Comments Thread For: Video: Donaire Talks Rigondeaux, Injury Recovery, More

[deejd]

Well injuries do get worse over time. He might be lying but I don't get why he didn't throw the right hand more often if his shoulder was 100%.

Exactly and that's why he needed to step in with the right hand to set up his left hook, that's how Marroquin caught Rigondeaux.

He didn't throw it because he didn't like what he was getting back. If it's been hurt for awhile and he's dropping #1 beasts in the division with the right while taking a punch to get his own, that should tell you that maybe, just maybe, Rigo's punching power was able to neutralize his desire to throw his right hand.

The lengths stans will go to. The fight was one-sided from the opening bell, even round 10, Rigo came back after that cheap KD off the break... and you still can't give the guy credit.

Props to Donaire for wanting another crack at his daddy...I don't see the outcome of this one changing though. Pretty much the only meaningful shot he landed on Rigo was set up by an elbow roll and a hit on the break. He barely put a hand on the man.

It's hard for me to believe excuses after a loss. Especially when you say on camera:

"you will see the best Donaire ever"

"after watching his fights I believe he has earned his shot"

Talking about the high-altitude machine he said "it's like doping without the drugs. It's SCIENCE!" that doesn't mean much but I thought it was funny as hell.


All this was said in The Road to Donaire-Rigondeaux.

And what other things did he said to try and discredit rigo? Why would donaire praise his opponent?? Saying rigo has decent speed is already giving rigo his props. U act like other fighters say nice things to their opponent before they fight eachother. If anything rigo and his team was the one downplaying donaire saying rigo could beat donaires last 3 opponents all on the same night and yet u want donaire to praise rigo? lol. Rigo fans is a trip. Ur boy won take it and leave it at that.

You acting like fighters don't praise each other all the time. And what else did Donaire say? Did you already forget all the excuses he was making for a year while fighters like Vazquez Jr and Mathebula? And they were downplaying his opponents not Donaire. Plus they supposed to praise a guy who ducked Rigo for a year? I hope you know only reason this fight happened it was cause Rigo re'uppped with TR and it was put in his contract.

Haaaaaa, but... but... but... Nishi is the #1 guy in the division. He's the best '22-pounder and Donaire is fighting him. Nishi is a beast.

Uh........

I remember that and I called the stans on it for months.. They know who they are. LOL. Nishi #1,

lol I love it.

I didn't read the last quote before the fight, but I remember the other two. You're right; Nonito has a habit of just saying shit. Why should his recent comments be any different?

I asked u what other Shiietz did donaire said to rigo and u can't even come back with an answer. Since fighters priases each other before a fight can u name one for me? And team rigo downplay donaires opponents means they're taking side jabs at donaire. This guy here is a trip lol. Like I said rigo won so why are u crying?

[Basco]

If there is a rematch and we see a similar result, Donaire is going end up looking like a chump! What will the excuse be then?

They want to conveniently forget how hard Donaire tried to wriggle out of the fight. There was a problem according to his camp like every other day for weeks.
