VIDEO: Rigondeaux Short Training Footage

[GrandpaBernard]

Hes not looked spectacular against a mesh of styles.

Its all well and good hes seemingly open for a left hook, Donaires constantly open for every punch in the book.

When his right hand is low his shoulders there protecting his chin anyway and he has cat like reflexes and always maintains great balance. Every fighter gets hit from time to time.

His right isn't just a range finder, he has a very good jab he uses well to body & head. He dropped Marroquinn with a right hand, hurt Casey with a right to the body, nearly decapitated Noriega with a sweeping right hook.
The only fight hes looked a bit of a one-handed fighter in was against Kennedy who he absolutely toyed with.

Rigo is an amazing boxer to watch

Rigo is an amazing boxer to watch

He is. I don't get personally how boxing fans can find him boring but I guess most of the people who do are more into the whole 'lets see who can take the most punishment'

You've just got to respect the guys skills. Hes a phenomenal technician.

His footwork is a thing of beauty. I find it almost hypnotising too watch lol

Not sure what Im supposed to be so impressed by with those training videos. Just video of him doing basic ****. He is a 2 time Olympic gold medalist. No **** he can do that stuff. But nothing out of the ordinary in those.

Yea, I used to be confused about how he defended himself so well since his defense isn't all that flashy or peculiar. Then I realized it was all through his footwork. He's great at controlling distance. Very economical amount of movement unlike the majority of guys who rely heavily on their feet to get them out of trouble.

For the record, I see this as a pick em' fight because I can see ways that either guy can win. Which is AWESOME and rare these days (although Froch v Kessler II is another). My pick is Donaire by KO, although I can see him being out slicked and frustrated to a UD loss. But hey, rolling with Donaire.

Don't like what I saw there at 0:54 seconds

Rigo tries his flicker straight to set up a counter but his partner left hooks him as he tried his counter left upper

Yep. I've noticed that in his previous fights and wonder if he would try that against an opponent as quick as him. Definitely something to worry about.

He was able to do it a lot against Kennedy but didn't try it a whole lot against a quicker and stronger Marroquin.

I'll bet you all your points Donaire wins.

My 5bill to you 15 bill? 3-1 odds

Clearly something hes working on and the left hook missed as did the follow up and he got countered.

That's a real nice move. Hopefully he lands that in the fight

[mconstantine]

I want to see Rigo use his right hook more often.
