I didn't think Rigo would be able to be the general in there for so long and thought Donaire would adapt to whatever Rigo did. However, the cuban showed me that his poise, balance and strong mind is 2nd to none in this sport. I'm elevating him to #3 on my p4p list right behind Mayweather and Ward.
Donaire was not prepared at all. He under-estimated the skills of Rigo. Boxing is an art and Rigo showed it all tonight. He had masterful footwork while Donaire was walking around flat footed getting timed.
not sure how this fight was even close on some people's scorecards. rigo took donaire to school. what a performance.
Thanks for not making some crass comment about how could I pick donaire the hype job. Seeing your locale is Miami I can only assume you're a cuban american? Congrats, and btw i always thought rigo was better than gamboa whom i'm still impressed with. Very frustrated w/ his stagnate career but still impressed.
No prob my friend. Boxing is boxing and people always get too " emotional " picking their guy. Most guys here never gave Rigondeaux any chance and I was amazed at that but tonight Cuban boxing has been elevated to a whole new level. I am also frustrated with Gamboa's inactivity, the guy also has mad talent. :good
Appreciate it, but i didn't make a thread how china chinned Rigo was gonna get blasted outta there early and knocked cold. So, I don;t have to eat crow like some on here.
