    The stage was set for a robbery. I can't see a case for more than 4 round for Donaire. 4 is the absolute maximum. The fight was really easy to score IMAO unlike a fight like Pac-JMM 3 that I scored wide for JMM but could've gone either way because there were lots of close rounds.

    I watched the international version which somehow ended up with Donaire ahead by a point at the end (live at a bar with predominantly Filipino fans), yet my scorecard was 118-109 for Rigo. The same as everybody on the HBO team on the broadcast I wasn't watching and the same as seemingly everybody in here, just a freaky coincidence?
    Face it, YDKSAB :deal

    No way it was close, donaire won only about 3 rounds, one being the knockdown round and I am a donaire fan before rigo, he fought stupidly and felt he was trying to get the KO most of the time, doesn't utilize his reach and doesn't know how to cut off the ring/trap his opponent but I can't blame him rigo is simply too quick but if he at least tried to do those things I wouldn't be disappointed in him even if he loss

    So the verdict on what Donaire did is jack and ****, jack left town type deals. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Donaire was inactive and folded under the bright lights. Rigo rose to the occasion and showed great class though the whole process.

    Chasing a slick boxer without punching because he was going to get countered like what happened to Pacquiao.
