Fight Review: Donaire v Rigondaux
It was a battle of two champions, two great fighters last Saturday night at The Radio Music Hall in NYC. Nonito Donaire took on Guillermo Rigondaux in a champion versu champion fight. From the get go, Donaire seemed to be puzzled by Rigondaux's elusiveness and speed. Guillermo used the "stick and move" technique to perfection throughout the fight. Instead of staying in their and mixing it up with the bigger Donaire, Guillermo decided to outbox Nonito, and out box him he did. Nonito really never got off or get nothing going against Rigondaux. The crowd booed throughout the fight, not appreciating the precision of Rigondaux, as they expected more out of this fight. Despite a showing of life when Donaire landed a left hook on Rigondaux knocking him down to the canvas, Nonito was simply outboxed and out scored. Scores were 114-113, 115-112, 116-111. Rigondaux is now a Unified World Champion.
