Rigo fans shouldn't talk trash about Donaire.

Feel free to hate on whoever you want. I'm simply saying that hating on Donaire doesn't help Rigo, it hurts him by diminishing his accomplishment. Either he beat a top p4p fighter or he didn't. Which is it?

He mopped the floor with a flavor-of-the-month. I was never excited about Norigo. Never called him P4P. Doesnt mean Rigo wouldnt mop up alot of other dudes. Youre reaching but dont trip.. i will still support Rigo whilst bashing Nonino.

Exactly.

So you are okay with a fighter you support not getting TV dates, attracting new fans or even willing opponents?

Well okay but instead you could try promoting the fighter you support, instead of tearing down the guys he fought to make yourself feel better about his situation.

I fully support Rigo and talk him up whenever possible.

I will not however lie to make things sound better. I said pre-fight that Donaire was a good fighter that had an over-rated resume, I still say the same thing now. Guys don't want to fight someone who will beat them easily, nothing I can do about that.

Donaire deserves all the trash talking against him! Donaire was a damn top 5 p4p and didn't do shyyytt in the Rigo fight to win. Rigo made him look like a confused fool!

I was highly disappointed in the Donaire's performance in that fight.

Flavor of the month? Donaire maintained his winning streak for years. That's a lot longer than a month lol.

Nonito Donaire was the best and most accomplished fighter south of welterweight for a long long time. He was and still is a pound-for-pound fighter, without question.

You can feel free to disagree with that. But if you do, you make Rigo's win against Donaire look a lot less meaningful. You would be taking the attitude of a lot of casual fans who think all fighters below lightweight are trash.

I was disappointed too. Donaire didn't seem equipped to handle Rigo's movement and spared aggression. He looked lost for an answer in that match. I don't think he at all expected the patience and discipline that Rigo fought with. He wasn't prepared to put pressure on Rigo and when he finally did try it (with some success) it was far too late in the fight and Rigo adjusted quickly.

A bad styles match-up and poor performance against a great counterpuncher doesn't make Donaire a bad fighter. It makes Guillermo Rigondeaux a great counterpuncher who beat a top p4p guy.

A lot of fighters will take on someone who will beat them easily but nobody will take on someone who will bring no fans to their event and make them look bad in the process. That's Rigo's biggest problem right now and it's not helped by people calling everyone he fights trash. More people might see him if you promote his accomplishments rather than diminishing them. That includes giving credit to the people he fought when it is due.

How is calling a fighter good trashing him?

Donaire was never great to me, he was a good fighter with a over-rated resume. I'm not going to change my view now to say he was great when I've never thought it, just to make one of my favourite fighters sound better - Rigo's ability speaks for itself.

Rigo will beat anyone he fights and is one of the best on the planet - that's the promotion he needs.

Donaire is a very talented boxer who can fight hard and has skills far above average!!
Rigo is a highly skilled boxer who prefers not to fight instead uses counter moves to counter punch!!
The biggest difference between these two as opponents is the fact that the higher skilled boxer is a "southpaw" and the boxer/fighter couldn't adjust to Rigo's style. A clever southpaw is difficult to deal with when your a great fighter let alone a highly skilled one against a very good fighter!!
To defeat Rigo Donaire must get into incredible condition and be prepared to make the fight extremely "Ugly" to watch!! His feet must be quicker and he must be able to "steer" Rigo into positions where Donaire could get off! It won't be easy but I do think if Rigo can be slowed a little Donaire woul have a shot at stopping him late! Rigo is a tall order for Donaire but challenges are what boxing used to be about!! Ray

RIGO IS DONAIRE's DADDY!!!!

Donaire got away with beating up on little midgets but he messed with the wrong midget and got schooled haha. I remember all the crap and threads Donaire fans were posting on how Donaire was going to murder Rigondeaux, the fight will go past 3 rounds, Donaire mocking Rigo with the eye level crap and Donaire posting a video of his him trying to be a badass calling Rigo's team and telling him he needs to stop disrespecting him like if he was a A star celebrity like Pacquiao.......**** OUT HERE!! DONAIRE CAN SUCK ON SOME CUBAN PINGA!!!!
