    Tell me how spending the entire fight running, not engaging, seldom counterpunching constitutes a ten rounds to two margin?
    I ain't saying Donaire won, I am saying it was never that one sided.

    Pressed the action, attempted to engage, constantly on the front foot. All of which should be taken into account when the rounds are that close.
    I guess it's a case of what you like, I like boxing not running.

    Just watched the fight & Rigo was virtually punch perfect, I had him winning 118-109. Great footwork & balance as always from Rigo he bossed the fight from start to finish, Donaire couldn't get set & when he did land Rigo came firing back.

    As good as Rigo looked Donaire just didn't turn up & his performance was very below-par compared to how he's looked in recent years.

    Stunning result, Viva Rigo :happy

    Lmao, so you give someone a round because they attempted to engage but missed every punch, its funny how everyone had Rigo wide apart from you :think

    Don't forget also

    He had tens of thousands on Hatton to win against Senchenko
    Munroe to beat Quigg in the rematch
    and recently Matthews v Crolla 2 to not go the distance!!!!

    Yeah study I think your wrong on this one.

    After rd 1 you could tell donnaire was uncomfortable in there. No rhythm at all, was getting countered and made to miss regularly.

    When the other guy does absolutely nothing then yes. I believe you should.
    Everyone is hugging rigos nuts when he has produced the most negative display I have seen in years.

    Was a masterclass in foot work by Rig landed the more solid shots throughout the 12 rnds and anyone who appreciates the skill of the game to hit and not be hit clearly enjoyed Rigs performance including me

    See you keep saying its negative and running but you dont actually say what boxing is about, landing more punches than your opponent, people like you refuse to give people fights because you dont like how they fight

    I thought it was a close fight upon 1st viewing but had Rigo winning it great fight from a technical perspective donaires lack of jab cost him in this one imo
