Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux Cements Pro Credentials With Donaire Win

[Jelisei]

This is for all Donaire fanboys: I told you this will happen! Donaire was overtrained and not well prepared... while I won a ****load of money with Rigo win! Hahahah!

I think Pacdbest messed up his keyboard with tears, that's why we don't see him here.
Well I hope he gets it fixed and I welcome him to jump on the wagon, there's still room for a few more.
Respect the Gold medals next time.

yeah ive been waiting for him and all the other pac t a rds to show up. maybe some a re crying over donaire and others are still trying to wake up manny

I remember when he kept saying Nishioka was the best super bantam while overlooking both Rigo and Mares.

However, i still give Donaire credit for fighting Rigo instead of a dull rematch with Darchinyon.

After both Bam Bam Rios and Donaire getting outboxed, i wonder do people think Robert Garcia is deserving of trainer of the year? Is he better than Nacho and Virgil Hunter?

Robert Garcia is absolutely NOT qualified to be trainer of the year. Tell me, what trainer trains his top prize fighter of the year for the BIGGEST fight of his career OVER THE PHONE????

I won't be surprised if Nonito drops him.

Nacho ain't ****, he didn't teach either Marquez brother to box, their father did. Virgil Hunter is a good trainer, but we've yet to see what he does with his stable of guys. Garcia has an established resume, a couple losses don't change that.

He had both Marquez brothers around the age of 9. Have you ever head of Daniel Zaragoza, Ricardo Lopez, and Chiquito Gonzalez? All HOF boxers trained by Nacho.

lousy fight -- big disappointment -- correct decision even though Rig spent most of the last 6 rounds, except the 12th, sashaying away from Donaire and posturing -- crowd started booing by the 3rd round, justifiably -- Donaire seemed clueless and ordinary -- Rig is a great defensive fighter with only a mild interest in offense -- please God, no rematch! -- they couldn't pay me enough to watch these guys fight each other again

Now what?

Bob Arum said it rite he needs Fidel Castro now to promote Rigo .contg****c LOL

It's amazing how that punch defined the route of the fight. Nonito realized that Rigondeaux was very powerful and then he wasn't so eager to engage.

You hit it right on the head. Rigo's power is why Donaire would not let his hands go. He felt it from the jump and knew that too many of them would put him in trouble. Pair the power with the brilliant counters and that left Donaire in a ball of confusion. Even in the 10th when he knocked Rigo down with that shot, he tried to pounce on him when he got up but 2 left straights later and Donaire was back on the outside. He definitely respected his power and if he opened up and threw more like his fans say he should have, they would be dealing with a KO'd hero, not a UD'd one.

nacho beristain was right, Rigondeaux was going to win Nacho has a lot of experience.

[umop-ap!sdn]

Rigo only cemented his position as a marathon runner. Rigo makes Hopkins and Maravilla look like pure warriors.

"WAR rigo" = "RUN rigo!"

I hear you bro... my nephew is half Filipino and he was crying when Donaire was gettin his a$$ beat too.. Only difference is, he's 3 and doesn't know any better! #justsayin. Hate has never beat great!

Yeah, you on it. By the end of that round, Rigo was in full control again. Overall, Rigo showed his elite class by making a top-level pro look like a limited amateur.

But what a fcuking clinic! Beautiful to watch... just incredible, really. I hope Rigo can leverage this win into better paydays.

Oh BTW, this is exactly what would've happened in a Floyd-Manny fight. But even worse since Manny has less boxing skills than Nonito.
