Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux on Donaire: I Will Engage, I'll Be Aggressive

[Elotero]

Nonito Donaire hasn’t forgotten the monotonous nature of his utterly forgettable fight against Omar Narvaez.

In fact, “The Filipino Flash” feels as though he owes New York fights fans an action-packed performance Saturday night in his first appearance there since the Narvaez farce in October 2011. Though an intimidated, reluctant Narvaez deserved most of the blame for their thoroughly boring bout, Donaire intends to deliver as many memorable moments as possible during his high-stakes, 122-pound championship unification fight against unbeaten Cuban Guillermo Rigondeaux at Radio City Music Hall (11 p.m. ET/PT).

Cuban Assasin! "The Flash" on April 13. 1st Round TKO.

First Manny, then Brian, All thats left is Nonito and the tard plague will be gone.

Cant wait.

WAR RIGO!

I just want to see a great fight even if it is a chess match. Nonito is feeling the pressure in NYC to give the crowd a great performance. Pac felt the same pressure with wanting to please the fans with a knockout with Marquez in their fourth fight and with one-second left in the 6th round. Pac got over confident and got put to sleep. Nonito can't be focusing on the crowd and needs to put his focus on Rigondeaux. If Rigondeaux is not willing to engage then Donaire needs to be smart about it and just win rounds. This isn't checkers this is chess who ever makes a bad move it can be costly.

“I will try to engage a lot more than I have in the past,” Rigo

That won't happen, cause that would be suicide.

sure hes got speed and defense but there is nothing in rigos arsenal that would stop donaire from raping him.

dont get me wrong, i truely think rigo is a great boxer but donaire is gonna make him look like what he exactly is....... an amateur.

"Rigondeaux on Donaire: I Will Engage, I'll Be Aggressive". If so this fight won't go past round two.

Wow it is pretty amazing how no one is giving Rigo ANY chance in hell of beating Donaire? Not even a remote chance lol. I think Donaire will probably win as well but man, people may be setting themselves up for a massive upset. Rigo isn't some bum I mean cmon? Guy gets hurt in 1 fight and now he has no chance whatsoever of beating Donaire. He is fast, powerful, skilled and is the most decorated amateur fighter in history basically but he is still a bum apparently to boxing scene posters haha. People felt the same way about Manny until recently when JMM iced him into a corpse lol. Rigo is small and he will probably lose but remember boxing is the theater of the unexpected so.

Quite a bit of posters are actually picking Rigo to win, look at the predictions thread where it's about 60/40 in favor of Donaire. If Donaire doesn't score a quick KO, I expect Rigo to outbox him for a wide decision. I also think Rigo can potentially hurt Donaire with a body shot as well.
