this was only nonito 2nd fight at 122, either he having trouble making weight or maybe top rank trying to set him up with juanma or salido. that move to 126 dont make sense.

rigo aint your ordinary 10 fight guy, 2 time olympic gold medalist, possibly the best amateur ever and a wicked southpaw that can crack.

Oh I know about Rigo, though there has been speculation of his am record, the commentators at HBO believed the 374-12 one was likely to be pretty accurate. Either way like you said one of the best amateurs fighters of all time. Despite this, with 10 PRO fights, it still looks funny the way he's being ducked.

I got rigo whooping donaire ass.

 

[mr. smoke weed]

donaires defense aint whats hot in the street, dude gets hit way too much

 

[SuikodenII]

Donaire's days are numbered.......

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

i completely missed the donaire fight but read about him bringing out Dan Inosanto (bruce lee's homie and colleague)..btw how did the fight pan out?

scores aside cuz they were wide as fukk.....it was a close fight...donaire was damn near throwing homerun type shots in every round..he nearly ended things in the 4th or 5th round with a mean left hand but after that dude was outboxing him (and lumped up his face) until the 11th where donaire managed to crack dude's tooth and mathebula went into retreat for the rest of the fight..good fight and all but donaire needs a style tweak very soon..from what i saw if he face rigo..rigo would have taken apart (that is if rigo could take donaire's power)

 

[Black_Jesus]

Very close fight even with the KD

Couldn't watch the fight.

So the Nonito hype off of being Filipino like Manny is done?

 

[BlackBalled]

Haven't seen this before, HBO following Broner leading up to his fight with Eloy Perez. Broner fighting again in around 2 weeks, against Escobedo.

 

[yoyoyo1]

didn't even bother watching the boxing, two -1000's on HBO, ridiculous

nah the nonito hype is still their and will still be their because he's fast and strong (like manny) thing is he's headed for a loss b/c he has no defense (like manny)
also, Nonito seems to still be gassed up off the montiel knockout b/c he does things w his hand and foot speed to try and humiliate his opponent that he is not physically gifted enough to get away with

no lampley and the donaire fight was good, despite the scores his opponent was fighting good and took several rounds from donaire
since the manny timmeh fight ledermans scoring has seemed more suspect to me

 

[ChocolateGiddyUp]

They sayin Donaire vs Arce is next

 

[Beastmode]

They sayin Donaire vs Arce is next

he need to fight Rigo or Mares...either one

 

[BlackBalled]

he need to fight Rigo or Mares...either one

Agreed, Rigo won't happen though, so I can only hope for Mares.

Boxingscene stated that Mayorga won't be Alvarez's next opponent, but other sources are saying that it will most likely be him. Hope boxingscene is right

Still Martinez - Chavez fight is shytting on the Canelo bout
