Comments Thread For: Team Rigondeaux: Donaire Overrated, Will Get KO'd in Six

[edgarg]

Guys this is not just a great fight but I think this are two of the greatest little fighters of are era.rigo with only 11 fights is a champ no matter what anybody says.he is the greatest amateur boxers of all time.whoever wins will him up there with the best of all time.

There are three amateur boxers who each won 3 gold medals. One of them turned pro and when already signed for a title fight, was forced by his government to retire. He retired unbeaten with 27 wins. He was awarded by WBC the Best Amateur and Professional Boxer in the world of all time, in 1989, and is in the IBHOF. He was a middleweight and only 5' 5" tall.

As an amateur he scored 55 first round KO's in an era when boxers had no head gear and a KO was really a KO.

So the question of who is the best amateur boxer of all time is not as easy to answer as you seem to think.

Rigo doesnt just have a chance to beat Donaire, he has a very good chance to beat Donaire, and vice versa. This fight could go either way.

Rigo has a chance. His whole world depends on this fight.

Jackal is a great name for Riggo- maybe the mongoose is more acute to his style...amazing matchup..see u there...

[Prime 407]

Rigo's over confidence will get him KO'd.

[GodInFleshSuit]

This is gonna be a great fight!

[Pacdbest]

It's going to be a great fight but to say Rigo by demolition is nonsense. This fight will be decided in the championship rounds and I give the edge to Donaire because of his humongous left hook.

I forgot about that! rigo will KOed! bet on it!

[Pain~Lucy]

No it's not, there's a $300,000 bonus for whoever KO's the other guy so you know both guys will be aggressive.

where did you get that? if that's true I thinks that valid to Rigo only

This is going to be an exciting fight. I am completely new to watching present boxing but I like both of them and its going to suck watching one lose...

Especially I am half Filipino and half Cuban African American lol.
