Comments Thread For: Donaire: I Want To Move Up, I Struggled To Make Weight

[P-4-P-King]

does anybody know the song that was playing during the Martinez vs Murray promo right after the Rigondaux-Donaire fight? it was an instrumental and had piano in it. I would really appreciate if anyone could help me, Thanks !!!

Donaire just had a bad night and sugar ray robinson once said "if a boxer has a bad night but still gets a knock down, take the round of the knock down, multiply it by .5 and you will get the round he will stop that same fighter in his next fight" so donaire will be just fine and probably stop rigondeaux in round 5 if there is a rematch.

I would agree if Rigondeaux was visibly hurt, but I think it was more of a balance issue. Rigo got right up and looked game as ever, dominated the rest of that round.

I'm a believer he'd win a rematch, but hey, that's my opinion. Y'all some bandwagoning *****es. Nothing new though/

Look at all my post before the fight ever was made been backing rigo for a long time. Like have i said before donaire had always faced taylos made boxers made for him and to top it off old ones and smaller ones. Even rigo was the smaller guy. Rigo has always been the real deal with 11 fights or 30 just people like you always hated on him 2 gold medals dont come from cherry picking ur opponents.

What was all this talk before the fight rigo not experienced he will get demolished he is on the juice blah blah blah. Donaire had always been overrated like the narvaez fight didnt teach anyone something. Even the mathebula he showed what a boxer could do to donaire. I dont say donaire sucks he is still a beast and bas lots of power. But his defense needs slot of work and he needs to stop thinking he can knock anyone out he needs to let the knockout come to him not go looking for it. Lmaol at bixingscene giving a b+ for defense on donaire i would say a c+ at best

Off balanced and an elbow to the troath to open him up to land his punch thats what the knockeown was about. Rigo won that round as he got up he la ded a flush left on donaire

Donaire was quoted saying he had no problems making weight. Was he lying?

If he's going to move up, move all the way up to 130.

First 126 is only 4lbs up. Although 4lbs can make a world of difference, even 2lbs, the majority of the time, i'm sure Donaire comes in as a WW on fight night, 140+ lbs. He's big, the same thing will happen at 126 after 1-2 fights. Going up 7-8lbs would really be going up to a beneficial weight, if you are genuinely struggling to make 122. From 118 to 126 to 135 should be 3 weight classes, not 73. It should be 118-125-133-140-147-154-160 and so on.

Lol dude is not the trainer garcia told him all fight u need to attack more use your jab. Why didnt he? Cause of that right hool from rigo. Rigo is just the better man theres nothing donaire could lf done to win. 9 out of 10 times rigo would win theres a chance that donaire might land that punch and end it but the odds are better for the most technically superior boxer which is rigo.

Only way donaire could of had a chance was to take his shots to la d his but rigo hurt him and thats why he wasnt encouraged to do so. If rigo wouldnt had pop then donaire would have a chance.

You donaire fans need to stop looking for excuses even donaire at 100% he still would of lost

Suger rays theory is bollox , the knock down don't mean anything . If that the case khan stop maidana in 1 minute 30 secs in a rematch since he put him down in the first ? Exactly , no chance cause the theory is crap

nah you didnt read the theory right because khan didnt have a bad night, he won that fight
