What I'm saying is, Rigo is dangerous to the body and likes to go downstairs. To do that against Donaire though, Rigo is going to be at risk for taking big shots with either the left OR the right (which is underrated on Donaire's end). If Rigo can land some good bodywork, he can do more damage than Arce. But he'll be taking a chance at going to sleep every time he tries due to the size advantage + counterpunching ability of Donaire.
Considering he is the hardest puncher at the weight I dont really believe his chin has been tested thoroughly Wait til he steps up to Featherweight/Super Featherweight before claiming he has an iron chin, Flyweights and Bantamweights dont have incredible power compared to the bigger fighters like Salido and Gamboa.
Not to mention he keeps his hands down worryingly low considering he has shown a suspect chin. If Donaire catches him with a clean shot I personally believe its game over for Rigo which is a shame as I originally thought he would beat Donaire easily but Nonito carried his power up through the weights and Rigo is a KO waiting to happen, if not by Donaire then by somebody north of the SuperBantam weight border
Rigondeaux has a chance to win but he needs to box the fight of his life and hope Donaire is careless. I see Donaire winning by either KO'ing Rigo with his left hook or straight right.
Oh I agree with you there, Rigo is a far better technician than Donaire but over a 12 round fight I dont think he can keep Donaire off of him for the full 12 and as soon as Donaire lands its lights out. Rigo cant afford to slack and cant be dragged into a brawl
Yeah either way it's going to be an excellent fight. The fight is taking too long to get here, I'm excited already.
Tell me this is a joke . Am I conversing with youngsters who just got into boxing .Rigo knocks out Donaire no problem at all . after the second round press the off button on your remote . Rigo going to absolutely humiliate your boy. Rigo can knock out Donaire when he chooses too. Remember when pacman got starched was you shocked? . I am more sure of this fight that donaire will take the knee for the full count put it this way I can see him just sitting on the canvas with his hands on knees looking at Garcia. The task was just unattainable . sorry . fans . rigo will make you his fans and I will come back to each one of you sit down and break bread . and teach you the basics of pugilism and not nutthuggerism
Oh, the irony you have some white liquid dripping out of your mouth, btw. Rigo beats 11 nobodies, almost loses to one of them, gets rocked twice by another and that makes him a demi god, who'll beat a proven elite fighter while eating a sandwich. Gimme a break
He would haveto go up in weight a little bit. He has a good chin but it's exactly the opposite as with power when someone ko's someone at a lower weight it's more impressive but not getting ko'd is of course less impressive and just because of that James Toney is even though is is old and shot still on a whole other level
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHKZ4W-Qw-s This fight was 8 years ago , this is the closest you can get to rattle Donaire Aside from his above average chin,he seems to have good recuperative ability
Thanks for the video. This is for everybody that say Donaire only has a left hook. His straight right KO'ed Jose Luis Cardenas in round 2.
