Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux To Donaire: You Want It? See You in March!

NO. Don't want to see this fight. For one thing, Donaire's not ready for a rematch. For another, I don't want to see a 12 round track meet around the ring.

donaire doesn't won't non... he didn't look too good in his last fight!! rigo fight must be giving him flash backs still

[Sugar Q]

Right! I think Nonito's game plan is a mistake or ineffective when he fought Rigo. Nothing more nothing less. If there is a rematch, all he needs to have is a better game plan. Dude has all the tools he needed to blast out Rigo.

All the excuses are very disrespectful to the fighters who work very hard at their craft. Donaire was an outclassing waiting to happen. He didn't look so good BEFORE Rigo, Rigo just exploited Donaire for the hype machine that he is and if Donaire faces Rigo again or Salido he will lose again.

Donaire need to develop a jab and listen to his coach. Rigo needs to fight a real pro. Take away that amateur mentality, fans won't buy to see a fight like that.

Wow, are you a psychic or something? While Rigo is a shrewd boxer, he hasn't carried his power to the higher weight classes. It's pretty evident in the first fight that Donaire can take Rigo's best punches, even when he's careless, which I don't believe he will allow himself to become in the rematch.

Donaire will have trouble loading up on Rigo, that's for sure. But Rigo's apprehension about that left hook of Donaire will prevent him from becoming overly aggressive. TBH, the KD in the first fight was kind of fortuitous. It was a punch out of a clinch. But still, it was not really a hard punch. Certainly not the vaunted left hook, more like a looping left kisser. But it'll keep Rigo thinking. The only way Rigo will get the KO is by attrition - an accumulation of punches, something like in Mayweather's earlier fights. But I don't see that happening. Rigo is nowhere near the offensive powerhouse that Mayweather is.

Lets see a rematch.

If its Rigos best payday. Great. Get that easy $$$$.

If not, who cares? I don't demand rematches for one sided uneventful fights with no controversy.

I'd rather see Donaire vs Walters, Lomachenko, John and Salido and I'd rather see Rigo vs Santa Cruz, Lomachenko, Frampton, Mathebula, Mares or some of the champions at 118.

I don't know why lame excuses from a fighter who clearly lost his confidence has people interested in Top Rank Pointless rematch 4,325.

Donaire got his swagger back in the 9th round, it took a while but it's back. Donaire KO/TKO Rigondeaux in the 11th if they meet.

I think the most popular thing to do right now at boxingscene is to say "Donaire don't want it."
