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

[DannYankee]

What do people expect him to say? "Yes he's a better boxer, smarter, faster and stronger in the ring"? Of course not he'd throw the BS excuses the baby hes pregnant wife the 3 year old injury during which he strolled into a fighter of the year award, everything but the truth. I swear this kid annoys the **** out of me now i used to be a fan but every time i hear him say no excuse but here is my excuse is like hearing a dude say no **** then he proceeds to suck some d*ck.

Truth is Donaire looked like a lost puppy in that fight he wasn't as much of an unstoppable force as he thought and couldn't overcome because he did meet an unmovable object.

I remember before the fight how rachel told me how excuses were only for sore losers and that after the fight she didnt want any etc etc. But look at them now haha Anyways bring on the rematch so that rigo can beat him again and see what new excuses donaire will make smh

real ****ing talk!!...that exchange made Flash put his guns on safety....he didn't expect Rigo to be packing a a scoped out automatic assault rifle....he thought he was up against a punk ass .22 or something

Sounds good to hear he wants a rematch.... Hope it happens

The night of the fight Nonito was @ 142lb, I was like Rigo fighting Danny Garcia or a Lucas. Now all bla bla bla, I like Nonito but he should move to 126lb and try there. Rigo is one of the best in all times, Rigo can take the science of boxing to a different level.

Rigo's style was all wrong for that Donaire that night. Donaire went in with a left hook. That's it! Rigo, the southpaw, neutralized that effectively with his defensive style and movement.

Donaire also had trouble cutting off the ring and didn't throw enough combinations.

Donaire has to be less flat-footed and work on cutting off the ring. He needs to work on using his right hand much more when the opponent neutralizes any opportunity for Donaire to use his left, as Rigo did. If he does the above then opportunities will open up to throw his much more effective left hook.

Some things are hard to change/improve ...... only time will tell

These are good adjustments that Donaire should make. However people forget to mention that Rigondeaux now has a feel for Donaire.
He will also make his own adjustments.
Rigo did not barely escape with a win... he lopsidedly whooped Nonito. To put it simply, Rigo will counter-adjust Donaire's adjustments...

I'm surprised this thread slipped by without any comments. Donaire wants a rematch with Rigondeaux, saying he was "unfocused" and "overconfident" in their meeting. I would be happy to see a rematch, this time in Miami.

i would be shocked if rigondeaux will sell tickets in maimi. shocked. they would have him fighting there already if he were a draw.

cubans have never really supported boxers in the states, at least not in the sense that they make them an economically viable draw.

rigondeaux is almost certainly going to spend his career without any fanfare aside from hardcore boxing fans, who really don't drive ticket sales.
