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

I thought Donaire would have been able to figure Rigo out. He finally caught him but too late. Rigo has definitely showed his class and high level of skill. Much respect

Rigo just put a boxing clinic for the not so flash Filipino .....GREAT NITE FOR BOXING.
ROBERT GARCIA is over rated just got lucky with fighters at the right time facing opponents that were not skilled or were able to adjust to his poor training of just going forward and punching ...like Rios and now The splash instead of the Filipino flash.

Easy fight for rigo. The scores did not reflect what was going on in the ring. Most rounds nonito didn't even land any significant punches. I only gave him the knockdown round and possibly one more.

Rigo just knows how to walk a man down and make him fight his fight.. Rigo can punch, he made nonito uncomfortable at times with his quick strong left hands right down the middle.

People shouldn't be shocked by this. I was calling this months ago and it was not because of Nationalism. Rigo exposed him. This fight reminded me of Haye-Klitschko.

Rigo= Klitschk Haye= Donaire

Two hype jobs killed by two skilled boxers.

lol and people called him P4P.

[KaL-EL]

Nonito wtf is wrong with you...seemed like he was looking for that one punch. Cong**** to Rigo but it was a boring fight. Bradley/Ruslan still holds fight of the year...for now

[cantor5150]

easy work, lmao

like I said on one post I had a dream he would have it easy and he did, not saying I am physic by all means but after the Left hook by Rigo, Donaire didn't pressure with craziness he felt the power and just try to box his way in but not wild like he is used too, Props to Daniare on not acting like Rios and saying the truth about Rigo, awesome fight a lot of skills by both but Rigo was a class above Donaire. I loved the way Rigo dodge Donaire punches and he looked a bit faster at times then Donaire.

I also never bought the hype about Donaire. Defeating a small and old Jorge Arce shouldn't have counted for getting the award of "fighter of the year" I am feeling sorry for many philipinos since they kept boasting of the greatness of their boxers and forecasting that they would dominate or "kill" their rivals. As a matter of fact it has been the opposite since Pacquiao was badly KOed by Marquez in his last fight, Viloria was severly punished by Estrada a week ago, and Donaire was schooled by Rigo tonight. I can see some pinoy forists will be very sorrow just like it happened when JMM KOed cold Manny since it has been few months and they still think that Pacquiao never lost against Marquez. The truth is that living in denial will never change reality.

Nacho Beristain was absolutely right about the result.

The same thing is gonna happen to Canelo next weekend that happened to Donaire tonight.

But Trout has more of a chance of getting robbed by the judges though. I don't see the fight ending by K.O., and leaving it in the judges hands is very dangerous for Trout.

I don't think so.
