DONAIRE vs. RIGONDEAUX - FINAL PICKS

Wow, Gondo looking good, and sharp. Clear Gondo round.

 

Ahhh my....I have heard the expression high speed chess.....but never really seen it till now......they are not throwing a ton of punches..but one mistake CHECKMATE!!

 

Close but I give to Rigo

 

::

 

Brilliant round from Rigo there... Really love what he is doing with his right hand... seamlessly alternating between a jab and a hook...

10-9 Rigo

 

Second round to Donaire, Gondo too negative.

 

Gondo 2 rounds to zero. Donaire looks like he's trying to land a big bomb and needs to settle down a bit.

 

close, but I still feel Rigo is getting Donaire to do what he want him to do... close round, but Rigo, for me

20-18 Rigo

 

ILLU where's the dam RBR

 

Please....I took a shit during round 2.....

 

Donaire looking a bit like a big goofy Chavez Jr...he's not sure what to do...

 

Gondo's defense is better than I thought, even a sharpshooter like Donaire is finding him very hard to hit.

2 to 1 Gondo.

 

Rigo's schooling donaire right now.

 

3rd round tough to score. So far it's like two cobras fighting. One is more relaxed but the other has more venom.

 

Great round for Rigo... Donaire got in a couple of good shots, but he was hit more often and made to miss repeatedly... it is a beautiful display by Rigo

30-27 Rigo

 

Donaire looking for one pretty KO' punch...not going to work...combos bitch...

 

Damn Donaire did look a bit shaky there after eating that uppercut....

 

Yup...Donaire is looking for one shot...and doesn't want to be there..he landed the left and he got all loca and while..and got caught with punches...don't get careless puta...

 

Donaire just can't land cleanly. Should be working the body a bit more to set things up. Could be 4-0 Rigo.

 

Good ending! Close round. Might be Donaire's first round.

 

Rigo again... close, but he's getting the best of it

40-36 Rigo

Donaire needs to figure out a plan B because he can't match this guy's reflexes right now

 

Donaire just looking sloppy like he did against Narvaez and Vazquez.

Maybe that's just what happens when he's forced to lead more, as Hut alluded to.

 

And here I was expecting a wald pussy-ibragimov

 

Good exchange at the end. Rigondeaux showed heart after getting stung.

 

Yep, plus Gondo just seems 1 move ahead at all times. Hard to see Donaire winning this right now unless Gondo gets careless.

 

yeah COME on...Max...come on...

 

Donaire pretty much getting schooled, Gondo getting more confident.

I underestimated Gondo big style, thought he was too small and chinny. Brilliant little boxer, so neat and efficient.

 

That was a pretty negative round from Rigo but Donaire didn't accomplish much either... I'm still inclined to give it to Rigo, but I could see someone giving Donaire the benefit of aggression

50-45 Rigo

 

Donaire is just following Rigondeaux around. He needs to throw some combos but the counters have thrown off his timing.

 

Rigon DOESN'T stay HIT..if Donaire lands something hard...he immediately retaliates.
