God Rigondiuex better be ready

[blak81]

difference is, it's incumbent on Rigo to do more than Narvaez. Narvaez was there to preserve his health, get paid, move back down. Rigo has to be there to win.

I'm not worried about Rigo coming to fight. That's a given.

that **** didn't move an fing needle, rigondeaux is bout to whoop that dude. he ain't going to do that with rigo in the ring. Is like jemarcus Russell threw great on pro day against the air lol but when you put an nfl defense in front of him all of a sudden where did all the magic go?

[mathed]

He's a southpaw lol. It would be a right hook.

Rigo IS susceptible to the left hook and Donaire has a great one. I think Rigo will be on the lookout for it and Donaire will focus on the right to work on Rigo's southpaw stance.

Donaire by stoppage is my bet...

I'm just glad 2 solid world class fighters are getting in the ring with each other...

was nonito in the video? i only noticed the check in the dress

can't wait for the fight!

Donaire by stoppage.

Im not sure its a given Rigo comes to fight, in fact i highly doubt it. His punch output has never been terribly high as hes a defensive minded dude. Besides Ive never seen fighters put their hand up as high and limit their punch output as much against an opponent. It seems whenever DOnaire fights, youll always see fighters become more defensive minded even though they arent naturally inclined to do so normally. Look at Arce (a ring-war veteran) become so defensive, nishioka who had that right hand up as high as Mt. Everest, Narvaez that never punched back etc. Basically, you shouldnt count on Rigo coming to fight or slugging this one out. He's gonna outjab Donaire in some spots of the fight and around the middle part of the fight he gets caught with the left and its game over.

given?...if anything , rigo has the tendency to be overly defensive as seen in the second half of the cordoba fight..

i suspect thats going to be the case here, with him moving a lot and getting outworked to a decision...and i dont think it's gonna be a tough fight to score..nonito decision just coz rigo will be on the defense most of the time...

Damn, Donaire went hard on the mitts.

[RubenSonny]

Donaire will win this very easily.

i don't know why so many in this thread feel like donaire is going to run thru rigondeaux when he couldn't run thru vasquez who was just coming off a loss to arce
