Don't hate on rigondeux

He did what he needed to do to win. But, he shouldn't get mad if he doesn't win over any fans He won me over last night. Over the last week I'd been gradually more convinced that he had a good chance of winning because he was so confident and last night he boxed beautifully. Anyone who appreciates the sweet science would have loved what he did last night. It was hardly Rios-Alvarado but it was a display of great technique and discipline. I think Rigo will go on to be the best Cuban professional. I Was in the edge of my seat because from moment one everyone who knew even a little about boxing knew with what they where throwing when they decided to throw they could have knocked each other out any second. But Rigo earned Donaires respect early with he's power speed and skills i think he really shocked him for the first time ever he was in there with an animal like himself and Rigo was the More cunning deadlier beast last night. I honestly think that Rigo's speed was the key to him winning last night. At times he actually made Donaire look slow - I'm not sure there's any other fighter in the world who could do that!

Great display by rigo.. purely dominated donaire. scorecards were a disgrace, donaire won 2 rounds at the most. this fight was exciting so for people saying rigo is boring, thats how he always fights! He was landing at will. Donaires excuse were lame also. Messed up shoulder and didnt "study" well enough.... yeah ok. Give rigo credit, last night was the start of his legacy being cemented. Bring on Mares. or mikey garcia, gamboa. Rigo will beat all 3 imo.

Yeah I respect Rigondeux. It takes a lot to do what he's done to pursue his dream. Leaving your family, moving to an entirely new country, and uncertain of if you'll even make it in boxing. And to be honest, he seems like a class act. Not reckless like Gamboa outside of the ring, doesn't seem to talk crap a lot like Floyd, and gives props to his opponents. He showed dedication to the task, executed a brilliant gamplan, and beat a top P4P guy in his prime! Respect is due. But I think all the hate just comes from all the Rigotards celebrating right now. This happens after EVERY big fight. Someone wins and everyone is loading BS with new threads every five minutes about how this fighter is better than Sugar Ray Robinson and who would win if this guy fought this guy in his prime. Oh and don't let me forget, "He's definitely P4P #whatever now with this victory!" It happened when Donaire KO'd Montiel and will keep happening. This is madness you say?! No, this is Boxing Scene!:boxing:

You guys are on point! Haggler steel chin, how did rpdonaire make his parents cry

he was also noticeably quicker than donaire, which surprised me.

yeah, i don't understand the hate to be honest. i don't even understand people who said they weren't entertained by his performance - i was thoroughly entertained! he deserves all the accolades he gets for comprehensively outboxing one of the best in the world..

The man showed class and respect after the fight. He said positive things about Donaire despite all the trash talking. Rigo despite only being in the US for a short time has embraced the US and said he is "American." His opponent who has lived in the US for 21 years is never seen with the stars and stripes and stills calls his old country his country. Rigo also unlike his opponent has never made his parents cry on national tv and turn his back on the people who raised and feed him. Like you said, "Don't hate on Rigondeaux."
