone continue to call it 'the sweet science' if they cant see and appreciate great footwork?
I'd probably give up watching too.

You do know the greatest boxer of all time once won a round clean without throwing one shot dont you?

This was far from that; evade and catch was the most of what was going on, there was some moments of total disengagement, but they didnt last very long.

Honestly I recon some people allow what they dislike to dominate what they see by their feelings and some allow what they like to dominate how they feel and what they then can see.

Those Filipino fans that were booing,were booing cause they wanted a phone booth style fight their larger stronger fighter could win. Not cause they know or appreciate good boxing,those fans were enjoying it.
