******Rigo v Donaire - Build-up Thread*****

SEAN MONAGHAN - The Pride of Ireland fighting now.

 

The Top rank stream just died.

 

MONAGHAN wins 1st round KO.

 

Yeah it's ended now...gone to television card now.

 

Verdejo looked amazing. What weight is he fighting at?

 

how old is Rigo?

 

I sort of want to make a prediction before the fight starts but I'm still undecided. Donaire is more experienced and has been in extreme training but he's coming in overconfident if you ask me, I really do think Rigo has a big chance tonight.

 

I think he's fighting at Super Featherweight...he's only 19 and probably the best prospect in boxing under 20.

He was at the 2012 Olympics and nearly beat Lomenchecko at just 18 years old. By the time he's 23 i reckon he will be World Champion.

 

Rigo is 32 but dosen't have much wear and tear on his body from hard fights so he's still pretty fresh and only turned Pro in 2009.

 

No, their not. One has power, one doesn't.

 

Right.

Are we looking at another 1.5 hours? So 5am start?

I'm struggling to hang on here . . .

 

wtf @ his name, lol.

this is the last undercard fight, only 4 rounds, power through!

 

Yeah on paper RIGO is by far the best Boxer that Donaire has ever faced. I have found Nonito come across as rather over confident and dismissive of Rigo in interviews which could be a big mistake as Rigo has genuine power.

 

Dayum!!!
