I was giving Donaire the rounds where he was landing the odd harder shot. Dont think one of the judges did that though.
TBH, i'm disappointed in the result, I was expecting to see the Cuban "amateur" get his 'jackel' ass kicked. I'm not about to become a fan anytime soon.
You've got to give Rigo credit, he negated Donaire's power with his slick defense and countered well all night. With the exception of the KD in the 10th round, Donaire's punches were for the most part ineffective.
Nice you give him credit mate, by why the never going to be a fan comment?

Well Im more a fan after yesterday, he seems like a nice fellow too, I dont care what nick name they give him. Are you thinking of Carlos the Jackel enemy of the western free world?

Those punches would have been effective on anyone else in that weight class,
Rigo was dissolving them into nothing and evading with movements that some other people (not you MArs) here dont think was good boxing

Just cause he broke distance occasionally which broke up Donaires timing up as well!! Shit guys, thats exactly what boxing is about too .

Just cause someone moves forward with one intention doesnt earn them points unless they dominate; outscore the other and are not getting countered.

(Its harder to evade and counter than it is to move forward with one intention). ,And that isnt dictating the fight! That is stupidity and Donaire admitted it himself.
