Comments Thread For: Donaire Feels Agbeko Has Good Shot To Beat Rigondeaux

[LA_2_Vegas]

Really like this matchup here.

Agbeko himself is harder to hit than it seems...I see he fought a southpaw in his last fight, but I can't find the tape anywhere.

He has a decent shot at keeping the action competitive, it's just that Rigo appears to be one of those fighters who holds back on going to gear 4,5 and 6...If he were to really turn it up in this fight I think Agbeko would be a sitting duck. But throwing one shot at a time, Agbeko could make him miss and create awkward action up close

Find me a Donaire quote where he said Rigo was running in the fight. And finish the rest of his quote. He's saying it was his body movement that bothered him the most, not his feet. Is that really the most unreasonable thing in the world? And even if he add "it's his body movement" at the end, he's clearly not saying he has no foot speed. He's saying that he's not "too" fast where it's impossible to hit him, not that he isn't fast. He prefaces that statement with Rigo being "very slick" for a reason.

"With Andre, he doesn't run from a fight," said Donaire. "He'll take the fight to you, move forward, and grind a guy down. Rigondeaux will punch, and then dance around the ring..."

He doesn't say "run" but he does compare what Andre Ward does to what Rigo does. If dancing around the ring has nothing to do with body movement.

All of you need to realize Donaire does not know WTF he is saying when he says WTF he says. He's said things about the fight that are completely opposite of things he previously said.

Donaire gave Rigondeaux credit, he's just saying that if Agbeko goes to the body and pressures during the fight he has a good chance.

Mares beat Agbeko and we all saw what Gonzalez did to him.

What's your point? most people thought Agbeko won 1 of those and Mares is still one of the best boxers around just because he got knocked the fk out don't mean he is trash, anybody can get KTFO just ask Pacquiao....Agbeko made Darchynian his b*tch so don't try to **** on Agbeko he is 10x the challenge your boy is taking in Darchynian.

Darchinyan beat Agbeko, he got robbed.

Agbeko has no chance, it will be another boring fight.

Yes just like Donaire beat Rigondeaux it was obvious..... Darchinyan just like Donaire lost in real world that is called an upset Agbeko beat him clearly that was no Pacquiao vs Bradley scoring nobody disagreed with that..... that being said Darchinyan vs Agbeko was closer but if you even saw the fight you would know that Agbeko dominated early Vic tried to mount a comeback but didn't win the 12th and obviously lost a dirty fking fight. Got beat at his own game.

Are you forgetting the fact that Donaire dropped Rigo in the 10th round?
