The punch that busted Donaire's eye in the 12th:

[_original_]

That was a huge shot he connected with in the 12th, I kind of missed it and all of a sudden noticed Donaire on his bike covering his eye lol



That second gif is really cool, shows you how trained he really is to react so quickly and efficiently.

Could you make a gif of the time where Donaire clipped Rigo with the left, then chased after him and Rigo stopped him in his tracks with a left?

[-Kev-]

Oh its the Donaire catching Rigo one

When I saw that I laughed cause it was so cheap, I felt bad for Donaire that he had to resort to little trickery punches like that. That was like a semi-sucker punch. But it was an amateur mistake for Rigondeaux to let himself get caught with that. It was really cheap, but props to Donaire for ceasing his only moment to land something really meaningful finally.

Impossible.

From the way some on here tell it, Rigo ran all night.

He actually landed a PUNCH?!?

Amazeballs....

Rigo was obviously expecting that they were being broken.

Yeah it was a bit of a cheapshot but protect yourself at all times I guess. I did originally think the ref called break

Let him have it, about the only bit of success he had all night lol

Rigo was obviously expecting that they were being broken.

I agree, he(Rigo) taught that, but is lucky Donaire didn't get too dirty(but did get sum dirty) or he would ko Rigo more on a round when Rigo looked at the referee I was like "why you put your hands down and look away Donaire can hit you beside the referee was like on the corner and said something that cause Rigo to be sidetracked" but Donaire didn't and then this ko was the second time Rigo taught the referee would step in and got careless again and payed for it got me a bit mad, but man Rigo was on mission today and didn't make almost no mistakes but these I mention only I believe.

How in the world was this a cheap shot? Just because Rigo was holding, Donaire was supposed to stop punching?

[Sake1]

Hopefully Donaire didn't sustain Margarito-like damage to his eye.

Difference is Margarito's a warrior and wouldn't have *****ed out the way Nonito did.

Donaire should have fought the whole fight like that.

He wasn't winning a straight up boxing match with the most technically sound fighter he's ever fought.

He needed to make it a rough and dirty brawl to take Rigo out of his comfort zone.
