Why Guillermo Rigondeaux beats Nonito Donaire

Same thing applies- Martinez and Donaire are special fighters- Macklin and Rigondeaux are not

 

Kudos for bbchump and bogo for providing insights on both sides of the coin.

Isee were you're coming from chump, it's just that Donaire somehow became a slave of his own power after his destruction of Montiel. When he got his senses back, he went smart and calculating against Nishi and Arce.

 

Audley Harrison also had an impressive amateur back ground. Just saying

 

A grown man beating up 17 year olds.:rofl. Rigo's left is wild. Look at his fights. It is fast, but he drops his right and leaves himself open. The cans he has been fighting have been able to time the counter at times. Nonito will time it easily.

 

I find it really sad that only 2 people are making intelligent and mature posts in this thread out of 6 pages.

I for one admire Rigondeaux's skills and amateur pedigree. He has really good eye coordination, counter and bodypunching skills along with power to boot. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. Rigondeaux can sometimes be lackadasial/too patient while Donaire would occasionally fight down to his opponent's level. However, for me I think Donaire is a much different level of fighter compared to the other fighters that Rigondeaux has faced. He's had some off night performances but most of the time Donaire has performed well against better opponents and his last 2 fights showed that he can still fight very disciplined, which I see him doing against Rigondeaux. I think Donaire is skilled enough to find a way to open up Rigondeaux's tricky defense and be able to win the feinting game as well as beating him to the punch.
Overall I think Donaire is much more well rounded and has had more pro experience against top level fighters (that's not to discredit Rigondeaux) so I would expect him to be the victor. Although I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be a tough competitive chess match.

 

¿ A "grown " man beating " kids " ? , lol , Rigondeaux was born in 1981 , you do the maths . Lmao . Peace .

 

Nonita grow some cojones and fight Rigondeaux , you wasted 2012 fighting names already past their primes and together with that gangster Arum conned your way to a 2012 " Fighter of the year " award , stop running and stop with those excuses that only your ******ed pinoys fans believe . ! It's time to man up ! .please don't waste another year . Lol . Peace .

 

Here's one for you all Nonita fans : ¿ do you think Rigo can't hurt him with those bodyshots ? , ( think long and hard before your response ) . Lmao , :good

 

I'll be back on my regular account soon to reply to the new posts

 

Rigo is "ice" to Nonito's "fire".....but I think Nonito's a perfect blend of skill, speed and power that would overcome any technical advantages that the Cuban AM Legend has.

Given Nonito is faster and more powerful the big question is....how much better is Rig as a boxer than Nonito, if at all? For me I think Rig is a slightly better defensive boxer than Nonito...who isn't really defensive at all. Nonito's style is one who's foundation is that of an offensive fighter.

Nonito gets tagged more simply because he's more of an aggressive fighter who can counter and play defense but likes to attack. Rig is on who likes to lay back, set traps and capitalize when opportunities present themselves.

Nonito and Rig are both very polished fighters who are at the peak of their careers. Nonito is younger...has more professional experience at the elite level where Rig has a bunch of international AM experience...but only a handful of pro bouts. That's a big difference.

I got Nonito beating Rig fairly one sided....a lot will have to do with the experience factor but most of the outcome will be based on the styelistic match up that favors Nonito.

 

I think Donaire could starch Rigo with one punch with either hand, but he simply doesn't throw enough punches. Swarmers are going to give Rigo trouble, not people who stay outside and try to pick shots. I think Mares would beat Rigo for reason.

 

Do you favor Rigo?

 

I just can't see Rig's weak ass chin holding up. People are saying hes gonna box circles around Donaire, and they may be right, but Donaires got power and speed to match. Hes gonna tag Rigo sooner or later, he isn't Margarito.
