Was Donaire over hyped or just got beat by an A-class fighter?

I think it's a bad style match up, Nonito played a technical game against a superior counter puncher and a true technician, I think he had the wrong gameplan. He should have been more aggressive, although I understand why he didn't because Rigo's straight left was just scary, if Donaire got careless (like he did when his eye got hit on the 12th) we could have been really hurt but after this fight I feel it's his only way of winning against Rigo.

All credit to Rigo, he really showed he's a true elite fighter in this one but no way is Nonito overrated by any reliable source (i.e. if you disregard the nuthuggers), Nonito is up there as well in talent and ability.

 

Donaire has been beating everybody in the style he's been fighting in and he had no clue of how to adjust. He never had to and his corner was just as lost as him.Here's another thing, Rigo has a long left hand like Pac. Fighters underestimate it's striking distance and it surprises them all the time.:bbb

 

Good quotes.
Lets not forget that it was also a close fight. 2 very talented fighters

 

I was surprised at Donaire's total lack of a plan B. When it became clear Rigondeaux was able to outbox him, he was unable to fall back on an alternate route of action.

This was actually already evident against Narvaez, when Nonito found out Omar had no plans of taking unnecessary risks, there was no other plan for him.

Too bad for Donaire, Rigondeaux had the superior skillset and speed to not just win but dominate.

 

Beaten by a better boxer.

 

One loss to a great boxer and suddenly you are 'overrated'

 

Donaire is a great fighter. He just lost to an even more superior boxer.

 

It was a close fight if you were a biased nut hugger

 

No he was overrated before the loss I really think people go for personalities more than skills when rating fighters.

 

People saying Donaire was pure hype now are as stupid as the fanboys who thought he was unbeatable. His resume is no joke.

 

Look dude is good very good at that but he is in no way this monster people are claiming and if he rematches The Jackal he may get stopped .

 

Donaire has more than proven himself. He was just defeated by a great, great fighter.

 

I scored the fight 115-112 for Rigo.Donaire a quality fighter-Rigo is just a master boxer.

 

He dismissed Rigo for so long because he knew he wasn't good enough. Anybody who knows box knows he was overrated. . His opponents were either undersized or had been coming out of or into retirement...He would of been in a world of hurt had he not had stopping power.
He said he wants to finnish at welter..
He'd be finnished off at welter.

 

Bingo and enough of this lets get to Trout vs Canelo.
