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

[brick wall]

rigo's tentative a$$ will always make him an inferior counterpuncher. he can't even counterpunch cordoba while he's getting chased around the ring. rigo is always wary of getting hit and if he feels his opponent's power his workrate cuts in half. he's only effective if he can intimidate his opponent. he put cordoba down but when cordoba stood up and started fighting back rigo danced his way to a boring sd.

lol how do you figure Rigo is more intelligent than donaire and moves better and is the better boxer?

How did you come up with this conclusion?

If you can't see that Rigo's got better movement than Donaire ...

Cordoba almost beat that overhyped Cuban! And Donaire is a much much better fighter and much better puncher than cordoba! Donaire was a Proven fighter! He's got a HOF resume already! If the chin survives the Donaire will in via UD! But the crowd will be boooing coz that means, Rigo will run all night!

Mathebula almost beat Donaires overhyped ass.

Untrue. That happened one time, against Cordoba. Against Marroquin, Rigo got tagged twice with hard left hooks, wobbled, clinched, and then proceeded to return fire. Despite being rocked by those punches, Guillermo never went down and even put the much larger Marroquin down twice.

Too much credence is paid to the Cordoba jab and Rigo's subsequent reaction. It was only "El Chacal's" seventh pro fight. Even a supremely gifted boxer like himself has to be allowed a professional learning curve, however slight.

Really?? What's the score in that fight? Was it SD Like Rigo-Cordoba?

Rigo possesses masterful movement. Donaire is perhaps more athletic; he moves around a lot more, but there's a lot of wasted effort. Guille is much more precise in every way.

Rigo fans will be disapointed come fight night.

Maybe. Maybe not. And that's the point: it's virtually 50/50.

[thuggery]

I would have to agree. Anything Rigo does, Nonito can do better.

Rigo comin for that @$$! You better train hard.

It'll be a tactical boring fight with Donaire initiating the action, and Rigo moving and picking his spots.

I see a decision going to Rigo.
