The hate for Rigondeaux is laughable

[dan_cov]

lol at the irony and the whining. TS always bash donaire, calling him an overrated hype job, and now he's crying when someone slights rigo?

I think more overrated than a hypejob. It shows to with just how many aren't even giving Rigondeaux a chance.

He is a good fighter but IMO he has been facing opposition to make him look better than he is. You've gotta realise Rigondeaux is not going to be ploughing forward throwing wild hooks without a care in the world for defense.

It's not hating just because someone doesn't agree with you that he will destroy Donaire.

It's a damn near 50-50 fight in the thread with the poll about this fight. A lot of people are giving him a great chance.

Kahren Harutyunyan it was.

And that is actually true; he was hurt numerous times to body and head by a fat, tiny, light punching Conception and was literally running.

Here is a highlight video

to be fair donaire was probably outweighed by 10+ lbs in this fight....

That win over Rico Ramos is looking pretty damn great right about now.

Ramos loss was up at 126 to a pretty decent prospect, he is not a Featherweight!

He destroyed Ramos, won every round, dropped him several times and stopped him in only his 9th pro fight.

It was and is a good win over a top 10 former world champion.

I'm not saying you are lying but I seen a poll and Rigondeaux hardly had a vote. Can you link this?

Does he really look like he has a 10lb weight disadvantage?

139 votes for Donaire to 105 Rigondeaux, 57%-43% Donaire. And that's up about 3% from yesterday, it was 54-46 Donaire yesterday. Maybe more people are voting for Donaire now that its official, but its still a very close fight in this site's opinion.

I'm not paying much attention to any of the 'hater' comments, about either fighter.

It's a great fight and I'm looking forward to that. I do however, see Donaire touching the canvas and Rigondeaux winning. Rigo, for me, is simply too skilled.

Here is the one I seen and a few others. Strange how one is quite split on the fight and the other is Donaire by a landslide.
