HBO's commentators getting checked last night by their own people!

[mathed]

Donaire didn't do anything imo. He was very timid and when he tried to attack, he got countered which would stall his attack. All the telling shots were landed by Rigo, the fight was fought at Rigo's distance and pace, Rigo took away Donaire's best weapon (left hook), and Donaire's face was the one busted up after the fight.

I gave Donaire the 10th of course and maybe one more round but he was getting schooled the rest of the fight imo. I can't give the guy a round because he is the aggressor if he lands less punches than the other guy and is getting his head snapped back the entire round. It wasn't a beatdown in that sense but it was a schooling.

Sitting here thinking about what a terrible fight that was tonight. So disappointing. #DonaireRigondeaux #boxing


danrafaelespn Dan Rafael
If @trboxing & @GoldenBoyBoxing would work together we would have had Donaire-Mares instead of tonight's stinkbomb. #DonaireRigondeaux

I dont need toe-to-toe war to be satisfied but I despise watching guys who run, back up & dont engage.Rigo huge ability but not entertaining


danrafaelespn Dan Rafael
If you're not going to even try to entertain, people wont watch, wont buy tickets and TV nets wont put you on.

Wow disgusting tweets... This guy is supposed to be about BOXING. Who's gonna take him seriously now? What a douche.

I was watching the fight and was thinking it was a lot closer than what ledderman, jones, lampley and kellerman were saying. These guys were saying it was a shutout and I was yelling at the tv that these guys were f'n ******. Then all of a sudden lampley said their producers/crew in the truck contacted them and said they don't know which fight they're watching but the producers/truck crew have it as a close fight! Thought it was hilarious because only then did the commentators quit riding rigos nuts!

Rigo did an excellent job last night, don't get me wrong but it was definitely not a shut out! I scored it 115/113 for Rigo

that was never said and it never happen.....maybe im the only one that payed attention to the fight but that never happen so not sure why nobody else has called you out on it


first, producers and truck crew arent scoring a fight , ever..... second, what they said was that writers ringside were scoring the fight alot differently than they were (lampley and company)..... and that was all, hardly call that getting "checked"

He does this after every true boxing match. I have come to the conclusion Rafael doesn't really like boxing, but rather guys that just hit each other really hard.

LOL. Dan Rafael's favorite fighter is Arturo Gatti. I don't expect him to enjoy this. He gets a lot of exclusives and insider info but I don't take him seriously other than that.

Sounds like enjoys watching exciting fights. No crime in that. Let's be honest, that's what most of us are here for.

No shame in that. But don't insult what we like because its not your preference.

[WARQUEZ]

It was like Dan was expecting some sort of war. Everyone who knows boxing knew something like what we saw was going to happen. It's fun to watch for the folks who like technical tense boxing. That's about it.

[Sake1]

The judges scoring minus Ledderman's daughter were a joke.

[mathed]

yeah exactly. Rigondeaux controlled all four scoring criteria almost every single round. Other than the knockdown round, there isn't a clear round where anyone can tell me Donaire clearly won. Every round Donaire was fighting Rigondeau'x fight and getting out-landed. I think people may have scored a couple rounds for Donaire because he was moving forward while Rigo was pot shotting and moving, but you don't lose points if you're still out landing your opponent landing the cleaner, more effective shots while controlling the pace of the fight.

I thought it was pretty easy to score. I gave Donaire two rounds.

I totally agree, it's "hit and not get hit", that is what the nature of boxing is. The preference of the majority is "get hit but hit more and score a KO"

Yeah, I took it as a mistype of something but was thinking "they were talking about the press row scorers."
