Comments Thread For: Donaire: 'I’m a Better Counterpuncher than Rigondeaux'

[Jloro]

Its the only chance he has & its very slim. That is all he has, a punchers chance.

Donaire is going to hit the deck in this fight one way or another.

Donaire is good but Rigondeaux is an exceptional, superb, A+ once in a lifetime fighter.

Okay rigo is good, but in no way is he a Superb A+ once in a lifetime fighter. The guy haas 11 Pro fights lmao. He could Lose all his hype in one loss then people will say he sucked and all that lol

donaire is superior to rigondeaux in every way.

It would be like Vegeta thinking he has a chance against me.

Donaire's chances of winning: By KO

Rigondeaux's chance of winning: By KO, TKO, or UD.

I've said it many times. The only way Donaire wins this fight is if Donaire lands that punch that will knock anyone out.

If not, Rigo wins via KO, TKO, or UD.

Hes not your average 11 fight pro boxer. Hes an outstanding talent and unquestionably one of the greatest amateurs of all time.
A world champion in just his 7th pro fight & about to derail a top 10 p4p, 3 weight world champion.

being the greatest amateur of all time doesnt mean diddly squat in professional prize fighting.

In fact, it is a detriment to Rigo as a fighter that he fought so many times in the amateurs. The amateur style of pitty pat ugly defensive spoiling has been too ingrained in Rigo and that's why he will never be a great professional prize fighter. Factor in his size and his age, this is Rigo's retirement party.

Junior featherweight world champion Nonito Donaire sat down with BoxingScene.com/CSNBayArea.com last Thursday and touched on a variety of topics leading up to his Apr. 13 fight in New York City with Guillermo Rigondeaux.

The “Filipino Flash” has been preparing for the bout at Radio City Music Hall in the Northern California city of San Carlos with Brian Schwartz and Mike Bazzel. Reigning Trainer of the Year Robert Garcia is slated to periodically check in from Oxnard, a five-hour drive south of the gym.

“I’ve really been focused on this camp more than I’ve ever focused, so there’s no excuses,” Donaire (31-1, 20 KOs) said.

True to his word, Donaire wakes up at 4:30 in the morning on conditioning days and has added pool workouts to his already demanding regimen, which partially consists of interval sprinting on the track and utilization of the hypoxic machine to simulate a high-altitude training environment.

Camp would not be complete without sparring, and in addition to local fighters like slick junior bantamweight Bruno Escalante, manager Cameron Dunkin is sending Donaire a few new lefties of various sizes to tangle with as well.

“It’s been excellent work,” Donaire said of the sessions so far. “These kids they brought me just keep coming, and I like that they don’t hold back.”

Sounds like Donaire is nervous!

[Pacdbest]

Donaire will always look great against brawlers with no defense, show him any movement and he looks lost.

Mathebula, Navaez, hell Vasquez Jr took away his left hook for most part and he looked very ordinary!

This guy is not under any circumstances at the level Rigondeaux is. Hes limited!

We'll see!! Get ready to get Heart Broken on April 13th!

No, you aren't.

Rigo is a better boxer is almost every aspect. Donaire has power to win this fight. Rigo has everything, good power included.
