Comments Thread For: Donaire is Open To Holding His Next Camp in Oxnard

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Not much has been heard from former multi-division champion Nonito Donaire following his unanimous decision loss to Guillermo Rigondeaux in April.

Facing off with the slick Cuban inside of the Radio City Music Hall in New York, Donaire had trouble figuring out Rigondeaux’s southpaw style and was a dealt his first defeat in over 12 years.

Having had a successful shoulder surgery weeks later and with his wife Rachel expected to give birth to the couple’s first child any day now, Donaire’s spirits are again upbeat as he eyes a rematch later this year with Armenia's Vic Darchinyan in an effort to get his career back on track.

“I feel good man,” Donaire told me as we spoke inside of the Texas Station Casino in Las Vegas on Friday night during ESPN2’s “Friday Night Fights” telecast. [Click Here To Read More]

This is simple...IF HBO and BOB ARUM are saying Rigondeaux is boring and nobody wants to see him fight... and HBO and BOB ARUM LOVE HYPING UP Donaire... WHY DON'T THEY JUST GIVE Donaire the rematch with Rigondeaux So Rigondeaux can tap that a$$ again.... and I'M IN SURE.. once Rigondeaux wins again.. PEOPLE will want to see him again... or at least it will make him more popular... since HBO and ARUM basically are crying that their cash cow got a boxing lesson and a beat down... let them do it again right?

Yes, I can believe this Arum and Donaire. For more Arun push Doanire it will be a 2 class fighter until he beat Rigo.

This is what sickens me about boxing today. Why are we reading and talking about Donaire and not Rigondeaux? Donaire would get schooled again in a rematch..

Open to holding his next camp.... isn't he still holding his right eye from that st8 left Rigondeaux kept tagging him with. He lost every single round (except for the hit-on-break knock down) and HBO gives him a date and not Rigo??? Donaire was the boring one who couldn't commit out of fear of Rigondeaux laser like counters. And to think some people actually had the fight close on the cards SMH
When his corner finally did get him to commit (10th round) he thew Rigondeaux on the floor, got the BS knockdown, and took a str8 left that made him go into survival mode. AND Rigondeaux went for the kill... Showtime > HBO

Do you think the rematch would be any more exciting than the first fight? Do you think it would sell better than the first one did?

These are considerations that TV networks and promoters have to make when scheduling fights.

This is what sickens me about boxing today. Why are we reading and talking about Donaire and not Rigondeaux? Donaire would get schooled again in a rematch..

When is the last time you heard Rigondeaux say ANYTHING in the media? Nonito Donaire has made a public presence for himself and Rigondeaux has not.

Why so many articles about Donaire but next to nothing about Rigondeaux?

I said this a few days ago. I think Arum might be trying to starve Rigo into moving up to 126 in order to get a rematch.

Because Donaire goes and talks to reporters whereas Rigo doesn't.
