    Donaire's lack of boxing skill

    Showed tonight big time. Donaire looked like Pascal out there, hoping around, winging hooks. That stuff don't fly with skillfully boxers, who are just as fast and athletic. Donaire needs to learn how to jab and throw a right hand...

    I think what we saw tonight is when two counter punchers get in the ring, the one who
    plays agressor typically loses because its out of their
    comfort zone and the other gets to fight their fight. Which
    was the case of Marquez vs Mayweather for example.

    Donaire we've seen in the past he's been less then amazing when he's forced to chase guys around the ring and try to be aggressive.

    I didn't think Rigondeaux could take his power but he did and he hurt Donaire numerous times as well.

    Rigondeaux is simply am extraordinary fighter. He's nearly impossible to hit, he's fast as hell and his reflexes are insane.

      This, this, and more this.

      Rigo is the truth, and nothing but the truth.

        I can't believe people didn't see his flaws before.

        Hes a good fighter, a very good fighter who can bounce back but he has always been overrated. When I say overrated I don't mean hes a garbage fighter, I mean hes not as good as hes made out or people are lead to believe.
        A lot has been careful matchmaking against guys that are absolutely made for him.

        Rigondeaux made the guy look ordinary. Like I said before and got laughed at, hes two levels above Donaire. Nobody south of 126 is touching that. This was a good world class fighter against an elite fighter. He was totally out of his depth.

          If he didn't have boxing skills, he would have gotten murdered by Rigo.

          Rigo is just that good, he makes everyone look like a nobody.

            I'm going to go out on a limb and say Rigo is a cut above Floyd at his peak. This win over Donaire is probably better than anything Floyd has on his resume as well.

              exactly, I know u, me and a few others have been saying this for a while. his flaws were always there. hes not what ppl seemed to have believed him to be. no hate, but when ppl were claiming he was more skilled out of the two, I couldn't help but laugh

                LOL, he won't learn trust me. It's too late he's like what 30 year?

                When your only chance to win a fight is by knockout then you are ****ed.

                Good luck.
