Comments Thread For: Donaire: I Did Enough To Win, At The Very Least a Draw

[BigZigga]

I dont think Donaire won any rounds in that fight to be honest. Even the round with the KD, I felt he was outlanded. So I guess it would be 119-108 for me. Also find it funny how people say Rigondeaux didn't engage, yet he threw and landed more punches. I don't really trust Compubox to accurately compute every landed punch, but I do think they're at least capable of counting all of the punches THROWN.

I had no idea not throwing punches means you win a fight.

Obviously you don't know that Donaire not only landed less punches than Rigo, but he threw less, too....

I can get people calling the fight boring.

But unless you are just flat out trolling, then whomever thinks Donaire actually won this fight is, at best, a high functioning ******.

No disrespect to high functioning ******s....

Nonito Donaire you coward

You said Rigo didn't want to engage, chicken ****, why didn't you engage so call pound for pound, not. What ever happened to the Filipino Fash. You fought like a girly man, scared to get ko'd. Rigo won by decision, crybaby.

Oh and btw, this 'boring fight' stuff is getting old.

It was FAR from boring. It was a damn good fight.

It was a boxing match. I know not everyone appreciates that kind of fight, but no one can call themselves a real boxing fan and not respect that kind of performance. Rigondeaux looked almost superhuman on Saturday. His skills and physical ability are on the highest level. It was beautiful to watch from a purely athletic standpoint, let alone from a pure boxing perspective. Fans of the lower weights better get used to it, because no one south of 126 is beating "El Chacal" any time soon.

Absolutely.

Rigo put on a masterclass, the gap in skill was just as big as the gap in speed. Superhuman is the perfect description of Rigo's reflexes and instincts. Nevermind countering, he was so fast that Donaire moved into to position to throw and before he even began his punch motion, Rigo had clocked him and moved out of distance...and the thing is, Donaire isn't slow.

only had donaire winning 3 rounds at the MOST....but it seems like donaire is going through the 5 stages of grief starting with denial...just needs to accept his loss and come back stronger..he can definitely have a strong career at 126 if he remains positive.

I am a big fan of Donaire, but now he thinks he won the fight ? Sorry, Donaire but you was handed a boxing lesson. You only won 2 rounds on my card and I one of the rounds I gave you was a gift. Donaire you should have not accepted the fight, the style was all wrong for you.
