Why Guillermo Rigondeaux beats Nonito Donaire

I have it a 60-40 fight for Donaire. He's got too much power at 122 for an already small guy like Rigondeaux. I do think Rigo will be extremely competitive. Probably be winning the fight and making him look silly before he gets caught.

 

There is a chance I'm under rating Rigo but I'm pretty sure I'm not over rating Donaire. He is top P4P and has been pro much longer. That actually does count. I think it was the last fight before Gamboa went dormant that he started to show 'a mean streak'. It really does matter in the pros.

 

Rigo is going to counter what a *****.

 

rigo was a kid when he won his first olympic gold medal 13 years ago... :deal

he also put it on Mares in the Ams

 

You don't know **** about boxing. The problem is, Rigo only has his left hand.

His right hook is a non-factor.

He's a one handed fighter. Amateur level.

 

And those comparing Mathebula to Rigo? WTF does Mathebula got to do with Rigo?

I'll tell you one thing, Rigo wouldn't beat Mathebula.

You know why?

Because Rigo gets knocked down by a jab, so he won't be able to get aggressive with a 5'11'' fighter that dwarfs him, not only in height, but in reach.

On top of that, Rigo has no right hook.

SO how the **** would he beat Matehbula?

He wouldn't. Mathebula pecks at him from a distance and wins a decision. My money is on Rigo being too scared to even TRY to win, just like against Cordoba where he let it go to the scorecards.

 

And for the record, this fight is not happening because it's bad business for Arum.

If Rigo somehow wins, that's a huge set back considering the only one with star potential is Donaire.

If Rigo loses, he fades into obscurity considering he has only a niche fan base as it is. He's a negative fighter that speaks spanish, and he's over 30.

This fight won't happen unless it absolutely has to, and Rigo will get knocked out.

 

Lmao , you sound like you don't want this fight to happen , lol , well I got bad news for you : it looks like it's ON at last . Now don't dissapear when Nonita gets starched . THE WHOLE WORLD WILL FINALLY WITNESS GUILLERMO RIGONDEAUX BOXING GREATNESS . Peace .:deal

 

Right. Plain as day. He's so full of bias it's ridiculous.

Word I can see that. I think even if he doesn't get seriously hurt, a solid single shot or couple of them would shake his composure and be a game-changer.

 

Great point, Bog. The first hook Marroquin caught him with was when Rigo was leaning back and he stepped on Rigo's foot. Wasn't a super hard shot, and Rigo panicked. Not a good sign at all.

 

I'm not sure about this fight. I haven't seen Rigo enough to say he wins.

 

I don't see how Mathebula can be compared to Rigo much, if at all. I hope you did notice the ridiculous HEIGHT AND REACH differential between the two. Mathebula has the dimensions of a MIDDLEWEIGHT, so connecting will be skewed his way. Compare this to midget Rigondeaux (who to his credit, is far more skilled but nowhere the same body type). Totally different matchup. Besides why even use punchstats when most people disrespect them anyway?

Narvaez did nothing for 12 rounds, thus he lost all 12 rounds.
