Review: 2013-04-13, even though there was one knockdown the fight between Nonito Donaire and Guillermo Rigondeaux was very disappointing with both boxers throwing an average of 28 punches and landing less than 10 punches per round: poor fight, it gets two stars. Nonito Donaire (31-1-0, 20 KOs) entered as the No.1 super bantamweight in the world while the undefeated Guillermo Rigondeaux (11-0-0, 8 KOs) entered as the No.3; Donaire’s only loss came in 2001 at his second professional fight. Donaire vs Rigondeaux is valid for the WBO and WBA super bantamweight titles. Watch the video!

What I Saw is just a RUNNING RIGO! He better go back to amateur as he’s always running.
As this guy just said to you, stop being st*pid, Nonito was all swelled and Rigo was unhurt AT ALL even with that flash KD.
Deal with it.
agree….another g*y weather…..

jesus f*ck!! Rigondeax is tha sh*t!! He took nonito back to school
What I Saw is just a RUNNING RIGO! He better go back to amateur as he’s always running.
don’t be stupid, you don’t know what is to fight, look on donito’s face.
As this guy just said to you, stop being st*pid, Nonito was all swelled and Rigo was unhurt AT ALL even with that flash KD.
Deal with it.
if you ever practice any combat sport you’ll realize that boxing is the art of hit and not get hit, but because you dont know sh*t about boxing you are justifying el Chacal victory id rather b smart and than stupid !
if rigo lose you will say he was winning and then he lost cuz he start attacking, thats the reason nonito lost cuz he started worrying about what the people will say if he dont win
Poor fight? for the boxing lovers and purists of the sport, Rigondeaux performance was superb, speed, power AMAZING defense, just outclassed Nonito,for all the people that thinks Rigo is a boring fighter, please this is not a Rios/Alvarado fight, this is a technician fight which only the best boxing fans appreciate.
what the hell do u mean the best boxing fans? any boxing fan can appreciate a technical boxer like the rigo, mayweather, or any other boxer who has good defense, counterpuching, fast, technical and smart but any average person who is watching rigo fight for the first time will probably stop an change the channel. Boxing especially in this era needs boxers like Alvarado and rios. That’s why ufc has grown so much because its all action. I get what your trying to say about boxing lovers and purists but you have to be a huge boxing fan to watch rigo and other boxers like him. On the other hand people who are new to boxing want to see all out wars.
^^^^^ HATERS CLUB lolol always said Donaire was overrated, he LOST deal with it. Nonito’s face after didnt look like Rigondeaux ran all fight lol
nonito was never over rated the only thing that happen is that rigo was just better. that’s like me saying pac man isn’t sh*t cuz marquez knocked him out.
All you guys below are in the HATERS CLUB lolol always said Donaire was overrated, he LOST deal with it. Nonito’s face after didnt look like Rigondeaux ran all fight lol
agree….another g*y weather…..
This is boxing at its finest, in a way it can’t get any better than this. OK there is not emotion nor drama but because Rigondeaux is such an extraordinary boxer that he does what he wants inside the ring and makes a real champ as Donaire look like a mediocre priizefighter which he isn’t. If you want blood watch the f*cking MMA sh*t because this a very different staff this is the sweet science. Long life to it ;-)
verdaderamente es una pena para teve azteca de que tengan a julio seszar chaves que fue uno de los grandes boxeadores de este ciglo y que deve estar ciego o es que los golpe recividos en su carrea no lo dejan ver bien pues solo abla pendejadas y que decir de los locutores supuestamente profecionales una cosa es que ablen pendejadas y otro es que odien a los cubanos pues o son muy fanaticos a el filipino que en su istoria boxistica miren a quien se enfreto en el poco tiempo de la carrera de rigondiao solo por decirlo de esta manera se enfrento al maestrico y le gano nonito a quien le gano de envergadura a nadie su escalada a la fama le fue muy facil quiero ver una rebancha para que retire a nonito pues demostro que es uno mas para terminar julio sezar chaves estas ciego y ablas mierda hasta por gustocomo boxeador fuistes un personaje pero como locutor eres de lo peor que e escuchado en mi vida gracias
COMO SERAS PEND*JO….JULIO Y LOS COMENTADORES DE TV AZTECA SUBIERON EL BOXEO DE RIGO EN UN PEDESTAL!!
que es tu punto que chavez no sabe nada de box y la gente de tv Azteca tampoco. major escribe de lo que paso en la pelea aver si eres capaz de explicarlo major que el pend*jo de chavez o eres igual o mas pend*jo que la gente de tv Azteca.
Everyone should realize those who say the fight was boring and Rigo was running are the people who wanted Donaire to win, they wanted Rigo to stand in front of Donaire so he could beat Rigo, it’s pathetic really.
Rigondeaux no se despeino pa ganar esta pelea es el mejor, lastima para ustedes narradores de pacotilla se quedaron con las ganas.
im a nonito fan…yup he lost. lol. great fight!! at least he didn’t go down like pac. poor pac. nonito should of use that uppercut.
If you don’t like this fight, you don’t like boxing, period. Rigondeuax is effing phenomenal.
seriosly man, who was the one who wrote the review of this vidand gave to the fight 2 star?? that guy know a sh*t about boxing, that fight was a chess match in boxing,amazing , exchanges with a level of speed for part of rigo insame, just great skills, excellente footwork, speed, accurate, i thought nonito was a “Flash”, rigo is beyond the spped of the light, u can hit the thing that u dont see, to much skill for the poor guy donaire.Excelente fight, a clasic,
This guy , rigo is like maywheather or ward but so superb, fly like butterflys and sting like a bee.
one more thing…Rigondeaux fought smart. A bigger, taller opponent in front of him, he made Donaire look slow as snails. Reminded me so much of Martinez vs. Chavez Jr throughout the whole fight, as the bigger man got tattooed throughout, until the little guy got dropped coming off a clinch. But the difference was, Guillermo got up composed, and finished 12 rounds with air to spare. Whereas Donaire better go up in weight, Rigondeaux has mastered his weight, and will be interesting to see Arum has in mind for his future. Boxing is back with this one!
nonito was aggressive throughout the fight but didn’t now how to fight rigo. chavez vs Martinez was different chavez didn’t let his hands go all intil the 12round. Martinez is a better boxer by miles but if chavez would of let his hands go in the 1st round i bet Martinez gets ko’d by the 5round.chavez proved in one round he can easly hurt Martinez.

The people of this web are brawl minded, this was an excelent combat.

dam everybody here is exaggerating how much they enjoy a good “boxing match”. the last time I checked these type of fights are never voted fight of the year. only fights that r won in a brawl are voted and that’s where boxing started with boxers that only new how to walk forward. joe frazier said once ” he’ holding to much, running away and he doesn’t want fight. that aint boxin.” he was talking about Floyd mayweather….. I like fights that shows a smart technical boxer vs a counterpuncher but i love a all action back and forth type of fight way more.

MEGA MADRINA LE DIERON AL JILIPINO
Everyone should realize those who say the fight was boring and Rigo was running are the people who wanted Donaire to win, they wanted Rigo to stand in front of Donaire so he could beat Rigo, it’s pathetic really.
So, how about Nonito being unable to hurt a ballerina?
Yes Rigo stayed away all the time but its Nonito work to catch him, and he failed misserabily… Rigo outclassed him.
Rigondeaux no se despeino pa ganar esta pelea es el mejor, lastima para ustedes narradores de pacotilla se quedaron con las ganas.

Since you don’t know what means boxing please don’t watch it anymore because you waste your time. Do something more profitable with it like may be watching UFC :-). Give me a break!!!!!
if donaire won the 11 and 12 maybe he could be win
You acting as a judge would be as bad as John Stewart the judge that scored just a point difference. GIVE ME A BREAK!!!! and learn about boxing
donaire perdio todos excepto el 10
if donaire won the 11 and 12 maybe he could be win

I agree with the below. This was a good fight in the sense that outstanding technique was displayed by both fighters, especially Rigondeaux. It’s a fight of real intensity, even though there’s no brawl.
this was a beautiful fight! real boxing fans appreciate a technical fight

NOBODY CAN BEAT BOTH RIGO & DONAIRE AT THIS WEIGHTCLASS.. RIGO OR DONAIRE WILL BEAT MARES EASY!

I just have the opportunity to watch the full fight yesterday and confirm that Guillermo was the dominating fighter. Again, and I am not surprised anymore, the judges involved did a terrible job. How this John Stewart can score just a point difference? This is outrageous, this judge in particular (totally useless) should be prevented in the future to act as a judge because he does not know what he is doing. It is like sitting a drank driver at the wheel of a car. With all these judges boxing is loosing credibility. Have you seen the Lederman’s score card, 118 to 109 in favor of Guillermo and this guy knows about boxing. Nonito is a good puncher but not a very technical boxer. He was not allowed to do his fight because got very worry after receiving 2 good punches from Guillermo who neutralized him during the full fight. Despite the fact that the fight looks like boring for people that do not know much about boxing (it was all about strategy) Guillermo did the right job since he is an excellent boxer and has the whole package ( technique, power and speed). Guillermo outclassed Nonito no doubts about that.
