Comments Thread For: BScene Predictions: Nonito Donaire-Guillermo Rigondeaux

[richardt]

This one is so close to pick because one could be on his game and the other one not, tonight. They have similar and different strengths and weaknesses. My pick is Donaire slightly but like I say, BET AGAINST THE GUY YOU WANT TO WIN AND YOU COME AWAY A WINNER ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!

Annnnnnnnnd NEEEEEEEEWWW!!! Super Bantamweight Champion of the World!!!

I don't know if anyone else has seriously studied Donaire's fight record but I have

I have watched several of his fights on HBO and even youtube when I had to - he has yet to face a fluid, crafty boxer-puncher of African ancestry (those malnourished, famine survivors from Africa don't qualify because one was a flagpole and the other was a pygmy.

Rigondeaux will probably open the fight looking to assertively impose his boxing superiority over Donaire and stick him with crisp 3 punch combos while walking him down ala Mayweather mode with a dominant defensive display of that patented shoulder roll and upper-torso swivel.

Round after round until Donaire's fight plan grows frustrated and insecure as he falls behind on the cards. Donaire's going to make an impassioned run to turn the tide by the fifth or sixth round with bursts of power shots but like a world champion chess master, Rigondeaux has already thought seven moves ahead and has prepared his muscle memory for just this contingency - he calmly weathers the storm and draws his prey deeper into dangerous waters by patiently awaiting those windows of opportunity when Donaire's big body bullseye is exposed for organ failure-inducing counter punches

Donaire's past opponents were predominantly asiatic from Thailand and the Phillipines and a large number of latinos from Mexico and South America. He's been purposely protected from the slick, smooth stylings of Black boxers here in the African Diaspora - and Team Donaire knows they are in trouble tonight because one can knock out all the non-blacks on his highlight reel but against a Mayweather mode boxer-puncher of Rigondeaux's intelligence and physical ability . . . all that they have accomplished merely amounts to so much smoke and mirrors

This will either end in a KO/stoppage or be a tactical chess match for 12rounds. Still picking Donaire 6 round stoppage/KO.

I'm a huge Rigondeaux fan....but just because you're a fan of someone doesn't mean you think they're going to win.

I see a chess match the first 5 rounds, with both having moments here and there. Rigondeaux will touch Donaire, same goes the other way. Rigondeaux's chin worries me too much though, and I think Donaire catches him and hurts him in the 6th. And I think Rigondeaux gets up, but the ref will stop it. People on here will complain that the stoppage was early, and there could be an argument that it was. The cards will be about even.

Donaire TKO6

Rigondeaux appears very determined and focused for this fight and I believe it will show once the bell rings between the squared circle. I'm expecting him to not only put on a boxing clinic but also frustrate and discourage Donaire to the point of even stopping him because it's hard to hit what you can't see.

Its funny seeing how pugilistically ignorant boxing fans, and even staff employees. How can u not see that Rigo waas the better fighter?

1) Donaire by TKO in round 7 - 10. Guillermo will try to engage and get caught a few times. After getting frustrated, he will be stopped.

2) Even if this bout will go the distance and will be close, Guillermo will never get decision.

So, I dont even see a possibility he will pull this one out....

Hm--m-m, very funny to read afterwards

lol man you must be better than everyone who called one fight wrong.
Donaire dropped him to show he could have ko'ed him but Rigo had the better game plan.
