Boy was I wrong about Rigondeaux.

[!! Shawn]

Many went on the notion that Donaire was overrated, and that Rigo would beat him, or hoped that Rigo beat Donaire just cause. Predicting that Rigo would totally outclass and breaking down how Rigo did it last night is a post that I have not seen yet. Those posts are far and few.

I remember being one of those who broke down and predicted that Forrest would outclass Shane the way he did. It is a great feeling to have predicted that fight. If you broke down donaire Rigo and predicted Rigo's domination in detail you deserve props.

I just quoted you several from me. Eat your crow and accept that we know more than you do about boxing.

They are similar in style in that they both don't have natural right hands, and attack from the left hook first. Ward jabs a bit more. When I talk boxing, I'm not a fan that becomes hard headed when a fighter I pick loses. If the other guy deserves props, he receives them from me-always!

Green K. I wish we had more posters like that rather than them being blatantly bitter lol

''Oh he ran like a b1tch''

If Nonito had of somehow pulled it off, I'd of gave him massive props because I feel I've knew for some time just how good Rigo is. I really could not see how Rigo was not a stylistic nightmare for this guy.

Hes outstanding. Nobody is beating him anytime soon I know that much.
Donaire talking about experience etc he looked the inexperienced one in there.

I just hope Nonito goes to 126, he'd better stay well clear of a rematch.

The only worry is I don't know who is even out there that gives Rigo a test? Its not a bad division he is just THAT good! Mijares vs Tarravez winner would get absolutely wrecked. Frampton & Quigg gets eaten alive, Darchinyan gets put in a pine box. Hes pretty much cleared the division already as far as I am concerned lol

Resume wise, there's not too many guys that can enhance Rigo;s.

He's just schooled the other best fighter around these divisions and now what? If/when he schooles Mares and the rest, it's expected. He's that much better than the rest that building his legacy even further will be tough.

I totally expected and predicted that level of domination (and got paid for it). Not trying to gloat, but it really wasn't that hard to imagine from watching their careers.

[Phantomas]

Not to take anything from Rigo, I´m a fan and said he would dominate by eight rounds or more, but Donaire had it coming. Once you take the cherry picked midgets and old pseudo retired fighters out of the equation one punch isn´t gonna win you fights.

[DannYankee]

I expected the Ud as i said on another thread before the fight but i didnt think he would mute Nonito offensively to the point he did that boy had such a puzzled wtf look in that corned after 3 rounds it was hilarious.

[Nicolino]

Being a Homer is one thing, actually breaking down and then posting that Rigo would show case all of his skill against Donaire is another. There is no such thing as Rigotards. You guys are Homers. The guys who gracefully broke down how Rigo would dominate Donaire deserves props for their prediction.

i said it two month ago..."IMO Rigo has the tools to put a defensive fight against Donaire, just like Narvaez did, but with bigger counter punches, enough to get the decision."

ward would be rigo

[Tim2daresq]

Rigo damn sure impressed me. I don't see anyone beating him around those weight classes.

The guy is too good. His style is damn near impossible to solve. If there was one fighter that could've beat Rigo, it was Donaire, and we all saw how that worked out.

Good Lord the guy is a master in the ring.

[RubenSonny]

I thought it was mismatch, I predicted Donaire by KO and I'm incredibly happy I was wrong. All respect to Rigo, nothing to take away from that win.
