I understand why you guys disrespect Leo the whole worlds know he a paper champ duck
But donaire fought him didn't ask for nothing unreasonable and still lost ..he maned up when no one else would and fought him and lose ..so why the disrespect if that the case
No one should fight rigo one you might leave money on the table if you choose to fight him ,, and the fans won't respect you if you lose
This is why boxing can't be saved
I agree with everything except for the bold. How can Donaire avoid Rigo for years? Rigo only had 11 fights when Donaire fought him...
I do agree that Donaire was a Bizznatch with all the excuses after the fact.
The fight was brought to him on many accasation. Even Max was getting on his a$$ about it. Donaire even got Rachel to take some of the heat from him by having her make excuses for him. Dude knew Rigo was threat from day one. It was funny when they would bring up Rigo, Donaire would say that, that fight didn't interest him or motivated him, pretty much was acting like how Leo is now and making the excuse that Rigo is not an interested fight lol
Nonito,even if he came with a lot of excuses after the loss, took the fight, so he shouldn't be disrespected for losing to a better fighter; on the other hand lsc is doing a much better job at disrespecting himself than anybody else could do.
The disrespect to Leo doesn't require explanation.
As far as Donaire, well he avoided Rigo for years and even discredited him as a valid opponent. Ducked him with all the excuses possible and when Donaire was finally forced to take the fight, Donaire then started acting like a bitch and was threaten to pull out for the smallest BS things. Then right before the fight he clowned Rigo during the stare down and claim he saw fear in Rigo's face. Donaire talked before the fight how well prepared he was only to then bring up all the excuses book after he got schooled, excuses from that he didn't study Rigo, that he could no longer make weight, that he didn't train right, that Rigo ran, and that Rigo didn't do enough to win.
So then Donaire decides to move up to saveface and gets Axed back down to the weight he claimed he could no longer make. Now Donaire is back down to the weight he claimed he couldn't make and pretending Rigo isn't there by avoiding any mentioned of him. Donaire is a total bitch.

Donaire was a b*tch before and after the fight took place LSC needs no explanation. That being said I'm over Donaire's b*tchassness he lost his soul in that fight Rigo took the greatness out of him highlander style, so now I just hope he can bounce back at least somewhat.
The only backlash I saw Donaire getting was the fact that he he still had to say yeah full credit to rigo for the lesson he gave me buuuuut I have to get surgery on my shoulder. The after the fight his fans created a million excuses for him (some backed by nonito himself).
Nothing compared to the sh*t poeple rightfully say to LSC though...
Because Donaire is a phukboi douchebag that can't take a loss with grace... Disgusting.
I laughed when he said he tried to make the fight when actually Donaire was the one doing all the running from a guy much smaller then him. The 12th round was beautiful. If Donaire had fought with that kind of pressure he should in the 12th round, through out the whole fight, Donaire would had been stopped. Donaire realized this early on when he tried to muscle Rigo in the first round until Rigo busted Donaire back to the ropes. Donaire then went gun shy.

i dont get the donaire hate, he already beat him, thoroughly. as for lsc, he's a puto who ran away and hid behind his manager after dlh tried to make them fight!
I'm a Rigo fan and at the time when they fought I disliked Donaire a lot but lately I've loosened up on that. At the time he was imo the biggest hypejob in the world. He beat on either old, washed up, blown up, or just flat out not very good fighters and was getting a ton of praise. I knew Rigo would beat him and he did it even easier than I thought. Then after he blamed it on his baby, his shoulder, his weight; essentially everything but Rigo's just being better. Now the Donaire hype has died and he seemed very humble after the Walter's fight so I don't dislike him anymore.
LSC, I respect that him as a man bc he gets in the ring and that takes guts on its own; but as a fighter and especially as a champion there's really just not a reason to respect him.
I am a big fan of all three fighters. Rigo is a big favorite of mine but Santa Cruz is also a favorite of mine. I like Donaire a lot but I think he might be past prime and I think he is fighting at too heavy a weight and should return to 115 or 118 where he dominated.
I felt Donaire disrespected Rigo before the fight, making fun of his height and all.He wasn't doing that. He saw Rigo was looking at his chest and he bent down then back up to see if he could get Rigo to look him in the face. I thought it was cool he did that and cool how Rigo kept his eyes in one place the whole time. It was a funny sequence between the two. To me, it made both guys a little more likable.
Because it's cool, hipster to be on the Rigo bandwagon. 'the boogeyman' 'the most avoided fighter.' The type of hype job that comes around every so often.
There's a bigger hype job in ur picture
I felt Donaire disrespected Rigo before the fight, making fun of his height and all. Donaire was so confident he was going to win. Loved seeing get schooled.
