“Donaire Vs Rigondeaux”

               Before the Donaire vs Rigondeaux fight, the three undercard bout was very exciting in which all 3 bouts ended via KO/TKO in the first round.

I was so excited because it gave me good vibes that the main event would be as exciting and might even exceed the thrill that the boxers showed before the main event.

                Coming into the fight, Rigondeaux had a record of 11 fights: 11 wins: 8KO: 0 Lose while Donaire was unbeaten for more than a decade and was just named boxer of the year of 2012. With that being said, it made the fight very intriguing to watch most especially because of the record that both fighters had.  

                As the fight began, I was so excited to watch these two athletes box. But I was shocked to see how Donaire fought this one. He was just aiming for head shots and powerful swings. His moves are easily read by the Cuban boxer. While Rigondeaux used his footwork to circle around the ring and duck most of “The Filipino Flash’s” punches. Overall, the match was not what the majority of the people were looking for in a boxing fight. But, Rigondeaux really boxed very intelligently, he was able to hit and not get hit. As a result, the Cuban fighter successfully defended his WBA title and won the WBO super bantamweight belt.
