Did you hear his post fight interview
"Nishikoa, Mares, MAYBE Rigondeux, Arce"
"I definetly want Nishiko, then I'll move up to 126"
HAHA, this clown knows Rigondeux will mop the floor with him. This guy is way overated, over hyped, and one dimensional.
What a ridiculous thread with ridiculous posts. People are going far overboard with Rigondeaux. I want to see the fight, but I don't see how Donaire fighting Mares or Nishioka is some terrible option compared to Rigondeaux. It's the same damn thing, no matter which of them he fights.
iv'e said it b4!!! donaire has fought world champ after world champ for 14 consecutive fights, two ko of the year and an upset of the year, since he beat darchinyan in 2007, yes 2007, over five years ago he has fought in consecutive world title fights...so how does a fighter that has had 10 fights with a paper title that he fought sum bum for, deserve to walk into a position donaire has fought his ass off for years to reach???? rigo don't deserve a shot and payday based on amature pedigree> seriously come on!!! if u was donaire u'd say the same...go and ****ing earn ur shot!!!!
Donaire losses to Rigo his people know it too he wont be fighting him or Mares is fighting nishioka and be done at 122
To be honest I think Rigo might be the smartest boxer in the game.....maybe even higher than Floyd.
When I watch Rigo it's like he has been in every scenario you could ever be in inside the boxing ring and has answer for everything you could throw at him. He isn't unbeatable, but he is a d@mn good fighter. If Donaire lost to him, which I'm not sure would happen, isn't a bad thing.
It seems like they crawled back into their own little hole.
Would be funny if Mares and Rigo move up to 126 and Donaire dips out too. I could see it happening.
Mares is moving up for sure Rigo could stick around for a while
I want the Nonito apologists to try and break it down to me...because maybe i'm just not getting it.....
How is it not obvious that Nonito is ducking this dude? And don't give me the "Rigo doesn't bring anything to the table" s**t....he has a belt...the same way this no-name dude from a village in South Africa he just fought....
WV2, Mathebula & Nishioka....that's gonna be his 122 run??
It seems like they crawled back into their own little hole.
yep............rigo is not apart of the plans. (not now not ever)
