Comments Thread For: Donaire Rejects Rigondeaux, I don't want another Narvaez!

[Burat Mo]

Narvaez actually did what he could against Nonito, but the weight and size difference was just too much. Narvaez had a couple of good rounds, I think 4 and 5 in which he was able to land some good counter punches but he realized that with the size difference he was not going to be able to win the fight.

Nonito with his skills and size should have done a lot more than he did. I think in some article here on boxingscene they quoted Nonito saying that he was bored during one of the 1 minute breaks, yet he didn't do anything else to just take Narvaez out ...

Donaire v Narvaez was a shut out 120 - 118

WV2 is a pretty big 122 pounder himself though. He also balloons himself up to the 140's.

I don't know if that's so good for WV2 ... Vazquez completely gassed out during the last rounds of his fight against Arce and he was just too tired to keep his hands up. I think WV2 shouldn't just focus on being heavy, but on being at a comfortable weight in which he can maintain his work rate during the entire fight. Montiel made the mistake of keeping his hands low and if Vazquez does the same thing he's not going to end the fight standing up.

I'm telling you, this guy will eventually fall when he faces better opposition. I'm not bashing the kid, but he has not really proved anything spectacular. His win over Vic and Syd were good but his two latest fights where kinda, blah. Not boxing-wise, but everyone knew Montiel was too small and only had a punchers chance. Same with Narvaez but he used his boxing-101 to get himself out of trouble and actually made Nonito look bad.

As for saying Rigondeaux fights like Narvaez? Pff....I smell ducking....

[cixthree]

Wait!
So Arce & Narvaez made his blood boil? This dude is slowly but surely getting the Chicken Pacs!
Rig murders pretty much everybody in and around that div, only one I see getting it in with Rig is Gamboa at this point.
Damn shame, I used to hype Donaire.

[DoktorSleepless]

And it starts. G****, Donaire. The internet has created your very own Pirog that you're ducking.

Rigo is just too dangerous, Donaire should have let Arum taken care of it.

Nonito doesn't know the drill yet. he should be saying

"I'll fight whoever Bob Arum puts in front of me"

or just say "I'll fight anybody"

then let Uncle Bob talk all the **** and make up excuses. I know Rigondeaux is with Top Rank but Arum would throw Rigo under the bus for Donaire.


That's the Top Rank way

I don't blame him for not considering Rigo a meaningful opponent, Rigondeaux is only 10-0 and though he looked hot against Ramos, there is a huge jump in class between Ramos and Donaire. If Rigo is still around in a year without losing it would be a much bigger fight.

[1mind]

He can't handle rig's slick african style.

[mushahadeen]

Rigo is a great fighter.

Rigoneaux is getting old, he needs his big fights NOW
