    Nice, a perfectly clean one, i.e. no thumb for trolls to ***** about ;)

    wow. what a punch, and that is the punch which seemed to hurt Donaire and really stop any momentum he had to score a late knockout.

    Perfectly timed slipping to the outside of the jab to land the power left. Knew exactly were he was in the ring, knew the right to the body was out of range, great awareness.

    Credit to Donaire though, that was a knockout punch even if it landed up there.

    That was the first time I ever saw Donaire BACK PEDDLE after being hit

    Donaire has some chin on him.

    Numerous times during the fight Rigo would land clean hard punches that made me shout "Oh shittt!!" but he rarely showed signs of being hurt.

    what a chin Donaire has. Had Rigo moved to the left just a little and punched a little lower he might have knocked out Donaire with that punch. Credit to Donaire for taking that punch.

    Yep totally agree, that last round he was hurt in the eye pretty badly, but during the whole fight his legs were never shaky and he took a few hard flush shots coming forward.

    I've actually heard and felt someone's orbital bone crack,and that punch reminds me of it very much.

    The calmness of Rigondeaux is chilling. He's barely moving he's so sure he got Donaire trapped.

    Did anybody watch that and go, "why no right hand behind it?" Because I kinda did. I understand the strategy but his face was basically begging to be hit with a right hand there and his nervous system was shattered by that first beautiful shot.
