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

[$tate of Mind]

This guy has lost his mind, he was flat out dominated. He should just accept reality and move on and try to get better. This is just embarassing.

Yeah as soon as Rigo got hit in the first and landed a left right back that made Donaire stumble Donaire immediately started posing trying to feint him out as opposed to just attacking. Rigo's performance was one of the slickest we've had in a long time. And against a stud in Donaire.




How many people do this? Back turned, landed punch, in control of his footing and Donaire looking like a bull chasing a matador. Like this pic. Sucks its at Donaires expense but yeah.

What people don't understand about his footwork is that he uses he feet as part of his defense, even when its not for moving.

The old belief for southpaws is its always a strugle with each guy trying to get their lead foot on the outside.

Rigo switches it up, he plays an inside foot game for defense so that step into your knee and keep you from throwing punches with balance, and also so he can turn that back to you and be in a position to counter as soon as he steps.

NO-NO-NOnito, your loss was against a boxing master, nothing bad about that.

Rigo is not Arce or Nishioka, he won every fight in last 12 years, and by the way won 2 olympic games, 2 amateur world championships, 12 pro fights... and SEVEN Cuban Championships in line!!! This man is a boxing legend and I still appreciate you after the fight because you still are a very good fighter...

You don't need to explain nothing, all is OK. Please, stop telling ****, you are making things worse.
You don't need a shoulder surgery, you need a surgery for repairing your face and... if you continue talking you will need a brain surgery

Interesting. So you're saying Rigo's right knee was jamming the inside of Donaire's left knee? And being in position to counter, you specifically mean the left straight? I noticed that Rigo's left was awfully quick.

Gonna have to look for these things when I watch the fight again. And I'm sure I will.
