Dont know bout you guys but , to me, froch-kessler aside, these are two are the most exciting and important 50-50 affairs happening in the coming months. Why havnt they been announced on uk tv yet. Give me these over the money-guerro fight any day. Hope to god boxnation pick them up.
Our only hope is BN, Sky are Wankers who wont go near international fights anymore, I still can't believe they didn't pick up Chavez/Martinez or either of the Rios/Alvarado fights.
They just seem to just getting brit only cards now. Its ****ed up. People slag off bn but been really thankfull for it lately.
This is what Bunce just said on twitter "@sala151183 @stevelillis @boxnationtv I'm on it. Bradley, Alvarado done. Zou, Donaire v Rigondeaux and Canelo v Trout to come"
boxnation should be getting these fights anyway but even more so now the domestic cards have dropped off. if sky started to be interested again in international fights they could finish off boxnation but they dont seem interested. good to see they r getting price n khan domestically they should do more of this with other promotions.
Its swings and roundabouts, if BN didn't exist there wouldn't be any competition, meaning Sky get the cards for naff all. At least thats what ised to happen, but now with competition for the cards, they become more expensive, which means more cards end up on BN. Not complaining, but the biggest fights that end up on BN would be shown on Sky should BN cease to exist.
No chance is Donaire/Rig 50/50. Nonito will knock him out convincingly, look how negative Rigondeaux is against US domestic level fighters, imagine what he'll be like against an accurate banger like Donaire! I'm also convinced that Rigondeaux has a dodgy beard, he's been wobbled a few times by far lesser punchers then Nonito. Donaire can win this any way he likes, boxing of the back foot, or counter off the front foot. Rig has no chance IMO, Nonito is bigger, stronger, more experienced, punches harder, very accurate and has the skills.
I'm really looking forward to Donaire - Rigondeaux but I think it will most likely be a stinker of a fight. When it was first announced I went with Rigo by stoppage and I'm sticking to that. Trout/Canelo is a real pick em fight. Great fight to make.
boxnation has 200k subscribers so they can afford these fights with ease 200k x £10 a month = £2million.
i don't see nonito v Rig as 50/50, especially as the cuban had a bit of a lay-off. Donaire is on fire and has been for a good minute, i see a stoppage for the Pinoy. If i get it wrong then i will be happy for a surprise! Oh the boxing Lords please bless us with these fights to come..Oh Hail Boxnation!
As for Canelo-Trout...Trout wins on points, wether he he actually gets the decision is another story.
Rigo/Donaire and Trout/Canelo have to be shown The top 2 of the divisions fighting eachother I'd favour Donaire 60/40 and Trout 60/40 but still good fights that can't be missed, boxnation should get them though
