Mares justifiably has the better reputation based on resume, but I don't like this match-up for him. In fact, I'd say the obscure guys at this weight Top Rank and Golden Boy respectively have match up better with the superstar from the other promotion, not their own. That is, I think Moreno would have a lot more success against Donaire than he did against Mares, and I think Rigondeaux is more likely to have success against Mares than Donaire.
Yeah? :blood You think Moreno's punches would keep Donaire at bay? Or you think Moreno is fast on his feet, and Donaire is slow? Man you're ridiculous.. :rofl :rofl Donaire beats them all.. Brutal beating on Mares.. :deal By the way, Mares beats RIgondeaux.. :smoke
I don't think Donaire would fight the balls to the wall style that Mares did against Moreno and I think it's very plausible to see Moreno's length giving Donaire problems like Mathebula did in the middle rounds of that fight (and let's not forget, Moreno is much better defensively than Mathebula). Regardless, the point was merely Moreno would have a better chance against Donaire than Rigondeaux does, not a statement of their absolute abilities. Glad you didn't allow my mere comparative point not get in the way of letting your Donaire Fan Club badge shine through though :roll:
rigo is like the most technicle boxer in the world. defence, footwork combined with a good knowledge of combinationg punching along with punching power. nobody beats rigo in and around his weight division.
Dude, Darchinyan who is a brawler himself did managed to be competitive by fighting Mares on the outside.. :deal Moreno can't keep Mares at bay because he lacks in power.. :deal Donaire is a better counter puncher than Moreno and has that one punch fight-ender.. Rigondeaux has the same tools but he's character will be put to a test against Mares unlike Donaire who gambles a lot to land a bomb.. And Donaire can definitely pick his punches.. Did you see the way he moved against Concepcion? Moreno and Rigondeaux might go down to round 12 by a boring cat and mouse chase but still lose wide.. And Mares goes down within 6 to 8 rounds.. :deal
Irrelevant to anything I've posted. Supports my point about Moreno having specific problems against Mares' style in that fight. Irrelevant to anything I've posted. Okay, but having the tools to potentially keep Mares at bay therefore gives him advantages Moreno lacked, which was half of my point. And of course I said nothing about a fight between Donaire and Mares. Irrelevant to anything I've posted. Oh great, you're posting more irrelevant praise for Donaire.
Call me biased but i see Rigo having more chances of beating Mares than Donaire. styles make a fight; Rigo will have more trouble getting thru Donaire's jabs and size( not to mention staying away from his power) Mares can be hit and Rigo hits way harder than Moreno who was tagging Mares constantly. Mares best game is his constant pressure and Rigo is a master counter puncher. an easy fight? no way, Mares will keep coming and if he can take Rigo's shots will depend of Rigo keeping his stamina on check which translates in a long night for him. but i see it 60-40 for Rigo
I see it this way too when it comes to Rigo-Donaire vs. Rigo-Mares. Expect LordJomski to "refute" this post with more flowery prose about Donaire's amazing abilities.
I'm not just referring to your post, I was also posting ideas of my own.. :hey When was the last time Donaire run for survival? I don't see it coming with COrdoba.. Who was the best boxer Moreno has out-boxed? WHo? Louder please.. And your claiming he's gonna out-box Donaire because he's longer.. :rofl So what if he's long.. He's not strong.. Donaire would go out there swinging with nothing to be afraid of.. :deal Rigondeaux could win against Mares by a 12 round cat and mouse chase.. But Rigondeaux chin is questionable.. And I don't really care at all.. My point is.. Donaire beats them all.. :deal Brutal beating on Mares, as long as Mares can last.. :deal
More pointless Donaire slurping. Mathebula is featherfisted as well and gave Donaire more trouble than anyone in ages because of his particular physical attributes (to reinforce this, feel free to look up the CompuBox numbers and post-fight pictures from that bout as well given the idiocy you pushed after Pac-Marquez III). If you don't think Moreno, who's better than Mathebula in every way and far slicker, couldn't have some success as well, then you're simply reinforcing the fact that you are a mere fanboy. Again I said nothing about Moreno actually picking up the victory but was making the point that Donaire is a more favorable style match-up for him than Mares, just as Mares is a more favorable style match-up for Rigondeaux than Donaire. Then why the hell are you responding to this thread given the topic? Oh I see, just to post more uninsightful fanboy bull****. As if it wasn't obvious already.
Yeah Donaire was in trouble.. It was really a tough fight.. :rofl MAn you're ridiculous.. And you compare it to the Pac-JMM III? :yikes Man you suck.. BIGTIME.. How many meaningful shots did Mathebula land? And compare it to Pacquioa? YOU SUCK! :rofl And what success are you talking about? :nut Like Moreno did out-boxed Sydorenko.. For two times already.. :rofl More favorable of Rigo than Nonito? You are a joke.. :deal edit: purephrase believed I was serious when I said DOnaire was in trouble and Mathebula was a tough fight.. I guess he doesn't really know what sarcasm is..
