What a disgraceful performance. Donaire chased him around the ring, Rigo was content to run from one corner to another (tripping off his own damn feet a couple times). Neither guy was especially effective (barring the KD in the 10th by Donaire). I didn't see the schooling you guys are claiming. When one guy throws 15 punches and lands 3 and the other guy throws 25 and lands 4 it is pretty much a wash. Fight reminded me of Freitas vs. Raheem. One guy ran, the other guy chased, the fans lost.

I'm sure I've seen more fights than you and followed it for a longer period of time. I didn't see the schooling, I have no problem with Rigo winning but the guy ran the entire fight. Donaire is also at fault for not letting his ****ing hands go. Look at what he did to Rigo in the tenth, the only good round the entire ****ing fight.
Rigo DKSAB either; he knows how to win a track meet If you defend this fight, you need to also defend fights like Dirrell-Stevens, Hakkar-Hopkins, Fretias-Raheem, Mayweather-Baldomir, etc.
The OP is absolutely right. Rigo landed ****, but landed more. He won. Simple as that. People here think they know boxing because they call that a masterful performance. Lol, that was no Floyd Corrales or Floyd Gatti. That is a schooling, not this.
Actually there were some good exchanges. Rigo got the better of it since his punches were straighter and more accurate. I believe it was rd 1 when they were going at it and Rigo drove Donaire back in the ropes with a straight left. Also, in the 12th Donaire looked like **** since he was too much of a ***** being so concerned about his eye which wasn't really a bad injury at all. Rigo was teeing off on him.
Casual fans lost, you mean. Boxing purists, i.e. the ones that matter and know what they're talking about will see that as a classic performance, one for the ages. We know which category you're in.
I seriously doubt you have seen half the fights I have, otherwise you would of noticed all the crafty and skillful moves from Rigo. Explain how Donaire face was so badly busted up if Rigo didn't do nothing but run? Did Donaire just let Rigo hit him? No Donaire was overwhelmed by the skills of Rigo.
