Arum Says Donaire-Rigo April 27 In Vegas

I don't believe anything until there is a press conference and both fighters are sitting at the table.

 

Rigo is serious ****, I find it disturbing that people who "follow" boxing would be this ignorant about "their sport". I'm not saying he beats Donaire per se', but he'd be the best fighter Nonito has fought to date, imo.

 

Really hope this fight happens. Both can knock each other senseless and both are tremendously skilled fighting out of their preferred styles. Easily one of the best fights out there right now. I'd probably side with Donaire to win by stoppage, but if the opposite happened, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised.

 

Nonito lost to mathebula in my eyes

 

Maybe now is a little too early for a technical breakdown, but who will lead in this fight? I'm thinking Rigo most likely, but both like to counter more than push the action.

This, stylistically, might not create all that tv friendly of a fight, even with a high level of skill.

 

And the fight with Arce wasn't a waste????

I prefer Donaire-Mares but we all know TR doesn't do business with GBP therefore Donaire-Rigo has to happen. I couldn't care less how many fights Rigo has. He is a far better challenger than Arce.

 

rigo, better have that raft ready to set sail back to Cuba on tbe 28th.

 

the arce fight was a cashout payday farewell fight from bob arum.

It was a staybusy fight for Nonito.

Rigo is going to get sparked badly because of his chin, then you can hate donaire al you want when he exposes this lazy cuban.

 

Boxing fans are very bandwagon, the group think in this thread is very strong.

 

Then think of this **** as a tune up or stay busy fight before Donaire takes on Mares or whenever Arum is ready to let his mini cash cow finally take a risk. Stop complaining about how Rigo doesn't deserve the fight, because I can list endless examples of fights that Arum has made in which fighter B was undeserving. And if Rigo beats Donaire, don't call it an upset because it isn't. Gesta, Pacquiao...who's left? Donaire is your last hope.

 

i wanna see cuban glass shatter

 

yes he has great movement, you will see him do the chicken dance much better than judah once donaire shatters than grade B cuban glass

 

now I can see why some hate on donaire, I notice some the likes of you also hated pac and *******s and this post just convinced me it was the reason... I could understand people hating because of that because I don't like pac also

lets just be clear for the record, nonito is AMERICAN:deal

 

So much **** talking, this fight HAS to happen. We can't have another Pac/Floyd type debate for years....

 

I can actually see Rigo out boxing Donaire and frustrating him all the way to a UD.

But then I thought Montiel would have been a stiff challenge...
