Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux Shocks Donaire, Wins Big Decision To Unify

I wasnt that high on Rigo going into tonight but he impressed me in this fight. Hes the real deal. But I was very disappointed in Nonito. Like most power punchers he wasnt active enough. He walked in the ring looking like he just smoked a blunt. His body even looked like Chavez Jr. Good win for Rigo but what a disappointing performance by Nonito.

this has got to be the worst decision of 2013. the fight was close but no way did that chicken shït rigo do enough to win the fight. how the fúck did those ****** judges give it as a UD. donaire initiated the action the whole night and chicken shït rigo was too scared to oblige. this is a plain out robbery. no wonder a lot of people say the sport is dying

Complete control of the fight by Rigo. Man, he lost at most 2 rounds.

Even the round he got dropped from what i considered nonito allowed to use shoulders and all he can back and even the round

Masterful stuff by Rigondeaux. I thought there was a decent chance of an upset, but never like this.

The fight was competitive for the first 2 rounds, then Rigondeaux gave him a boxing lesson for pretty much the rest of the match. By the middle rounds he was actually in cruise mode as he was that much in control of the fight, & that gave Donaire the only chance he had when he scored the knockdown. However it proved to be brief a moment, & Rigondeaux was pretty much back in control by the next round.

How anyone can score this fight close obviously doesn't know the first thing about boxing, as this was a masterclass in precision, timing & ring generalship.

Congratulations to Rigondeaux, & I would say the only person that can beat him at the weight is himself, by getting simply getting too casual. Skillwise he is simply a once in a generation fighter.

I knew Rigo was gonna set the pace in the fight. this is just a great win for El Chacal.

man, that speed... donaire was schooled... rigo is the real deal... donaire should just move up to fight lopez...

What a stinker fight. Rigo is an amateur and he treated that professional fight like a true amateur. Judges should be ashamed.

You need to find a new sport to watch. You're obviously not a true boxing fan

The win wasn't impressive, anyway cong**** to Rigo! and to Nonito, better move up to Featherweight Division.
