Don't hate on rigondeux

[emurgencee]

What we saw last night was a classic display of intelligent boxing. After all, this is the manly ART of self defense and Rigo was Neiman last night. He pot shotted donaire, made him miss and made him pay. If I were rigo, I probably would have beat donaire to the body just a little bit more. That would have weakened donaire for the later rounds. Last night, donaire was out boxed by a much shorter, yet skillful technician and I loved watching every second of the clinic.

The man showed class and respect after the fight. He said positive things about Donaire despite all the trash talking. Rigo despite only being in the US for a short time has embraced the US and said he is "American." His opponent who has lived in the US for 21 years is never seen with the stars and stripes and stills calls his old country his country.

Rigo also unlike his opponent has never made his parents cry on national tv and turn his back on the people who raised and feed him. Like you said, "Don't hate on Rigondeaux."

yeah, i don't understand the hate to be honest. i don't even understand people who said they weren't entertained by his performance - i was thoroughly entertained! he deserves all the accolades he gets for comprehensively outboxing one of the best in the world..

[fvanesbeck]

he was also noticeably quicker than donaire, which surprised me.

[emurgencee]

You guys are on point! Haggler steel chin, how did rpdonaire make his parents cry

The ones who hate are probably pinoys who are ******edly obsessed with any fighter who's a fellow countryman and are having a hissy fit because Doniare lost fair and square.

Or might be anti-communists.

im not hating on him. Dont think anyone should either. He fought his fight. Donaire did not fight his. He let Rigo dictate the fight and took no chances. It is what it is. The better man won last night.
Donaire is still a great fighter and on of my top favs. But he didnt step up last night and paid for it.

Yeah I respect Rigondeux. It takes a lot to do what he's done to pursue his dream. Leaving your family, moving to an entirely new country, and uncertain of if you'll even make it in boxing. And to be honest, he seems like a class act. Not reckless like Gamboa outside of the ring, doesn't seem to talk crap a lot like Floyd, and gives props to his opponents. He showed dedication to the task, executed a brilliant gamplan, and beat a top P4P guy in his prime! Respect is due.

But I think all the hate just comes from all the Rigotards celebrating right now. This happens after EVERY big fight. Someone wins and everyone is loading BS with new threads every five minutes about how this fighter is better than Sugar Ray Robinson and who would win if this guy fought this guy in his prime. Oh and don't let me forget, "He's definitely P4P #whatever now with this victory!" It happened when Donaire KO'd Montiel and will keep happening.

This is madness you say?! No, this is Boxing Scene!

[Derranged]

im not hating on him.

I didn't say you were.

[Hougigo]

He did what he needed to do to win.
But, he shouldn't get mad if he doesn't win over any fans
