    Actually, I had Rigondaux by a much wider margin. I can't see (even after seen the fight a second time) how the judges can have seen it that close for 2 of them. The son of Cuban litterally danced his way around Donaire and Garcia just had no plans and no ideas about how to fix the whole thing. I suspect that some judges were biaized toward Donaire because he'll always sell much more than Rigo because of his flashy style.
    Bottom line; the fight pretty much happened the way I thought it would happen, as I wrote somewhere on this board just before the fight.

    This is why the judges had it so close. I've read a fair bit of crap in this thread about how Rigondeux dominated the fight. He did alot of running and for me, he didn't dominate. The key word is that he controlled the fight but in no way was he dominant. There were rounds were he did nothing but run and land the odd jab here and there and I didn't once think in the rounds I scored for Nonito that Rigo did anything effective. Rigondeux won the fight and that was clear, but some of those rounds were very close and you could argue for either man which is why some had it closer. Rigo just won more rounds clearly.

    Another bit of rubbish I read in here was that Nonito was overrated and was only successful because he beat up smaller guys. There are huge guys at higher weights who have no idea how to deal with a smaller opponent. Donaire has been the man to beat at Fly & Bantam and even Super-Bantam and to say he wasn't a World Class fighter does a disservice to the accomplishment that Rigondeux just pulled off.
