    I've said it before and said it again. I don't rate Robert Garcia. I think he doesn't know what to do with Rigo and Donaire underestimated this guy bigtime like many fans.

    I think Billy Nelson was right. Rigo is the better boxer.

    Rigo has such superior footwork Donaire cannot find the space to throw a punch.

    Donaire has folded sort of like Chavez jr vs Martinez. He's going to have to start headhunting NOW

    allthough this fight is pretty boring in terms of action you are still buzzing because its 2 of the best and Rigo is a marvel

    This is borderline schooling. Rigo just sitting off really schooling him. I'd like to see him throw a few more shots and push it.

    Now surely Donaire will have to throw caution to the wind and go for the KO as Rigos truly in cruise control in there.

    I'm surprised with Rigo. I've been a fan of his for years but whilst I've always rated him very highly, I didn't think he'd be able to do this to an excellent fighter in Donaire.

    Donaire has got to go for it. Risk getting hit with those counters but apply steady pressure and go for the knockout. If he doesn't, he'll timidly lose a wide UD.

    Rigondeaux putting on a masterclass really. Donaire's work rate has been cut by 80%.
