Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux's Manager: Good Progress Made With HBO

Stop it, Donaire ran for his life in the 12th round! And got a beat down for the other 11

All I'm saying is Rigo could of finished Donaire off. I never said Rigo was running bc he wasn't running, also he wasn't pushing the action either til that 12th rd.

I also don't understand Rigo's gangsta hard stance after getting knocked down like he was about to turn on the pressure skills and KO Donaire bc Donaire was asking for it.

Donaire was hurt several times in that fight, including the first round where he realized Rigo could hit and put his ass in check for the rest of the fight. There's a reason he was reluctant to bum rush him.

The situation though is just sad. The best pure boxer in the sport on his knees pleading to be put on television. F hbo.

Like he managed to take out all Donaire's "aggressiveness" with one punch in the first round? Donaire looked disoriented since then...
Amatuerish, huh?

Rigo tried to go toe to toe with Donaire and got knocked down NOT IN THE FIRST ROUND! If Nonito wasn't aggressive with the knock down he surely would kill Rigo if he should show aggression!

Can't wait to see Rigo back making fighters eat their own leather.

You've seen another fight, chap...
Donaire got tagged so bad in the very first round, when he rushed ahead -- and that's why he stayed super-cautious the rest of the fight.
In round 10, Donaire delivered his only good punch -- while in a clinch, Donaire pushed with his left forearm and clipped Rigo with a left hook. That's all he did that night.
(Not to mention that, in the 12th rd., Rigo put Donaire in survival mode and left him with a closed eye and a bloody nose. Remember Donaire with his right glove glued on his own face?)
HBO gave Rigo eleven rounds...

If lil Floyd Catchweather boxes scientifically people defend em and call it boxing, but if other avoided champions like Rigondeaux or Miguel Vasquez do it they get called boring fighters and runners. This is b u l l sh it.

Not sure what the hell that dude is talking about. That was a very cheap knockdown and other than that nonito got spanked. His fans have a hard time coming to terms with that. All you heard was how he was going to KO Rigo and all that I remember is this:
