Mathebula = Caballero wannabe. Donaire said "undisputed champ" meant 3 belts (lol) and only said "maybe" to Rigo as an opponent. This guy is a joke. atsch
I like Donaire but I don't think he wants any part of Rigo, just too much skill and class. He has a puncher's chance obviously because he hits like a freight train and Rigo's Chin is VERY suspect, but I think he loses a lopsided decision. I would still love to see this fight, however. Actually, there are a plethora of match-ups I'd like to see at 122 as it is a great division and Gary Russell Jr. is only 4 lbs up which only increases the possibilities.
yeaaa he definitely sounded like he wanted no part of him haha undisputed being 3 belts makes no sense.
How is Donaire a joke? He's one of the best fighters in the world. He wants Nishioka next, the best in the division. Who has Rigondeaux beat? Everyone said he was exposed against Cordoba, he KOs a few club fighters and he's the best fighter in the world all of a sudden. I rate Rigondeaux, but Donaire has been fighting at world level for years. Boxing fans are so fickle.
Donaire is eyeballing Nishioka... That's obvious. Then an Arce fight I'd bet, since Arum can make it happen. Rigo is not in the mix & Mares won't happen for obvious reasons.
I think that Arum plan all along! Sign good fighter, so he can keep them away from his future cash cow
Donaire has way too many flaws to beat any of the top possible opponents. He lacks defense, power is beginning to fade, has no idea how to fight inside. Plus, the guy can't draw flies! He barely drew 3,000, which is pathetic for a so called P4P fighter. He best not fight Mares, Rigondeaux, Gamboa, Gary Russell Jr, or any top quality fighter. He tries to be more than he is, which is basically a good fighter, but he's definitely not even close to the P4P conversation. Last night's toothpick with arms he fought was a joke. and no, he wasn't playing with him either. He was trying to KO him all night, and looked horrible and limited doing it. Mathebula had nothing but some pitty pat punches that landed all night. I'm telling you guys right now, Donaire will be exposed badly, and he won't be the Filipino Flash, but a Flash in the Pan that thinks he's better than he really is. nononononononononono
isnt Arce with GBP tho? one things for sure, there most likely be no money issues if he wanted to fight rigo.
Nah, he's with Top Rank. Arum wants Nonito to fight him next, but Nonito seems to want Nishioka, which is a much better fight.
