I've never come across Rigondeaux before, but just from watching the highlights, it's clear that he is fast, both in his attacks and his reaction times. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6ZIqQwlFWk"]HBO Boxing: Donaire-Rigondeaux Highlights - YouTube[/ame] The feinting to draw a counterattack to a predictable location in order to set up your counter attack is a common kind of tactic, but he clearly pulls it off well because he's very very quick.
Although there is a lot of skill involved in the fight, I always find it hard to be interested when the fighters aren't taller then the ropes
I used to think like this too. But when the heavier weight classes started to have a drought of good fighters, I started shaving off the weight until I started to appreciate even the flyweight class. Middleweight is still my favorite class though.
