    I'd favor rigo to win the rematch ,but his chin is not great ,he got kd once , if donaire will be more aggressive in the rematch he may ko rigo.

    I wouldn't favor Nonito but he definitely has a shot. He's shown the capacity to improve before, and it's obvious the boos got to him and accentuated the pressure he felt to press for a KO. At his worst, and at Rigo's best, he was able to drop him (though not really hurt him). It's very obvious what he needs to change-cut off the ring, avoid lunging, throw more than one punch at a time, don't fear throwing with Rigo, set up the right hand, throw to the chest for when Rigo ducks down, invest in the body, don't be afraid to hang back defensively and bait Rigo, etc. That seems like a lot to improve on, but he has the tools, and in a sense it's comforting that he has so many things to work on because it means he has options when going back to the drawing board.

    Yeah he should be more aggressive this time so he can run into that counter straight left even faster and get flattened lol

    Nonito simply isn't talented enough to beat rigo. It's not even close sorry.

    i dunno. Sure, Donaire could win. This is boxing after all. But Rigo looks to be in a different league.

    I see Phonaire getting KOd. Rigo gave him a little too much respect. It will be a beat down next time. Besides, Donaire don't want any of Rigo. You can bet Donaire will be using the boring, running excuse to duck Rigo. Donaire loses 11 out of 10 fights to Rigo. The 11th in his nightmares.

    I don't think you understand what your witnessing here. Rigo is a very special fighter, with remarkable skills and talent. If donair goes into the rematch with the mind frame he can KO Rigs, the results will be the same only worse.

    Skill wise Donair is not be on Rig's level- Donair will have to bring something new to the table, other then just throw more punches..

    your not going to beat a fighter like rigs by just throwing more punches. out or the 400 amateur fights how many fighters do you think he faces at a world class level who threw more punches ?
    Not trying to blow holy smoke up Rigs ass or anything but
    Rigs has too many tool in his arsenal to be beaten by something so simple fight plan.
    Because the game plan your describing , to me sounds a lot like luck ...

    Two different levels, the fact that even as a counterpuncher Rigo threw more and landed more says a lot. Donaire didn't want to punch, because he'd just get damaged more by the superior fighter. If they rematched (They won't, Donaire made that very clear) and Donaire opened up, there's a very good chance he would get stopped. Rigo was dominant in every way. It really was an exceptional performance by Rigo, I'm going to go and watch it again.

    Sure he can beat Rigodaux in a rematch, but fact remains that was a masterclass we saw on Saturday.

    With Donaire's one shot power you can't count him out in any fight...

    Are you really this dumb or are you trolling?Rigo put on a clinic against a top p4p fighter,Donaire cant deal with movement and had no plan b at all..and i bet on Donaire.Rigo landed the harder punches and made Donaire run into punches because he was setting traps
