    great gameplan by rigo team: make Donaire at the offense and try to counter and frustrate donaire by using his footwork. Donaire misses and gets countered, gets frustrated. Once a fighter gets frustrated, he could forget about his gameplan, which was what Rigo was waiting for. garcia didnt even advised Donaire for any good advice to move his ****ing head or trap rigo on the ropes.

    Based off of that performance, I'd say he's top 3 p4p. What about you guys. He might much much greater than we think. If he's the greatest amateur boxer of all time then he might very well be one of the greatest pro boxers of all time.

    Of course. I'm still a fan of Mancini, despite a KO loss of AA :deal

    That was a brilliant display of defense, footwork and counterpunching. If you can't appreciate it, I feel sorry for you.

    :lol:

    Glad you mentioned that fight because it resembled Rigo/Donaire a lot.

    Vazquez schooled Gesta silly.

    Donaire had no solution for Rigondeaux. Great display of skills and speed. But 115-113 and 114-113? What fight were they watching?

    We can take it two ways.

    Donaire was extremely overrated or Rigo with 12 fights is extremely underrated. I think it is a bit of both.

    For a p4p number 2 or 3 where ever you have him to get schooled like that without even letting his hands go is shameful.

    He has good boxing skill he acquired from long years in the ams, but once connected, he gets down. that's what he misses: the headgear.

    Good thing rigo has that great body and footwork, which makes him evade those counter left by donaire. props to rigo for the win:good

    Man upset Rigondeaux took this, im a nonito fan, but he schooled him. I had it 116-112 for el chacal. Nonito needs to let his hands go in combinations. Dont get why he keeps looking for that one knockout punch. Props to Rigondeaux. I think all boxers should try to mimick his footwork as it is close to perfection imo.
