      Neither ran in that sense, both are counter punchers so it led to a less than exciting fight. Donaire was the one who had to change his style to initiate the action, and once Rigo started catching him he was afraid to let his hands go.

      Both are great fighters, just Donaire couldn't adjust to being the aggressor and throw combinations. Seemed like he had no other game plan other than go for the left-hook KO which is disappointing for a fighter of his caliber. Donaire could've easily let Rigo initiate the action, but he seemed to be affected by the boos and tried to press the fight.

      It's like when Marquez fought Mayweather- Marquez is an amazing fighter in his own right, but fighting out of his style made him very uncomfortable. Doesn't help that both Rigo and Mayweather were faster than them either so every time they threw the first punch, they could expect a quick counter to follow.

          Didn't you get the memo, bro? Unless you come straight forward, throwing punches in windmill fashion, you're running!

                lol true, in the first two rounds when he felt Rigos straight left, he didn't want to feel it again.

                      nobody was running. it was a boxing chess match. they were slipping and sliding to avoid getting tagged.

                      if u know boxing u'd understand that both fighters were thinking how to make the precise attack without paying the mistake.
