At least no one is going to be that stupid to think Rigo belongs in the ring with Donaire. He was BADLY hurt a number of times by a guy who is not a puncher....Donaire ICES him. Donaire would never let him hold for dear life.

that number is 2 and he was never hurt badly enough to fall. Don't let commentators gas you they will send you off unless you mute the broadcast.

Rigondeaux looked horrible. I'd like to see Santa Cruz expose him. Donaire shouldn't even be mentioned.

I didn't see it, but I don't like the way the write-up reads. It definitely sounds like Rigo needs some work. Maybe now Nonito will fight him. lol

Rigo sure knows how to stink up a joint! I just don't like his style....ugh

[Silencers]

Considering everything Rigondeaux has been through in the lead up to this fight, is it surprising for him to have such a bad performance? I mean he didn't even know he was going to be able to fight until a few days ago.

Lets all remember Mayweather was stunned against Demarcus Corley. I still believe Donaire vs Rigo needs to happen but I'll admit I'm leaning more towards Donaire now.

The word was that he never stopped training. I agree that he might not have been 100% focused, but it doesn't completely explain an unimpressive performance. Like I said, I haven't seen the fight, but I have a feeling I'm not gonna like it when I do.

Rigo didn't look very impressive.

He won widely, but not very impressively IMO.
