when did rigo become a master boxer?

[soul_survivor]

u didnt know who rigo was until he beat donaire.
and because everyone said donaire is gangsta, u thought he was in his prime.

well FYI, donaire was not in his prime just because u started noticing him when hes fighting at 122.

donaire was woopin ass from flyweight to super flyweight to bantamweight to super bantamweight.

thats 4 weight classes before losing a 12 rd decision to rigo.
and he got taken to school.. how? by scoring a KD on rigo?

what? The fight was years ago, get over.

I'm a huge Donaire fan too and I expected him to beat Rigo, who he had trumped for size, reach and power but he couldn't. Rigo transferred his amateur tricks into a pro ring and boxed Donaire off the back foot almost all night.

You're not wrong, Donaire was a beast in the lower divisions and destroyed genuine world champions and will always be ranked higher than Rigo all time but Rigo was too good for him that night, prime or not.

Donaire's punches = nivek535 troll threads
Rigondeaux = NSB posters

Great bit of revisionist history here. Rigo was a 3/1 underdog for this fight and Donaire was a top 5 P4P fighter. Outside one KD in round 10 Rigo pretty much controlled the entire fight.

Up there with the best single win of the last 5 years.

Feel free to say Donaire is Rigos only good win, but to try and act like it wasnt a good win is crazy.

Very much this.

until he ran into rigo, donaire had one of the best resumes of his generation. however in my opinion he fell in love with his power and became one-dimensional. he actually used to be incredibly skilled

[Eff Pandas]

He always was. When Gamoboa defected. I was most excited about Rigondeaux, then they caught Rigondeaux, so I waited 2 years until he finally made it out.

Its like asking when people knew Lomachenko was the goods? After he demolished everyone winning 2 gold medals. Especially since he was KOing people in the Amateurs.

This right here. Rigo was a master as an amateur. Those high level Cuban amateurs got mucho skills & Rigo was the best of them (imo).

Also OP you act like you didn't even watch the fight. Getting KD happens even while schooling someone sometimes. No better example of that than Douglas over Tyson. Douglas got dropped, but he was whitewashing Tyson. Same with Rigo over Donaire.

You kind of exposed yourself OP. Didn't know about him till after Donaire?

[Loque-san]

You know you're a desperate Rigondeaux hater when you bring up the fake KD against Donaire. OP is butthurt because Salido took Loma's 0 LOL.

[IFightDirty]

can't believe Garcia trained Donaire over the ****in phone for that fight..

Are you serious???

Ignorance is bliss, so enjoy your blissful hate.
by the way, your blissful hate have brought you to write some posts against a person you hate, thus bringing him into the spotlights n getting rebuked by others, at least here, looks like a very smart way of hating n trying to make somebody dissappear, as a smart as some boxers.
