    He took a flush left hook from one of the p4p hardest punchers in the sport and got right back up like nothing happened.., finished the round with his hands at his waist...

    I'll give him credit for the win, but im calling it now -it's the last thing worth of note that he's going to accomplish in his career. it's a miracle that he was able to survive against Donaire with a chin like his. He's going to get badly KO'd sooner or later and his career will go south from there.

    Bull****. Donaire never landed any of his punches flush. In fact he was discouraged from even throwing his hardest shots after the first few rounds. A credit to Rigo's boxing skills. Doesn't excuse him being wobbled bad in the fight before.

    There's no miracle involve when having that kind of talent, however surviving the last round was a miracle of course nonitos was running backwards the whole round, and sooner or later they all get koed if they hang long enough, only one comes to mind, a guy with over 140 fights, World Champion, went 30 rounds toe to toe with SRR, fought everyone in his division and was never knockdown or KO, he was Cuban RIP Gavilan...

    Whether he's packing China or not, people can't knock out what they can't hit. His defense is just too good, along with his speed. He also has decent power. Just ask Donaire's face at the end of their fight . . .

    Anyhow, I'll just be glad to see him fight again. His style was anything BUT boring. He is the penultimate example of 'the sweet science.'

    "It's a miracle he survived", donaire yes his face was busted lol,the cuban put a boxing clinic on his young pupil.Rigo's chin is as good as solid he proved that vs p4p nonita who had a 15-20lb advantage, yes even at 140lb & rigo 122 on fight night his power was useless against the vastly superior technician.

    Nonito is the only guy that has not gone down against Rigondeaux... so yes, should b decent power at least...
