Would You Pick RIGONDEAUX Over DONAIRE (?)

I wouldn't necessarily go that far. But he does have wins over PFP fighters and, by KO.

And he has great versatility. He's not a one dimensional fighter.

Although, like Martinez and Pacquaio, he's getting to the point where fighters will force him to be offensive because they are afraid of his power.

Obviously, his style would be best utilized if guys think they can walk through him.

Rigo will fight defensively, but Donaire has shown that he has the ability to pursue and his opponents.

Rigo is also smaller than Donaire I believe. This will make it easier for Donaire to fight aggressively against a guy that will try not to engage.

 

LOL ,thread its backfiring at this newbie...
polls dont go as expected, it was suppose to fuel an anticuban debate, but happens that some ppl here knows their **** about boxing.
i still believe is a good match Rigo vs Donaire, i favor Rigo but 50-50 makes sense

 

Donaire has to be able to land those shots on Rigo. Donaire is very fast and talented, but if he's loading up every shot and trying to one punch KO Rigo, Rigo is going to see it coming.
Rigondeaux has over 300 fights over experience. When Donaire sits down and throws everything he has behind that left hook, Rigo is going to see it coming before it even swings through the air

 

But also, look at their resumes. One guy is taking the path of least resistance while the other guy is fighting champions and PFP fighters.

You could make an argument that Rigo is not ready because of the limited number of fights, but he's already 30 and he has a Gold medal.

At some point he needs to step it up.

Then again, fighting the best can take a toll on you.

 

Nonito Donaire, anytime.

Let Rigo fight someone just close to world level and we can talk.

 

At this point I will take Rigo in a close match...

 

at 10 fights he has beaten 2 world champs,1 european champ and experienced fighters like Beranza who for first time quit in his corner.
Oh, is your ass anticuban? dont worry,cubans are not interested in your tender ass.

 

Rigo wasn't on ***** street either time.

The first time, Marroquin stepped on his foot and landed a left hook as Rigo pulled back. Throwing him off balance for a bit. He felt the punch, but wasn't in serious trouble.

The 2nd punch was when Rigo was showboating near the ropes and pulled back with his hands down, once again off balance.

and Marroquin was searching all night.

 

Credit for trying I guess but still ****.

 

just look at their resumes at 122...
WV2, who got beat and KO by old Arce...SD
Mathebula, who doesnt have a clue how to move around the ring- outboxed
Vic,Montiel were little guys at 115...we are talking SBW here.
grow up Newbie

 

Yes. Glassmo has grade A porcelain up there and Donaire will crack it. Bet the house, been saying this since the Cordoba bout :smoke

 

still, everytime someone asks Noni about "Glassmo" he gets diarrhea...:yep
