    It was sooooo obvious after the first two rounds. He wasn't as fast as he was if you compare to the Donaire last year. Don't tell me about that Rigo is fast as **** ****. Donaire isn't even popping his jab. That's what distraction (upcoming baby) and shoulder injury does to you. All you Rigo fans better not over-estimate his win. They'll meet again at 126 and he will be fighting a distraction and injury-free Donaire :hi::hi::hi:

    That was the same Donaire we've seen in every other fight. The same Donaire who has a front-foot ineptitude, lacks offensive creativity when coming forward, who has trouble creating openings for himself, and who, for all of his athletic prowess, isn't terribly difficult to find with shots up the middle thanks to a lack of head movement and not-so-great defensive skills. He was just schooled by a more athletic fighter with a good deal more ring craft and ring generalship.

    Donaire's a great fighter, but I'm not so sure how well he'll fare at 126. I don't think he'll carry the same power or physical advantages he enjoyed from 112 to 118/122.

    The "pregnant wife" excuse. Please. If he'd won, it could be said that his pregnant wife was the inspiration. He "won it for his unborn child". Donaire's spirit was sapped after five rounds, when it sunk in that he wouldn't be able to do **** against Rigo.

    He struggles against boxers and fighters who move back.

    His footwork and head movement moving forward is not amazing.

    Im not surprised he got beat that bad, and nobody should create excuses for him.

    Tell me how many times Rigo took Donaires jab away from him last night?...Is probably a better question.
