Video: Rigo's resistance to Left hook? A KO waiting to Happen!

[-PBP-]

He's always dropping that right hand though.

His stance protects him well against the left hook. Donaire's best bet is to get him to commit to throwing his straight left hand and hope to counter him if he wants to land it.

but he's winning all his fights pretty easy that maybe a reason for that we will see what happends when he fights donaire

[letsgobrady]

And Donaire KTFO Arce!! All those fighters, Rigo hasn't fought! Rigo fought lesser fighters & got in trouble more often!

the point was that vasquez got stopped by arce but didn't get stopped by donaire yet donaire is the harder puncher

realy? coz imo , with the southpaw stance the head is way closer to the left of the righty opponent thus more susceptible to the left hook esp when you throw a lazy jab or have the habit of dropping it which is true to rigo's case..this is why he got caught vs marroquin ...he may have been trying to get cute but based on what ive seen , it's more of a habit than an intentional stunt

He's a southpaw but he fights with his elbow across his body and protects himself well with his shoulder, elbow and his forearm. That makes it very difficult for his opponents to land on him. Plus he has a good sense of distance and stays out of range and he can use his footwork and reflexes to keep himself out of harm's way. People like to criticize his chin but often forget that he's a very solid defensive fighter. Through 11 fights people only identify two punches that shook him up a little.

In the Marroquin fight he got caught twice because he was careless. One was a left hook over a lazy jab and the second time he was in the corner dancing around with his hands down. If he tries to get cute and dance around with his hands down against Donaire than he deserves to get knocked out.

That's one way he can beat Rigo and probably the best way but Rigo also loves to paw with his right hand and doesn't bring it back to his chin, that would give Donaire opportunities to land that left hook over Rigo's half ass jab.

Exactly, that's how Dawson got beat up and stopped.

i don't even know what you talking about.donaire hits hard rigondeaux chin looks suspect does not automatically mean donaire is going to knock him out thats the point the same way khan is looked at as having a suspect chin yet beat a power puncher in maidana

history seems to disagree then ..coz obviously , the only times rigo got wobbled (minus the kd caused by a jab), the lefthook was the culprit..

you call it carelessness , but imo , it's more of a habit than anything ...it has been the most obvious flaw IMO besides the chin...
