    For me this fight wasn't boring at all. Rigo gave a masterful performance, a great display of skills and concentration. He made Nonito look like an amateur.

    At the end of the fight Nonito threw only 20-30 punches more than Rigondeaux, but Rigo was way more effective.

    Nonito was the one losing the fight, he's the one who should've done something more in the final rounds.

        Donaire 100%. Rigo demonstrated ridiculous control and expended himself early and often to try and make things entertaining as soon as he was able to master Donaire. It was Nonito that stunk. And ******.

          They deserve 50-50 credit for it being boring.

          Rigondeaux fought extremely negative, but Donaire didn't do anything to change that.

            Without a doubt it was Rigo. He literally ran away a few times and the fans boo'd the hardest at those given moments. Doesn't change the fact that RiGODeaux whooped Donaire though.

                Rigo made the fight boring. Of course Donaire could have threw more punches but that's hard to do when your opponent is running and ducking from every exchange.

                It was one of the most boring fights I have ever had the displeasure of watching. Coming from a neutral fan who expected to see a highly skilled 'fight' not an amateurish posing contest.

                    I thought rigo fought brilliantly but boringly.

                    wouldn't kill him to throw more punches.

                    i know it's the sweet science but there is oceanography(interesting) and molecular biology (boring).


                    he did great but all that waiting and running on both sides ******.

                    he is the best at 122, but he's like a good teacher who puts his students to sleep with a monotone voice.

                      Only the casual fanboys would find such a chess match boring. Terms such as 'running' are used by people who just don't understand the sport.
