Comments Thread For: Nonito Donaire on Facing Rigondeaux: It Would Be Easy!

[danceswithfire]

That will work too! Vasquez Jr. will give anybody a run for their money. He is not the best out there but he is tough and fighters have to respect his power. Nonito didn't look to motivated to go for the KO with him, lol.

he's a pretty good fighter.. was surprised with the a lil bit of succees he had in the later rounds vs nonito..

If he signs to fight him, then great. I'll believe it when I see it.

he just fought 3 days ago man ..what the hell you want him to do..fight rigo on the same night? patience man , patience..it would've been better if rigo fought and beat a decent opponent on the same card ...now , nonito would have to fight him with his 11-0 ass with no worthy wins

I'm just saying it's not the first time Donaire has talked about Rigo to go another direction. If it's easy like Donaire says, the fans want it, that's the ideal fight for him.

The guy didn't have any amateur experience, I think he can still improve with the right guidance!

A lot of people are not giving Rigo the slightest chance. I've seen Donaire's face marked up in more than a few fights and he went 12 rounds with Mathebula just 2 fights ago. I'd favor Donaire to win but I don't know ho much of a walk in the park it would be with a counter puncher fighting a counter puncher....it's not like Rigo is going to be throwing bombs his direction all night.

Has Donaire's chin ever been tested? Honest question!

the best shot ive seen him hit with was a left hook by rafael concepcion who was 5 lbs bigger in the offical weigh in. he took it weill ,besides that nothing really notable

[UTEP]

Rigo and Memo will be to much for Nonito. I predict a brutal K.O.

Nonito's career end's if he ever grows some balls and fights Rigo.

Do it then b*tch! WARRIGO!!!

[TensionKiller]

All this BS about pro & amateurs - the thought never crossed your minds that with all the "amateur" fights Rigo has, that he hasn't seen it all in terms of fighters' style? Keep sleeping. And he should be able to make it happen if he really wants it - they're practically cousins. They both have Slob as their uncle.......

He is over 30+ of course he has seen a lot but 4 2 min rounds with headgear and heavier gloves...

I suspect he has a poor chin and I certainly know the pro game from amateur is very different.

[TensionKiller]

Donaire has fought past their prime old ass fighters... his resume is nothing to talk highly of at all.

And tell that to

Oscar De La Hoya
Joel Casamayor
Pernell Whittaker
Sugar Ray Leonard
Floyd Patterson
Leon Spinks
Andre Ward
Joe Frazier
George Foreman
Ray Mercer
Lennox Lewis





Though i concede Amateur skill doesnt translate directly to Professional game, Amateur skill DEFINITELY is something to consider in regards to being successful.

It is not comparable. There are plenty of Gold medalists who achieve nothing at the pro game.

You can say the best amateur all day long, but that does not mean they will achieve anything at the pro game. You got to go out and do it!

There are plenty of amateurs who beat someone, but then lose to that person in the pro's.
