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

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

I don't think anyone is arguing a rematch would play out differently. Might even be a boring match but what we do agree on is that the outcome would be the same.

The entire HBO commentating team did a good job of discrediting Rigondeaux's win also. I swear every couple rounds they would say something about the distractions. Baby this, baby that.

It seems like it was all a plan. Talk about the distractions in case you lose. If you don't win, then you have the perfect way out.

Donaire didn't throw the left or right a lot. Did it occur to you that it may have been something that Rigondeaux was doing that made Donaire hesitate?

Before the fight there was a video interview with Roy Jones on this site. Roy basically said there are no distractions for fighters. They still have to pay bills and further their career. But during the fight and after the fight, he started to make excuses for Donaire.

I asked myself why is Roy Jones Jr discrediting another fighters victory when he himself used to be a fighter. Then I saw this ***** during May Day

This shows bias and Roy shouldn't be allowed to commentate future Donaire fights.

I've actually always compared Donaire's fighting style to RJJ's. Mainly because they each had freakish power and athleticism compared to guys they were naturally bigger than -- and, of course, I doubt Donaire [like RJJ] can outbox guys their size or naturally bigger fighters for 12 rounds. Ruiz doesn't count.

Would have loved to see Alexander just fold and never use his hurt, straight left against Purdy. Or Mayweather cry and complain about his shoulder against Castillo or his hand against Famoso Hernandez [any of his fights, really]. It would have been so awesome if Gary Russell made excuses about the hand he hurt in his last fight just in case he lost. You know what's cooler than that? Trout hurting his ankle when he fought Canelo, yeah, the more excuses the merrier. Best thing about Trout is that it wasn't even him saying it, other people in his camp brought that to light. The best find a way no matter what, win or lose.

Donaire tried to put it on the shoulder, and that's fine as long as he enjoys being mentioned in the same sentence as David Haye's big toe.

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.

I gave the guy full credit, go to the RBR thread. Nothing was coming back when Donaire lead with the right hand but he only did it a couple times. Yeah right, Rigondeaux's power neutralized Donaire's right hand but not Marroquin's, GTFO with this nonsense. Of course Donaire was worried about getting countered but it doesn't totally explain the lack of right hands.

I don't think anyone is arguing a rematch would play out differently.

That's all I've been saying and you're acting like I'm picking Donaire to KTFO Rigo in the rematch.

Lol no... It just sounded like you were making excuses like Donaire himself but you clarified it. All good.

I'm not saying that's the case but it could be possible. I'm gonna finish rewatching the fight today. The reason I say it could be possible is cause Donaire probably went into the fight not thinking much of Rigo's power but once he felt it it couldve made him hesistant. He also said Rigo had "decent" speed but once he saw it irl could've made him hesistant too. I guess we wont know for sure.

I seriously doubt it would have been different. It just sounds like a bunch of excuses even now more than a month later. He was KOing people left and right gets a boxing lesson by Rigo and now his should hurts he was unfocused, unmotivated, didn't watch film etc. etc. etc. Rigo boxes his ears off again.

In that case did he get surgery on his shoulder just for the sake of it?
To back up his lies, like you're accusing him of?

I think calling someone a liar who clearly has had surgery on something is very ******, I still don't think Donaire would win in a rematch but what you're insinuating is BS.

Where did I say he lied about his shoulder? What I said was he never mentioned it until he got schooled. Do I need to explain it further??

Let it slide dude, some people are just really defensive when it comes to there favourite boxers.

You have made some good points though I agree, like I said people saying it's all excuses that Donaire is making...
Why did he get surgery?

I still think Rigondeaux probably wins in this rematch but I think it will be a more competitive fight this time around If it does happen that is!
For those saying Donaire needs to earn it???
Rigondeaux will gladly take that rematch at the snap of the fingers, he wants the big pay-day and the only other real big pay-day out there (realisticall) for him atm is Abner Mares but that's a matter of opinion, whether Mares will go down weight or a catchweight is set.

Fighters normally don't reveal injuries before the fight because that's a very ****** thing to do.

LOL way to make a statement and then exclude the one example that can disprove your statement.
