Would you rather watch Rignodeux fight or watch paint dry?

Well the people who like it aren't real fans, I,loved this and I'm surprised people found it boring, maybe people don't understand what Rigo was throwing.

 

It is funny you said that. That is my exact p4p list now.

1. Floyd
2. Andre
3. Sergio
4. Guillermo
5. Juan Manuel

I agree, sir. :good

 

1.Your not a real boxing fan.
2.It was a Pro Donaire crowd ,their fighter lost....of course the were booing.
3. Just as many writers praised Rigo for his performance. These are from the first google page that I searched.

The phrase "ring generalship" gets thrown around quite a bit in boxing circles, but perhaps no other active fighter defines the term so well. Rigondeaux is sensationally calm and collected in the pocket, and he's always at ease.
He completely dictated the terms of this fight in terms of its pacing and location, and which man was getting his shots off first. There are many ways to envision any fighter losing on any given day, but it was hard to imagine Donaire being so easily turned into a trudging plodder.

Those wondering whether or not Rigondeaux was worth the hype got plenty of evidence as to his true talent. This is a fighter Freddie Roach has gone on record labeling as one of the best he's ever seen.
The way Rigondeaux outclassed Donaire was a masterful display. This isn't a fighter who's looked great against weak opposition and then wilted against tougher fighters. Boxing has always been full of paper champions. Rigondeaux is not one of those boxers.

Rigondeaux (12-0, 8 KO) boxed beautifully in the early rounds, looking faster, sharper, more accurate, and simply better-prepared than Donaire (31-2, 20 KO). Nonito looked downright slow in comparison to Rigondeaux, which is not a knock on Donaire, who is a terrific fighter. Rigondeaux, in the post-fight words of his vanquished foe, simply used "beautiful boxing" to win this fight, and Donaire offered only a minor excuse, that he needs to get shoulder surgery.

:deal

If your nickname is The Flash shouldn't you be able to catch the older, less experienced guy in front of you?

I didn't see any running. I saw a lot of slick movements which made Donaire look like a dumb caveman thinking, "Hey! How am I supposed to eat you for dinner if you don't stand still and let me grab you?"

 

Donaire is not a good inside fighter which he could be with his left hook. He needs to be like Mike Tyson or Julio Cesar Chavez. These know how to cut the ring off very effectively.

 

HBO and their viewers would also rather watch paint dry hahaha

 

Love his skills but he seems difficult to market without an EXCITEMENT! vibe. Boxers have different angles on promotion but it seems Team Rigo is at a loss. So I believe with Tim Bradley. Just because I enjoy him technically dominant, doesn't mean I want to see twelve steady rounds of it. It begins to feel like you're watching someone get picked on from the sidelines.

 

yes. but what kind of paint are we talking about? and what color? :think(not a racist)

 

If Rigondeaux had Malinaggi face...his fights would have been prescribed by Gay MDs to overcome instinctive homophobia

 

I just wonder about your number 5.... how can i guy that got beat by Bradley be ranked higher than Bradley? :huh unless you think he was robbed in that fight/

 

Hes a great fighter. May not appeal to the casual boxing fan who only wants slugfests, but if you are a true fan you should appreciate his greatness. If youd rather watch paint dry I question your fandom for the sport.
