Did Rigondeaux vs Donaire prove that the press conference staredown says NOTHING?

Rigo was studying his target, Donaire was trying to play mind games. I noticed during the fight as well. Rigo was so focused on his target that when Donaire went to touch gloves at one point, Rigo looked into his eyes, touched gloves then rapidly went back and kept his vision to where he was focused on. Rigo is all business, so there was no need to mean mug and play games cause when the bell rings, a staredown isn't going to punch you in the chin

Everybody always reads too much into everything. Oh his shorts were too low... got so scared he didn't pull them up all the way Oh his shorts were too high... got so scared he pulled them up more than he needed What if theyre DLH high? http://a.espncdn.com/media/box/2002/0914/photo/a_hoya_i.jpg

He's been calling out Donaire for as long as I can remember. Fight came and everyone expected that he'll go for a KO. It didn't happen. He ran instead. :unitedsta

staredowns don't mean a damn thing i just can't see why you would even consider that as a way to predict the outcome of the fight

... And whatsitcalled you can break a man down at conference bull****.

He ran for his life in the fight, didn't he? The crowd was booing. It's embarrassing. So yes. It proved that he respected Donaire too much that he wasn't the one who chased the flash and went for a KO. Are you people not watching? :unitedsta What a dumb ****ing comment.

Stare downs are for the fans to judge. Fighters know the real deal because they are the real deal.

A lot of people said Rigondeaux looked scared in the staredown with Donaire in the prefight press conference (and/or weigh in). Rigondeaux just didn't look him in the eye, but when you look at the fight itself, you could see Rigondeaux wasn't afraid AT ALL, and at times he looked totally relaxed in the ring. I think we "fans" from the outside have no real insight into what is really going on in staredowns. Only the 2 men themselves know what is going on and who is afraid and who is not.

It was the leftover PAC fans that moved to donaire that were saying that garbage

I read that nonsense and steered away from it cause it was simply that, nonsense. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android Pretty much spot on.

That was proved long before this fight. The sh*t people say after seeing a video of a staredown always drives me a little crazy. I agree totally.

Stare downs are point less
