Agreed. I loved every second of that fight as it was a truly great athlete putting on a special performance against a supposed P4P top 5 opponent. He made Donaire look clueless and some of the moves he was pulling off was simply amazing...he kind of reminded me of some great martial artist like Bruce Lee as he pratically glided around the ring. If people were bored watching that or booed in the crowd they have no soul and would never be able to appreciate great art in any context even though i would agree with a few comments like Rigo probably lacks a bit of a killer edge as he could have stopped Donaire if he really went for it but i guess he didn't need to take any risks as he was winning easy. The fact that 33% of Americans viewers watching the fight on HBO had Donaire winning is a sad reflection on our idiot culture and probably alot of Filipino people watching anothrr of their guys go down and voted for him. Anyway great fight.
Apart from the terrible commentary that fight was actually decent Who would ever thought Rigo survives a knockdown and trades with Donaire at times, I was shitting myself because Rigo was leaving himself wide open at times but the guy is something else, anyone who watches him and says he's boring etc isn't a true boxing fan, some of the moves he does is just mad I loved when he jabbed Donaire then just rolled under Donaire's reply jab, he did I think twice in the same round and just made Donaire look so average Props to boxnation for getting this fight
The commentator is terrible He gave round 5 to Donaire on ring generalship when Donaire landed 1 jab the whole round and just followed Rigo Wtf Gave Donaire the first 4 out of 5 lmao
Wasn't able to stay up for this one. By all accounts then it sounds like the scoring echoed Ward-Froch. Right winner but some scarily close scoring by a couple of judges.
33 was the percentage when they started that vote, came down to about 18% i think not a classic fight bt one i really enjoyed, rigo proved his class
Terrible scoring, the closest you could have it is 9-3 and thats being VERY biased, it was 10-2 or 11-1
Haven't seen it yet but Rigo is the man, I shouldn't have had any doubt! Edit: Rolling in the V-Cash now:good
