    Bigger farce, Haye or Donaire?

    By farce I mean someone is over-hyped by the media.

    While watching this fight I was having flash backs to the fight between HW Kingpin and All-time great Wladimir Klitschko against David Haye. and I couldn't help but think:

    Klitschko= Rigo and Donaire=Haye. Donaire resembled Haye perfectly, he was a guy that ran around trying to throw one punch to win a fight against a much more skilled and superior boxer.

    A lesson was taught today, Boxing skills prevail over Athleticism.

    I'm still too excited from the fight btw...

    totally different situation bra.

    Rigo perfectly executed his gameplan and had too much skills for donaire. i don't think the athletism between the two of them played a huge part because rigo himself is also too athletic more or less than donaire.

      Rigo had the Athleticism edge as well too though...

        Bad style match-up on both accounts for Haye vs Wlad and Rigo vs Nonito.

        To be fair Nonito wasn't over-hyped, he proved his worth last year, Haye never did that at HW.

          I think you're exaggerating a little bit i doubt anyone not named Rigondeaux from 122 to 126 could top Donaire he was just beat at hes own Game by a superior chess player who could hit just as hard XD.

            Donaire wasn't a farce, Rigo was just that great.

                  Nope. Not bad style match-up; just 1 fighter being much better than the other (in both cases).

                    Gamboa is undefeated and has faced and beaten the top guys in his weight class... Haye and Donaire have not.
