It's a boxers physique. Huge muscles and being cut up hurts a fighter.
 
Plus, some fighters have naturally softer builds.

I really hope they get the scoring right tonight. Aside from the flash knockdown, Rigondeaux has toyed with Nonito. Guillermo UD 118-109.

You can win a fight and still lose stock.
Boxing purist will love him but everyone else will put him in the same camp as Devon Alexander, hard to hit but as exciting as watching paint dry.

Yep, very unfortunate for Donaire....
 
I had it 115-112 or 116-111. I had a tough time deciding the 3rd round. Also thought the 7 & 8th were close.

Either way, Rigo had a great game plan.

Donaire should've smothered him. He was looking for one shot the entire night.

Do not compare Rigondeaux to Alexander in any way,shape, or form. That is an insult.

Yep that shouldve been his plan, but I suspect that Rigondeaux has more power than most people think.
 
Eh. I should bet boxing more often. I had the KO. Nonito is making a lot of excuses.
 
always good to see a cuban ball out....my fam was geeked to see

rigondeaux win it , everyone was cracking jokes on me cause i thought

nonito was gonna walk through him

nonito looked sluggish , i had it 8-4 and scored the last round 10-8 , the accuracy

just wasn't there...he had to of trained because his stamina seemed relatively in tact

just dont think he a good technical camp
 
Wow, so the biggest fight he has, he doesn't take serious. That's what you get :{

He had the wrong gameplan throughout. He ate some punches early, and got scared.

In the 10th, he showed what he could do when he got inside. But he was still phased by Rigo's power.

Thing is, as much power as Rigondeaux has, Donaire has it too, and it just wasn't on display. It was evident that Donaire probably could've beat up on Rigondeaux if he forced him into a scrum, a fight in close.

Then again, I can't remember the last time Donaire won a fight like that.
 
Thank God we have Trout/Alvarez next week.

Can't wait for Trout to put on a show. :hat
 
BTW, Jay should be a trainer. Because he's been calling this **** for YEARS.

It's sad bc I had really High Hopes for him after the Vic KO

Flash is a one dimensional, one handed fighter who only head hunts.

Its sad. this was no upset. he has fought this same fight for going on 5-6 years.

Nonito to 126? really... to face Solis? Mares? JuanMa? ... Those are All Loses. Yup even JuanMa

when ahve you seen Nonito fight anyway other than how he fought tonite?

he has no plan B. he is a shallow fighter who has relied solely on his athleticism

he Loses this fight 10 outta 10 times
 
Is it too much to ask Donaire to throw a jab? Jesus. He's going in there trying to finish the fight with one punch. That's not gonna happen especially with a extraordinary boxer like Rigondeaux. Much respect to Rigondeaux. He made Donaire look like a C level fighter. He put on a clinic in the ring. I know a lot of people are gonna say Rigondeaux is boring but you have got to respect his craft. The guy is a phenomenal boxer.
