refusing eye contact?? Seems like his saying, Don't intimidate me! That's how I read it!

Are you a body-language expert working for the CIA?

Honestly i can't even tell what Rigo is looking at, he has the lazy eye type of stare that makes it impossible to tell.

Either way both guys are ready, looks to be interesting.

lol you guys analyze the staredown too much. Silva isnt lookin in his eyes but hes still the baddest man n the planet

This looks like Silva is talking s#it or ready to whoop some azz... It doesn't look like an actual stare down, where they just stare, it looks like Silva was about to say something and White is in the middle already breaking them apart. Plus, Silva doesn't look intimidated at all. I'm not saying Rigo looks intimidated, but he doesn't look comfortable either. As far as fight night, Mayweather hasn't looked his opponents in the eye for awhile, but he's always looks his opponents in the eye in the stare down and starts s#it... (Ortiz, Mosley, Cotto, etc) although it was Cotto who started s#it in their last stare down.

All the people over analyzing the staredown. I'm sure both guys trained hard and are ready for the fight.

Donaire is a more extroverted guy, he likes the show a lot more than Rigo.

Rigo likes to fight, he's just so professional and so focused that he staredown doesn't mean shit.

They're both ready, let's hope we get a good fight.

rigo don't give a **** about a staredown,

[DannYankee]

You guys just don't Understand, Rigo is trying to get in Donaire's head thru he's nose ! lol No but on a real note Donaire is more used to the circus ****, RIgo comes from the Olympic stage where clowning can get you DQ hes all about the ass kicking he wants to hand out doesn't care much for the publicity.

**** this talk of staredown! TOMORROW IS ****ING ON!!!

[lopez36]

donaire looks so confident while rigo looks like "oh well,let's see what happens"...I still think it will be an easy fight for donaire

Definitely won in the ring but you guys like the sweet science but don't give anything towards a mental aspect of the game? That doesn't make much sense.

I agree the mental aspect of the game is huge, but the fact is we have no idea what is going through their minds at the staredown. For all we know Donaire is trying to make up for a crap training camp by intimidating Rigo. (i dont think that just making the point).

Unless you've been with either guy for the majority of the camp or know him personally i'd say all of this is just pure speculation. Hence why staredowns, face offs etc dont mean anything.
