Interesting article on Donaire & his win.

yes! this is what the folks here saying that "donaire is ducking rigo" has been waiting for... that's a great article!!! :You_Rock_

Not a fan of Nonito and I think he beats Rigo but I still want to see the fight. Its clear for whatever reason he is ducking Rigo. Stopped reading after "lucky punch" it was clearly not a lucky punch.

By Lester Salvador Tonight we witnessed the Filipino Flash get exposed as an average fighter who just like his Filipino countryman Manny Pacquiao has been over-hyped by the media to be something they are not. Nonito beat an over the hill 37-year-old Toshiaki Nishioka with a lucky punch — a right hand in the 9th round. Nishioka couldn’t pull the trigger and was shot, and he still gave Nonito trouble. If Nonito was so great, like HBO and his fans hype him up to be, how come he kept missing punches on a guy who wasn’t throwing any punches? The Japanese guy showed that just like in the Jeffery Mathebula fight, Nonito cannot fight defensive fighters well, and in the mold of Manny Pacquiao they both get hyped up and praised even when they struggle against guys who are not really prime or world class anymore. Pacquiao struggled against old Shane Mosley who like Nishioka was a shell of himself, and Nonito was just lucky to get a TKO this time around, if that TKO never happened he would have just won another boring decision. It’s clear that Donaire is being moved in the same direction as Manny Pacquiao, by being fed cherry picked opponents and avoiding the best fighter in the division. Pacquiao avoids Floyd Mayweather and Nonito avoids Guillermo Rigondeaux. After the fight Donaire blatantly ducked Guillermo Rigondeaux claiming that Rigondeaux needs to build his name and get more fights to make him interested in that fight. What type of building does he have to do when Nonito isn’t exactly a draw himself, he could barely sell any tickets in his previous fight against Jeffery Mathebula and the only reason there were more people tonight was because the majority of those in attendance came to watch Brandon Rios fight Mike Alvarado in a real exciting blood and guts fight. Nonito doesn’t have any fans, so it’s clear he is ducking Guillermo Rigondeaux and the real boxing fans can see it. I think Nonito knows that he has no shot against Rigondeaux this is why he makes up some many excuses like Guillermo is too boring, or he doesn’t have a name, well he needs to look in the mirror because his last fights were fireworks and he doesn’t have a name either, he is not Manny Pacquiao, who at least has a huge fan base. The fans want to see Nonito Donaire vs. Guillermo Rigondeaux and it’s an easy fight to make since they are both under Top Rank, but it’s up to Nonito if he cares about the fans to tell Bob Arum to make the fight happen. stopped reading at the highlighted part..what a load of bullsh1t this article is..whoever wrote this is a big Pinoy hater..who the fu** is rigondeaux?? A guy who's had 10 or 11 pro fights and the last fight he's had he got rocked twice and went the distance against a nobody..yea yea now the nonito haters gonna come in and praise rigos sweet amateur record..GTFO here with that puzzy talk.

Lol dan cov knows he wrote that article. Either way Bishop is probably on the downside of his career but I think its a good win. There are plenty of good fights out there for donaire. Let's see what he doez

LOL...good read. Comedy quality.

The birth of....... Rigonturds :nonono: correction its RIGONDORKS.

Very interesting and very very funny. :lol1:

Thought he was an idiot at first, but just looks like he's a troll. And not a funny one.

Hahaha this guy is amazing! WILFREDO VAZQUEZ JR. WAS ROBBED IN THE NONITO DONAIRE FIGHT SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2012 By Lester Salvador I am disgusted with the outcome of Nonito Donaire vs. Wilfredo Vazquez Jr., it was another robbery involving a hyped Top Rank fighter. My prediction was a knockout for Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. but instead Vazquez decided to put on a boxing clinic and land the cleaner more effective blows. I told you all that Nonito was just another overrated fighter like Manny Pacquiao, and I was correct again, he struggled against Vazquez just like Pacquiao struggled against Joshua Clottey, Shane Mosley, and Juan Manuel Marquez. I cannot believe two judges scored the fight 117-110 in favor of Donaire, what fight were they watching? The only judge who was fair and got the score right was Dr. Ruben Garcia who scored it 115-112 for Vasquez. First we see Juan Manuel Marquez outbox Manny Pacquiao and get robbed, now we see a classy Puerto Rican boxer like Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. get robbed against Nonito Donaire. Boxing really needs to get better judging because this to me is what is wrong with the sport, some of these judges just favor the star fighter. After last night, I hope people see that Nonito Donaire is not a very intelligent fighter, he never went to the body, he got hit by jabs all night and he didn’t know how to bait Vazquez. Donaire just like Pacquiao is the product of proper Top Rank matchmaking. Nonito will not last at the 122 or 126 weight divisions because his power is nothing and he doesn’t have the skill to beat elite Cuban boxers like Guillermo Rigondeaux or Yuriorkis Gamboa, and this time just like when he fought Vazquez the fighters will be bigger and stronger than him. I am pretty sure you believe everything he writes about Nonito :D

He's the complete opposite of Nathanielsz when it comes to pinoy boxers.

That Lester man is a legend

Interesting? More like a stupid article.

Lmao just reading his other articles, this guy is hilarious bias. NONITO DONAIRE WILL LOSE TO JEFFREY MATHEBULA LIKE PACQUIAO LOST TO BRADLEY FRIDAY, JULY 6, 2012 By Lester Salvador I am not sold on the Nonito Donaire hype. He has made a career of beating up on smaller fighters, but since moving up to 122 pounds he struggled against a class Puerto Rican fighter in Wilfredo Vasquez Jr. and even made excuses that his hand was bloody that is why he couldn’t take him out. The truth is, Donaire doesn’t have the skills or power to take out anyone at 122 or 126 because these guys are no longer smaller than him and he won’t have the size advantage over them. It’s embarrassing that a wild brawler like Jorge Arce was able to stop Vasquez Jr. but Donaire couldn’t, and Donaire is supposed to be a smart boxer-puncher. Even the fight before the Vasquez Jr. fight, Donaire struggled against some very small Argentinian fighter named Omar Narvaez, and after that boring fight, Donaire even had the nerve to say now he knows how Manny Pacquiao felt against Joshua Clottey. That comment was funny because Narvaez is tiny and Nonito was much bigger than him, while Clottey was a huge muscular fighter and Pacquiao was the smaller man. I think Donaire might even be more hyped up than Manny Pacquiao and that says a lot. Pacquiao got schooled by Timothy Bradley, and this time I feel Nonito will follow and lose to the IBF 122-pound champion Jeffrey Mathebula of South Africa, but in a more devastating way, I feel Donaire might quit in this fight. Mathebula is a tough African fighter, and he is tall, like 5 foot 11 fighting at 122-pounds, so he you know already that he has the size and reach advantage over Nonito Donaire who is around 5 foot 7. Nonito will have trouble in this fight because he relies on throwing basic one-two combinations, and trying to land one big counter shot while stepping back, that style will not work in this fight because the guy he is fighting won’t be hurt by any of Donaire’s punches, Mathebula isn’t an undersized victim being fed to Donaire. It seems to me that Nonito picked Mathebula because he felt he was just a paper champion with an IBF belt, while avoiding the true champion at 122-pounds Guillermo Rigondeaux who owns the WBA strap. It’s clear that Nonito is following in the footsteps of his hero Manny Pacquiao, another Top Rank fighter, and cherry picker, to make himself look good while avoiding the true champions and tough tests in each division. Nonito claims the reason he doesn’t want to fight Guillermo Rigondeaux is because it would be a boring fight and their is no money in that fight (hahaha) I guess more people know Jeffery Mathebula? Another lame excuse. Just like Pacquiao thought Timothy Bradley would be an easy opponent and got upset, Nonito Donaire will be dethroned by the unknown Mathebula either by Nonito quitting on his stool or by decision after being out worked by the South African.

y'all got boner every time Rigo's name is mentioned seriously this guy is getting overrated every second that i cannot imagine the fallout when some bum got to him first before Donaire

Lmao it is featured on Nowboxing. Maybe you could write them a letter :) Oh now boxing? That place is retarded, my unborn child could write for them. Somebody posted an article about how they can prove Khan and Pacquiao were using, and I don't shit you, magical and untraceable forms of PED's. That is nowboxing.com

Can you post a link to the article? I want to know which website not to give credit to due to their horrendously biased articles. Lmao it is featured on Nowboxing. Maybe you could write them a letter :)

Basically the win sucked like some of us have been saying as soon as it got signed.

This might be the single most biased article I've ever read. I wonder if the author has an account here to post in all the Donaire threads...

lol at the article
