I love some inside info and am stoked for this fight. Now I'm off to read your breakdown. Good stuff so far.
I know which interview you are talking about, I've seen that. Later on he did mention that he sparred Manny. I'll try to find the interview, its an old one.
I think Rigo is the better gifted Boxer and tactician. I think Donaire is the far better fighter. The fact is that Rigo has a suspect chin, possibly suspect defense, low output, and no jab. Regardless of his pedigree, Rigo looks to end fights with that big left far too much. Donaire's chin is solid. Donaire has enough attributes (speed, timing, accuracy) to make Rigo take notice. More importantly, Donaire trusts his chin enough to punch with guys. If Donaire can pick up on the left hand? Game over. In this fight I think Donaire is going to take the risks, punch hard, and spark or come close enough to sparking Rigo that it will force Rigo into "sport" mode. Once Rigo starts second guessing himself? Rigo won't engage or will do so reluctantly. I see this fight as a flashy show until Rigo gets touched. If Rigo isn't sparked? Rigo will do the Cuban shuffle while Donaire stalks him for the win.
It's going to be a great fight because of the $300,000 KO prop, this means both fighters are going to be aggressive.
Either way this fight is huge, no matter what happens you'll be thinking "Oh ****". Can't wait for it.
Bald head slick omg weak structured. No counter arguments .what the hell are you talking about your babbling crap. When the fight is finished I am going to break bread and teach the basics with you son. Remembered what you said words are marked and etched in stone for the generation to witness . lol
I'm happy Rigondeaux is ready and in top shape. I want both fighters to come in at their best to provide us fans the best possible boxing match.
