Floyd Mayweather Jr. Picks Donaire Over Rigo Via A KO

He definitely has better punch variety than Rigo who is mostly a one-handed fighter. Yeah Donaire's left hook is so great that fans overlook his very good straight right.

Donaire is noway near as smart, neither does he have better punch variety He definitely has better punch variety than Rigo who is mostly a one-handed fighter.

Rigo doest need to ko donaire but could easily win by tko. Donair face swells real easy and wouldn't surprise me if donair face bleeds Donaire has a great chin and it's going to take a perfect punch to put Donaire down.

Rigo till this day hasn't fought anybody worth note and his better challengers has taken him to the distance in a stinker. It is impressive that with so little fights he has accomplished what he has and is fighting Donaire. He can't be rated on skills alone cause he hasn't fought anybody. Being dismissive of Donaire's accomplishments and skills sounds like somebody trying to convince themselves about Rigo. Rigo will pull a stinker and will lose a decision. When he can't take the pace of the fight he goes in defense mode and worst when he gets feinted. I want Rigo to suprise me but Donaire is a far better fighter with much more experience at the top level. This is like rating Broner and Russell that looks very impressive with the second tier of opponents. The skills they show is impressive but you can't rate them till they don't face the top fighters in their division. Rigondeaux has had the best amateur career of any boxer. Rigondeaux has superb defense and real punching power, Donaire has his hands full on April 13. I give the slight edge to Donaire but wont be surprised if Rigondeaux wins.

It's the biggest fight for Both. Sorry, but Montiel and the likes are not as good as Rigondeaux, not a chance. sorry but darchinyan and montiel have both accomplished things rigo can only dream of...let your boy get in the p4p then talk him up..

I guess Mayweather is referring to the people won't like this part because most of his fans don't like Pacquiao and that Donaire is also Filipino. www.esnews reporting.com/floyd-mayweather-jr-picks-donaire-over-rigo-via-a-ko/ Bumsniffing alt alert!

I am certain that Donaire is touching down in this fight, some aren't aware of just how hard Rigondeaux hits. It's not brutal, heavy handed power, but he has very good power which timed with perfect technique and great speed makes his punches hard. After watching Rigondeaux drop the natural 135 pounder Marroquin, you make a great solid point. The problem is that Donaire has a great chin and never gets caught flush like what happened to Marroquin.

Both Rigo and Donaire are best when they are counter-punching, both are devastating, can ko/kd anybody who leads against them. In this fight i just cant see Rigo ending up as anything other than the counter-puncher, whereas i can see Donaire trying to lead. When that happens i expect Rigo to take over. I can also see Donaire work rate being cut significantly by Rigo's style, not many like to throw a huge amount of punches when each one can get you hurt. Obviously Donaire by KO is not out of the question, the guy has huge power.

bullsh1t .. nonito has fought better fighters than rigo , p4p fighters even something rigo has never been in if ever... this not nonito's biggest fight ,it's rigo's ... It's the biggest fight for Both. Sorry, but Montiel and the likes are not as good as Rigondeaux, not a chance.

I think his defense has become underrated too. He's not a defensive wizard but he's solid technically when he wants to be and can avoid shots when he wants to. somewhat i guess , but he does get hit with a jab quite a lot tho ...good jab thats is

yeah seems like it.. hell , his offense is being downplayed by his haters , lol ...i mean , you can talk about the mans defese but his offense , come on now, he's as explosive as they come .. I think his defense has become underrated too. He's not a defensive wizard but he's solid technically when he wants to be and can avoid shots when he wants to.

Seems Donaire's counter punching has become a little underrated. He has a great counter left hook and straight right hand. yeah seems like it.. hell , his offense is being downplayed by his haters , lol ...i mean , you can talk about the mans defese but his offense , come on now, he's as explosive as they come ..

crock of sh1t ...when rigo uses the right hand more often instead of pawing it or flicking a sloppy jab , let me know and also when he ko's elite fighters via counter punch let me know too ..i tell you what is pretty nice with riog , that lead left , uppercut combo is nice but his offense aint on nonito's level yet...nonito has never been down ,never been wobbled either so stop lyin.. .. Seems Donaire's counter punching has become a little underrated. He has a great counter left hook and straight right hand.

Donaire is noway near as smart, neither does he have better punch variety, he isn't a better counter puncher either. Donaire has been more or less been tagged as much in every fight hes had as Rigo has in his 11 fights combined. Rigondeaux has not been knocked down multiple times. He has touched down once from a jab by Corboda that knocked him off balance. Donaire also touched down from a jab by Concepcion but it wasn't counted. crock of sh1t ...when rigo uses the right hand more often instead of pawing it or flicking a sloppy jab , let me know and also when he ko's elite fighters via counter punch let me know too ..i tell you what is pretty nice with riog , that lead left , uppercut combo is nice but his offense aint on nonito's level yet...nonito has never been down ,never been wobbled either so stop lyin.. ..

Not in the pro's, no. Donaire hasn't fought anyone nearly as good as Rigondeaux either though, so...It's a very good fight, and could go either way. We'll see how it goes. bullsh1t .. nonito has fought better fighters than rigo , p4p fighters even something rigo has never been in if ever... this not nonito's biggest fight ,it's rigo's ...

I think it will be a decision for Donaire.

Rigondeaux got knocked down from a jab lulz Wait for the excuses ''He came in overweight'' :lol1: He got destroyed by a jab, failed to flip back up and stumbled around like a drunk.

I rate Donaire's skills better than Rigo!! Donaire's smarter, More arsenals of Punches, better counter puncher, Stronger puncher ! I cant even say Rigo has a better defense! Because I saw him getting tagged by Lesser fighters. Getting KD multiple times in 11 fights. Donaire's never get KD in all his Pro career!

He hasn't quite yet fought someone as good as Donaire but yeah... I think I'll be sticking my money on Donaire for a knockout, different kind of fighter Donaire is a lot smarter than some give him credit for. Not in the pro's, no. Donaire hasn't fought anyone nearly as good as Rigondeaux either though, so...
