Nonito Donaire suffered his first loss since 2001 as he was defeated by amateur sensation and now unified champion Guillermo Rigondeaux last Saturday night at Radio City Music Hall in New York. Surprisingly after the fight, Donaire said he felt he had done enough to win the fight or at the very least earned a draw which wasn’t well received by fight fans who felt Donaire had clearly lost.
Donaire was on the recent episode of BoxingScene Radio and he was asked now that a couple days had passed and he had got a chance to watch the fight, if he still felt he did enough to win.
"I don't think that I did enough to take the fight from him. I did do enough to entertain the people but again, when you're in there it's a different story because you push and you push and you try to make the fight happen and I felt I wasn't really getting tagged with a lot of things. But looking at it now, it’s a different story. It's a different story than what you see in there because the guy is moving and he's tagging you and of course he's getting those points. But when you're in there it seems like it’s [just] a jab and you're just trying to keep forward and press forward. And that's how I felt getting out of the ring, that I deserved enough but you know, looking back now, it wasn't enough” admitted Donaire. [Click Here To Read More]
