    He didn't have to and he damned near put out Donaire's eye in the 12th. WTF?

    He swept the second half 4-2. Hell the round he got knocked down in he "won" that too 10-9.

    He really did fight much better and landed the better punches. Rigo won fair and square.

    thats your opinion that he won the 10th by that number, I think everybody scored that 10-8 he didnt do enough IMO to win that round or make it 10-9 in favor of Donaire.

    I gave Donaire 7,8 and 10 in the 2nd half gave him round 5 in the first half the first two rounds well I have seen people on this forum who gave Donaire the 2nd round some even the third

    So when you have Rigo supporters all over the map regarding the rounds they gave nonito that sort of explains why and how someone would have a close fight.

    Rigo definitely has a marketable attitude. It would definitely be a lus for him if he learned enough English to talk ****.

    7, 8,10? Seven was Donaire's. 8 was close, but for every shot Donaire landed he ate a pretty crisp one... but OK. Round ten was obviously Donaire's, but that STILL puts it at an even split for the second half with Rigo putting on a DOMINANT final round. Rigo didn't even seem out of sorts in the round Donaire knocked him down.

    The only round I see giving to Donaire in the first half is the fourth.

    That means that he dominated the first half and closed extremely strong. It is like you are just saying things to say them. Rigo was crisp the whole fight. Donaire didn't look winded either, but he just wasn't effective. I am a Donaire fan and fully expected him to not only win, but stop Rigo. The fact is though that Rigo Boxed Donaire's socks off.

    I gave Donaire rounds. 3/12 for the champion is not a good look though.

    I am saying your assertion is COMPLETELY unjustified. At no time in the fight's first or second half did Rigo not look sharp. Period.

    6 Round fighters don't finish that strong in the 12th round, and normally don't finish the fight at all, if you know what I mean.

    Donaire made it easy for Rigo to cruise in the middle rounds, by not cutting the ring off and allowing Rigo to move. Many people are saying Rigo ran, which is ridiculous, what I saw was a fighter using his legs to create angles while taking away his opponents legs, and walking Donaire into straight lefts and right hooks.

    It was a beautiful exhibition of boxing and even Donaire admitted this much. And furthermore, name me one 6 round fighter (other than Rigo in your opinion) who goes the distance with Donaire?

    @Bazooka

    Ok, so what was Donaire doing when Rigo was cruising? In my opinion he followed Rigo around without doing absolutely nothing, it was almost as if he was gun shy, for some strange reason Donaire was not punching. Both fighters said it in their post fight interviews, Rigo: "I made him look they way he did". Donaire: " I want to thank Rigo for his beautiful display of boxing". Donaire all but admitted he received a boxing lesson.
