The 12th rd is where Rigo really demolished Nonito. DUde came in looking for a KO and got torn apart easily. Rigo punching Nonito's wrists is smart and clasic. Too bad TR and GB are beefing. The fights he could have gotten :whew:

Real Sports:

Tyson looked pissed when dude asked him if he was a Thesbian, then told him it had nothing to do with his sexual orientation. :pachaha: he tried to play Mike.

if you watch the episode, Mike went on to son that racist fukk Bernie Goldberg. Mike explained where the word Thespian came from.

Fistful of jewels
:ufdup:

being healthy and fighting are two different things...reading is fundamental.

when Floyd left 130 he was like 23. when BHop left 160 he was like 40. see the difference???

Floyd has muscled and saturated into a higher weight, of course he wouldnt be peak fighting at 130. :wtf: :udontknow:

Donaire is not the same, he clearly is a blown up fighter who can still make 122 and 118 even.....just dont have the desire, discipline, or motivation (big money fight) to do it.

how many times have yall seen fighters say they ABSOLUTELY cant make a weight anymore, only to go back to that weight when then they get a big purse offer and they start yaupping about how they were just eating wrong and now they feel great that they hired a nutritionist, and yadda yah??
Look at Anthony Mundine. Won most of his titles at 168, then towards the end of his career won titles at 154 THEN 160. :takedat:

come back tomorrow for more class...

According to you, its about eating habits. Age doesn't matter. Try again

I had a great time at radio city and I hope they do more fights there...My view wasn't that bad (about 11 rows from the stage)...The undercard was quite good and the main event was a classic chess match...

Props to whoever it was that called this fight on here...Dude was saying for months Rigo was going to take Nonito to school and he did just that...Some people told me it was a tough fight to score but I didn't see it that way, I had it 8 rounds to 4 for Rigo but I want to re-watch it from the TV angle...

Nonito was just standing in front of Rigo all night loading up his left, no jab no faints and just not letting his hands go which made him an easy target for Rigo to pick off...He landed a couple good right hands here and there but was mostly touching air the few times he did let his hands go...Rigo on the other hand was dancing around effortlessly and snapping Nonito's head back every time he threw that dagger left...This was a thorough ass whooping from my seat...

Props to El Chacal...:salute:

Nonito was not setting anything up. He bought into the fact that ppl say Rigo has a weak chin, but he forgot that Rigo won 2 gold medals and his defense is right next to Floyd's. :youngsabo:


The way he was catching Nonito and potshotting him was classic. Dude was toying with Donaire since rd 3

Just watched Amir Imam put Jeremy Bryan to sleep. That boy put his hands down and paid for it. :heh:



I recorded FNF, some shobox from Friday and the Riggy/Donaire fight. Had some festivities to attend this weekend. Playing catchup right now.

Hold up dude trained over the phone?

yep :pachaha: he admitted that most of the strategy was done over the phone as Garcia was busy with Alvarado. so he probably had some laxed assistant doing his conditioning and probably very little or low quality sparring. Garcia was in his corner but spent very little time in camp if any.

see, this is why I say Nonito was overrated a lil bit. he has trememdous physical tools but apparently, he is not as good a boxer as we may have thought. its just that when he was fighting against guys who were not as good of boxer as he, he looked like a boxing master. he came into this fight looking for one punch, not looking to box or stay busy.

his performance was disappointing to say the least. no P4P fighter gets virtually shut out. Shane Mosely is the same type of fighter....just an elite athlete in his prime who was a good boxer but not a great one. when your athleticism starts to decline or you meet up with someone who has similar reflexes, then you are resorted to looking for one punch and you dont have the skills to set up the one punch.

sn: :deadrose: @ shane trying to KO FMJ with one punch
