Originally posted by CubanGuyNYC View PostNot exactly. Rigo engaged for the first four rounds. After he took a good lead, Guille started getting more defensive.
The punch stats for the fight show that Rigo threw more punches. Implying that Donaire was more active is inaccurate.
You call what Guillermo did "running?" What Rigo did was punch and move, commonly referred to as "boxing."
What Donaire did bore no resemblance to that. Nonito literally ran backwards, with his and over his poor eye.
Originally posted by harwri008 View PostIf this is true then HBO need to be ashamed. You're telling me they would rather put on Martinez, Donaire, and Golovkin against bums just to get easy KO's but Rigondeaux's style is not worth watching. If they're refusing Rigondeaux because he's not exciting enough why not tell the others I mention to fight better competition. Better yet, why not tell Golovkin and Martinez they won't show their next fight unless it's against each other. HBO might as well start showing WWE because it seems that's the way they're heading.
HBO forced Donaire and Martinez to step up in competition. HBO forced Donaire to fight Rigondo. Donaire didn't' even really want that fight. Sadly Martinez is past prime and is not having problems with top 10 guys... truthfully Martinez never really belonged at MW, but was forced up there by HBO. so your argument is unfair.

Rigondeaux is the epitome of the sweet science.
Footwork, hand speed, a jab, head movement, ring generalship, etc. After watching him school Donaire, he became my pound 4 pound favorite fighter on the planet. Can't wait for him to jump ship with Showtime.

Originally posted by retnuocllup View PostRigondo does deserve some criticism cause of his boring style... not saying it isn't effective and that he don't win, but it's boring... so if you fight a boring style, you should own it

Rigo & Memo agreed to VADA Testing 6-7 wks before the Donaire fight....which is practically a joke!! On top of that, he won in boring fashion.
I'm no fan of Donaire....but I have no problems with HBO not investing in Rigo.

That's why boxing should be run like a true sport. Some boring as football teams be getting to the super bowl, but people gotta watch it cause its the superbowl.

I sure enjoy the fact that both promoters and networks if they so choose, can wreck a boxer's career and livelihood not based on skills or record, but by how entertaining they are! - Said no fan or boxer ever.
Boxing is special. All the other athletes like footballers, soccer players, swimmers, even golfers, have to worry about is winning. Boxers have to worry about winning and looking entertaining at the same time.

Its Arum's job to promote and get Rigo the right fights, like he did with Donaire.
Arum will have to provide Rigo his fights or he will be breaching contract.
