Comments Thread For: Photos: Donaire, Rigondeaux Get Tense at Final Presser

Do you see what Top Rank is doing with Verdejo here? That is how you promote a guy and make them cash cow. People talk a lot of BS about Top Rank but they know how to make boxers marketable. One picture between the two main stars of the night. Fighting in under cards of high profile fights.

That might be good for Verdejo but it's horrible for the poor fans at Radio City. They are stuck with a crap undercard.

But that's how Arum has always done it...good main event with mismatches on the supporting card.

Donaire really knows how to make a stare down face. Rigondeaux, in comparison, looks like he just had a big meal and has to take a crap.

This is a 50/50 fight, folks!

BTW, Rigondeaux looks like he came off the set of Michael Jackson's "Beat It" music video.

same observation. but rigo doenst really look at donaire's eye! but I got this Donaire by a beatdown KO! I think he's really mad at rigo!

Donaire broke eye contact first...

RIGO WINS!

How come other fighters get knocked for fighting smaller guys all the time but Donaire never gets called out?

Donaire came from Flyweight, DUH!

I don't Rigo is that much smaller. Willing to bet that it won't seem like it come Saturday.

Both looking mean and moody, especially Donz. :box2: I still think it'll be a shitty-ass fight, but nonetheless I love the fact that a match-up of this calibre is finally happening.

Rigo scared to death, he scared to look, he shook, Cause ain't no such things as halfway crooks.

The main event is expensive. Neither guy have a big following or can sell a big arena. They usually showcase some of their prospects in this type of cards. Other than this being on the same card as Juanma/Garcia, Top Rank didnt have the fighters to make this a bigger card and taking more financial risk.

It will be such a pleasure to see the disappearance of all the new Rigo sigs and avatars around here on Sunday morning. It's amazing how many Broner/Mayweather/"USA" boxing fans are all of Sunday on board the Rigo express.

This is true.
