Nonito Donaire Vs Guillermo Rigondeaux: Who Wins?

[BigAlexSand]

I just can't get over how looping Donaire's left hook can be at times. He has fast hands, but Guillermo throws tight straight shots and I think his punches will get there first.

Exactly what I was saying... Very wide hooks, in which Rigo well counter with his very quick straight right. Which makes me feel he will knock Donaire off balance and score a knock down or two middle rounds when and I say when because it will happen, when he becomes careless.

Thanks, quick story for you if you care to read it. I have a really good young fighter who fights at the 122lb weight class and is a current amateur. He's really good, just won the open in that weight class, beating Ariel Vega who is now a pro and 1-0 with a KO.

Anyway, we took him to spar Rigo in Hialeah and rigo knocked him down and out with a body shot.

I will say (and I'm not judgmental on just one incident) Rigo wasn't very nice to the kid. He was upset that the kid didn't get up and said in Spanish, "Get him the ***out of my ring" basically.

He sparred with a amateur and he had the nerve to say that? What a POS.

I don't think Nono's ever been down in the pros. I think this bout will see his first trip to the canvass. Rigo has pop, and he places his shots very well. I can barely wait to see how this all plays out.

Go easy, bro. Cuauhtémoc was there, and even he's reserving judgment.

I think u r the weakest analyst here!! Calling Donaire a Brawler, no true boxing skills? Who was hurt again by Tall fighters? And who was the shorter fighter between Rigo & Donaire?

You know what, I've seen 3 youtube fights of Donaire in 2007 before the Darchinyan fight. And I already compared his skills as like Floyds! What surprised me was, He KOed Darchinyan with one Punch! And that's a Bonus!! Here's my original post at ESB in 2007:

vCash: 1000 Default Darchinyan VS Donaire, I smell an Upset...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I like Darchinyan, I like KO artist, I like fighters who fights anybody. I've seen a Bunch of Darchinyan fights. Even rate him top of the 112 & top 15 P4P.

I've seen only about 3 fights of Nonito in youtube. But I met the guy & his Brother Glen personally twice at a Party & we talk a lot about Boxing. He said he beat Jason Litzau in the Amateur. Also they thought that they we're robbed by the Judges when he fought Viloria in the Olympic trials. He is supposed to be lined up against Arce but Arce lost to mijares. That's why I'm not surprised when I heard he got This title shot.

Based on my observation Donaire is very skillfull, quick with his hands & feet, has some Power, full of confidence, very smart, in short he's the Filipino version of PBF. Personality wise this guy are way different than his Brother Glen who is the Shy or low key guy. Nonito, in the Parties that we've been in, is the light of the dancefloor. He dances all night long proves he has an endless stamina. Good dancer too means he has good Hand, eye & feet coordination.

The only question is... can he handle Vic's Power?? I ask his cornermen if he has a good chin, they say he was woobled once but recovered & KO the opponent shortly.

I've seen replay of the dachinyan-Pacheco fight, in this fight Pacheco was outboxing Vic, Then the fireworks interrupt the fight, Vic recovered & KOed Pacheco shortly. Pacheco is one of the tallest fighter Vic has fought.

The reason I smell upset is because Nonito is a Legit 5'6" & a half. he's quicker & he can move. Vic will have a hardtime finding him. Nonito has a lethal left hook & I see them landing everytime Vic tries to attack. I don't think Darchinyan can be KOed, but I see Donaire outboxing him in a lopsided fashion. Kinda like what Mijares did to ARce.

What kind of argument is that... The fact you compare a fighter who is more unconventional (Like Roy Jones), with Floyd Mayweather. Haha. If anything, Rigondeaux skill is more like Floyd technically.

Also Donaire is 5'5" if 5'6", so will have only a inch height advantage.

If Mathebula and Vazquez, both way bigger fighters with more power than Rigo can't drop Nonito, Rigo wont have a chance. Only way Rigo wins is via a decision and he needs to box the fight of his life for that to happen.

Poll says this is about a 60/40 fight. I kind of agree with that.

Rigo's bodyshot is lethal bro, i dont know if you have seen him fight b4 but its a problem.

Im cubanboss by the way, nice to meet you.

You have made one inaccurate statement after another on these threads. Rigo is a hard-puncher. Mathebula may be much taller, but he's not a big puncher. Vazquez is only an inch taller than Guillermo. His KO record is very good, but that doesn't mean he hits harder than Rigo. Besides, it's not just about power, it's about landing with power. Guille will do that.
