Donaire's lack of boxing skill

The flaws have always been blinding to me but I think a lot of people are hugely influenced by big punchers. Again that isn't to say he isn't skilled or anything but hes pretty flawed and it really showed tonight. Rigondeaux fought a brilliant fight I don't want to take anything away from him as its a great win and an incredible fate for only his 12th pro fight.

I still can't get my head around how so many expected Donaire to actually outbox Rigondeaux & Donaires rather hilarious comment of how Rigondeaux is apparently one dimensional!

Donaire has always been defensively flawed, but he has amazing foot work, amazing speed, and is a very very good offensive fighter with world class timing, and he had every single one of his tools taken away tonight by the best fighter to ever step in the ring.

OK, that's because this is probably one of your ALT accounts. Are you mad about something??? Was there a reason why you decided to point this random observation out?

With Donaire I always felt he was an incredibly athletic fighter with huge punching power. Never saw the boxing skills that people such as Max Kellerman would go on and on about, and it showed tonight, albeit against a hell of a fighter.

I disagree to the extent that I have seen donaire use his skills to do set up counters quite nicely. It just seemed to me that a good chess player ran into a master.

When you're fighting a guy who has much better skills than you and superior speed, you're in trouble. Rigo is an elusive technician.

How would he? He's a WW.

And how would we even know? He's never faced a fighter like Donaire. A prime P4P fighter that's elite in everything.

Please don't try and call his boxing rudimentary, just because Rigo toyed with him.

We were talking about prime Floyd. Don't jump in if u can't follow. And donaire is good but please he's not good at everything. His defense has always been suspect and he's always been more a boxer/puncher than a pure boxer.

Floyd couldn't even do it to Oscar... Couldn't do it to Judah... couldn't do it to Ortiz...

I am really reaching for examples though, because Floyd has never fought anyone even close to Donaire's level anywhere close to their prime.

Also Rigondeaux is 32. He is already past his prime... If you thought Rigo looked good tonight, you should have seen him when he was 24-25-26...

Floyd pretty much did gge same thing to every guy u named. Are u OK? Or are u just making crap up

I know you were talking about prime Floyd. Like I said, Floyd has never ever fought someone like Donaire, regardless of his flaws.

He looked like a modern day Picasso against a come forward, face first brawler in Corrales. That style suits him like a glove suits my hand.

Rigo took out a top P4P fighter in his PRIME, in his 12 pro fight.

You have no argument whatsoever.

An old ass Oscar, which he barely beat. A front running ass Judah, and Ortiz's bum ass = Donaire???

Ni99a please.
