Comments Thread For: Donaire Admits Defeat, Schedules Shoulder Surgery

[Cnota21]

I listened to the interview, and it did not sound sincere AT ALL. He still had the audacity to say he was still better than Rigondeaux, but that is the initial reason he lost. Because he cannot admit that. Rigo is clearly better than him. The sooner he admits it, the more prepared he would be to fight and MAYBE win against Rigo. Yes, he failed to study Rigo. Where Rigo came from. The harsh world Rigo grew up in that made Rigo who he is today. Which is a much deserving champ. One thing I believe Nonito was right in, was that yes, Rigo did respect Nonito TOO much. Cuz if Rigo wouldve thrown just a bit more punches, and not given the respect he seemed to have for Nonito, Nonito wouldve had more serious problems, possibly wouldve been TKO'd. I think for the rematch, Nonito is going to be outta here via TKO.

BTW, the host of that radio show was a joke, and should get fired. He was just on Nonito's nuts the whole time. You dont know **** about boxing Radio Host guy.

i'd skip surgery and take the following classes:

footwork 101 and 201
how to cut off the ring in 3 easy steps
jabbing-how to do it and when to use it
bodypunching-the key to slowing down movement

nonito will need to take plenty of notes so he cant afford to have his shoulder immobilized.

Lmao! So true!

Not once he praise Rigo footwork, speed, power, ring generalship, ring IQ or how difficult is to hit a moving target. It was all about him not doing or trying to engage and make a fight. Yeah, that is very classy.... He beat Arce, Nishioka, Mathebula and he is praising him how tough they are and great. He gets schooled and he cant give talk about Rigo skills.

I listened to the interview with Nonito, and the only thing he admitted to was defeat, and I don't think he meant it, I think he was just on damage control, Bob or somebody probably told him he was lossing a lot of fans for being a cry baby and not admitting the simple truth, that Rigo is unlike anyone he has ever faced! And that night he was schooled in the art of boxing. Rigo landed more and shockingly appeared to have more power than Donaire. And I think that first punch that made him stumble back in the 1st made Donaire scared to just come in. Anyway not a good job of damage control when you start the interview apologizing and then end it with a bunch of excuses, my shoulder, the baby, the weight, I want catch weight for our next fight, I made the fight, didn't study ths guy, I didn't do my game plan etc.. RIGO didn't allow you to do your game plan get it!
Repeat after me. I Nonito am never going to beat you Rigo EVER because your the better fighter so thanks again for your beautiful boxing.

After the first four rounds, I leaned over to my friend and said, "Donaire's not pressing the action. I think Nonito felt something he didn't like." After the fight, Donaire claimed he didn't feel Rigo's power until the final round. That's bullshit. If it were true, Nonito would've followed Guillermo around the ring, throwing punches, the same way he has with everyone else. The fact is, "El Chacal" can crack. Donaire knows that firsthand now.

He is a true boxing master, and it sucks that a lot of so called boxing fans didn't see Rigo undress a top 5 P4P fighter in Nonito. It was one of the best boxing clinic I have ever seen, and I've been watching boxing for 25 years now, and I don't care about race or style as long as you do your thing right. I'm so happy I have it recorded on my DVR!
