    The boos were for Rigondeaux but those fans did not understand that Donaire was just being exposed as not being able to cut off the ring or be successful against an elite boxer.

        The boos was from classless Donaire fans who can not appreciate high level technical boxing & its funny because if anybody was boring and tentative in there it was Donaire. The same guy who literally ran for his life for the full 3 mins of round 12.

        He was shook. Every single time he landed anything Rigo came back with better.

        You'll notice the only people who have called it boring are Donaire fans/guys who predicted he'd destroy Rigo.

            The boos were for Robert Garcia's instructions.

                Not only that. Those that are accusing Rigondeaux of "running," and not fighting, don't realize that Guillermo landed and threw more punches than Donaire. I remember watching the fight live and saying to my friend, "What are these fools booing at? Rigo's actually more active than Nonito. Donaire is just standing there."

                It's amazing how deceptive your mind can be when your eyes show you something you don't want to see.

                  Don't care for the boos, usually a reflection of the fans more than the boxer.

                  Rigo didn't "run." Donaire just wasn't effectively aggressive enough. JCC jr put up more of an effort to trade with Martinez.

                  I recall fans boons Bradley after the Ruslan fight (probably Pac fanatics)

                  If fans are capable of booing Bradley after that show, then I don't care if they boo Rigo. We don't have to hold boxing accountable to delusional fans who think great boxers are defined by their ability to block with their head or the country they were born in.
