Originally posted by richardt View PostTake my name off this list. I was the one preaching about how fans should never count on a fighter landing a specific KO punch.

I hope your impressed with Rigo and see why he's soo special to us Cubans!! All nationalism aside the guy is special

No way I'm going thru reading all these comments, will just say the right guy won. And what was that? He's just an amateur? Gee, he sure did great for an amateur. And what's that you say? He just ran all night? Really?
It was a boxing master class. Rigo the teacher... Donut-Aire the befuddled student. And it would happen the same way in a rematch only worse for Nonito. He just needs to move up and hope Rigo doesn't follow him.
What a great fight... and we have 2 more great cards this month. '13 a lucky year for the sport.

Agree - KO artists and their fans start believing that same punch can land on every fighter and produce the same result....kindof a fantasy really >>>Originally posted by richardt View PostIt's just like I said a few days ago: "Whenever people talk too heavily about a single type of punch ending the fight, it rarely happens". Its counting on something that the dynamics of the fight may not allow because of styles. Donaire is not very hard to hit. And he can fall into a lull now and then which an opponent could capitalize on. Also, the ability to take a shot can also be related to focus and conditioning and Rigo will be far more in the zone in those categories for Donaire than he was for Marroquin"

Rigondeaux really impressed me tonight and he has now made my top 10 p4p list:
1. Pacquiao 2. Rigondeaux 3. Ward 4. Alvarez 5. Khan 6. Alvarado 7. Mares 8. Donaire 9. Bradley 10. Mayweather/Trout (cant decide)Last edited by CheckHooks'BF; 04-14-2013, 03:00 AM.

I predicted Rigo would prove himself to be on another level, I believe he did that.
Donaire looked lost at times and foolish at others. That's what happens when a very good fighter steps in with an elite fighter.

That is a terrible P4P..... Absolutely ridiculous.....
Your number one just lost twice... how the hell can he be top of the world. Rigondeaux just beat an overrated fighter, yeah he's top 10 but not number 2. Your clearly a hater and unbelievably biased hence you got mayweather at 10 when he's a multi-division undefeated future hall of famer, like him or hate him. Khan shouldn't be in top 15 lolol... just lost two fights, back to fighting bums. Alvarez who has he even beat at the moment...
I'm backing this..
1. Ward 2. Mayweather 3. Marquez 4. Pacquiao 5. Martinez 6. Froch 7. Rigondeaux 8.Broner 9. Bradley 10. W KlitschkoLast edited by maddad2001; 04-14-2013, 05:21 AM.
