I completely agree, you could see when Donaire actually landed a punch Rigo would come straight back and hit him twice. Even in the last round once he had Donaire hurt he was all over him. You can just tell he has something else there in the tank if he ever needs to go there but I don't think he will need to that often if he's just done that to Donaire.
I think in terms of skill he could very well be number 1 (i know i may get **** for putting him over mayweather and ward), but cant rate him too high. Only 12th fight, has a long way to go, maybe 5. I think styles make fights and nonito had the wrong style for Rigondeaux. Needed to let his combinations go.
Very much agreed. I guess you still have to have some kind of concern about his chin, but Donaire's a big hitter who landed flush every once in a while and Rigondeaux never seemed all that bothered. Took the shots perfectly fine. Everything else is proven to be absolute top class: all-around skill is absurd, extremely quick, carries serious power in both hands, etc.
top 5, I was rooting for donaire but rigo proved himself tonight. May the slicker man win and he did just that.
P4P is BS. Donaire was top 3 yet he gets outclassed and Rigo barely breaks top 10? I get it you have to have a bunch of nuthugger fans to be up there.
1.Mayweather 2.Ward 3.Rigondeaux P4P I say is skill and resume, the main thing about tonights fight was Rigo's chin, his chin held up everything else was flawless the guy is a genius, forget that he has only one decent win the guy showed p4p he has the skills to match anyone in boxing, style wise Donaire was the hardest fight for him, tell me how Mares beats him after he took a decent Donaire punch, Rigo will not lose a boxing match
