Comments Thread For: Donaire Wins Tech. Decision Over Vetyeka For Title Win

1. Fighting bums is not by choice. You know that don't be obtuse. He does not have a built in fan base. Canelo for instance fought 40+ bums and still hot ratings just because he was Mexican and got a network to milk him.

2. Rigo is a natural 122. Unlike Canelo, Donaire, and others he does not drain to feast on smaller boxers

well then why doesn't he come up in weight? if hes so fckng good why wont he come up in weight and outclass inferior opponents? because he doesn't want to challenge himself. why doesn't he fight gradovich? their both top rank and HBO fighters? both champs? oh yeah because he'd rather fight bums and brings no money

Floyd and Rigo are alike because they are NATURAL at their weight stop being a tool learn what that means matter of fact Rigo could easily fight at 118 he is so fking tiny, and there is a limit to how any fighter of a certain fight can go up. **** a guy being 5'9 could go up to heavyweight, but there are divisions for a reason at some point your phisical limitations become too great and you become ineffective that's just how the human works. That being said Rigondeaux will probably move up to 126 (which it's what he rehydrates to right now on fight night ) after his next fight said by himself so get of his d*ck lol

Btw he has a guaranteed purse on his contract so he can fight anybody he wants and still make bank. It's top Ranks job to get their moneys worth with the opponents they can get for him unfortunately everyone is scared of him like he is the plague and rightly so.

lol well then hes just wasting away his prime years because hes still fighting nobodies. what is he going to do chase donaire? lame why doesn't he try getting all the belts in his division? limitations? lol almost every great fighter is a multiple division champ, I only have him on my p4p list based on pure skill but in reality he hasn't done **** besides beat Donaire. If theres nobody left to fight or if he thinks everyone is afraid of him then come up to 126, there are plenty of young hungry lions there

Did somebody say donaire is a bum??? lmao....i guess rigo is a olympic bum smh

He will probably do that he said so himself, but not because is a great idea but because the guys in his division ain't jumping at the chance to fight him. **** i was hoping him and Kiko Martinez would happen, but Martinez himself always does a skip over Rigo when he mentions champions he would want to fight. Everyone was saying Mares was too small for featherweight (and he is taller than Rigo by a couple of inches at least) look how that turned out. Not saying it would be the same ****, but that myth that fighters always have to go up doesn't apply to everyone sometimes fighters ain't draining themselves for an advantage and are naturals at a weight and it is a leveled playing field and going up wouldn't level it, but would put them at a disadvantage.

Fighters draining themselves to have advantages is the norm in boxing nowadays, Zombie 135 Rios, Broner, and 122 Donaire himself come to mind. But if you are a natural at a weight where everyone is already draining themselves to be then going up it's more than a challenge it's a handicap. I know very VERY few boxers who have done that successfully. Sure it's impressive, but not smart. JMM,Pacquiao and,Floyd are the only ones that come to mind of my head in that small ass successful bunch. Those guys where pro's their whole lives pretty much, not to mention those guys are destined for the hall of fame without a doubt, so the risk of the handicap can be worth the rewards indeed, but it is a handicap no doubt about that.

Even with all that Rigo would school his ass again.

Uh, you do know that some fighters are better than others?? And that they are allowed to continue with their careers outside of the guys that beat them, right?? Damn, you are new to boxing. Just because there is a fighter out there better than another fighter, that does not mean their careers come to a complete stop, duh.

Sounds like Vet just unraveled and did a completely wrong fight plan. I still think he beats Donut Head in the rematch. He just has to stay disciplined. Donut-Air is still damaged goods IMO. Rigo took him to he!! and back, and he will never again be who he was 3 years ago.

Lol at "took him to hell and back". rigo outboxed donaire, content to mostly pot shot. You talk like rigo beat his ass over twelve rounds and knocked him down for good measure. Donaire has always been vulnerable to boxers, heck even darchinyan outboxed him in their rematch. I'm not a big fan of nonito but you really need to take rigos **** out of your mouth, its poking your brain.

How Pabon has a job still, is amazing. And how is he still doing championship fights, is beyond me.

"Puerto Rican referee Luis Pabon has taken some heat from boxing fans, social media and boxing pundits who feel he made a premature stoppage of the fight between former champions Daniel Ponce de Leon and Juan Manuel Lopez at the Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez in Bayamon, Puerto Rico Saturday night"...

Well Pabon has been already in the middle of controversial fights and in this fight he look miserable. He is very inept but it is hard to say if he is indeed corrupt. On the other hand, Donaire himself acted strange since he requested time to "wipe blood from his eye" and later he found some relief when he was forced to quit in the stool but conveniently just after the conclusion of the 4th round (not before so the fight was official contest). And to make things more strange it was the ring supervisor who made the call (abnormal things happening in Macau).
