How can Donaire beat Rigondeaux...

[dan_cov]

This thread,more than anything else,is a testament to just how grossly overrated Rigondeaux actually is at the moment.And it's a testament to how fickle so many boxing fans actually are.Any fighter operating at,or near,a world level that has an impressive looking win and they're all quick to jump on the bandwagon.They begin treating him as an elite fighter,even when he's fought nowhere that level.Happened to Pirog after he clocked Jacobs,and it's happening with Golovkin right now.



Glass will be shattered,and we can only hope that some kind soul will be bumping this thread when it does happen.

I don't bandwagon anything. I am not biased.
I am a critic of most of these hypejobs and have took a lot of flack over the years for speaking out on Khan and the likes.
When I tell you a fighter is a hypejob, I'm not being a troll or a hater, I'm telling it how it is.

I have seen enough of Rigondeaux and Donaire over the years and my opinion is set in stone, mark it down. Maybe I am a little too high on Rigondeaux but I like too think I know styles and can recognise talent.

As for Golovkin, I agree, its too early to say, hes fought one guy who wasn't even in the top 10.

He would have to fight smart and would have to punch with meaning. Rigo is a much better counter puncher, with much more experience in boxing; pro or amateur. Donaire has the power to stop many, but does he have the technique, to me it has yet to me seen!

It'll be interesting to see Donaire in with someone who matches his speed.

What does get to me, how you can call a two time Olympic gold medalist a hype job. This is the most blatant disrespect toward an Olympic medalist, when this sport thrives off of experience.

Concepcion (at times), Harutyunyan (at times) & Mathebula boxed off the backfoot - Everyone who has boxed off the backfoot has gave Donaire fits.

Good point, your post started well.

There is not a fighter alive that can box as well off the backfoot as Rigondeaux.

Then the weed kicked in.

I think Donaire KOs him. Donaire is very dependable. He figures his opponent out and he wins, usually by KO. Rigondeaux has been hurt by lesser fighters than Donaire. I have never seen Donaire hurt before.

Donaire is not BIG, he is just tall! If I'm not mistaken both Arce and Motiel outweigh Donarie by few lbs on fight night...

Poor Donaire getting outweighed by his opponents.

I'm sure somebody said Arce outweighed Donaire by 6lbs.

Donaire's rather undefined body creates optical illusions where he is always outweighed yet appears to be the one with an 15lb weight advantage.

In that picture, Donaire weighs 90lbs while Montiel is a Junior Middleweight.
