By Chris Williams: Nonito Donaire’s promoter Bob Arum was in fine form last night after Donaire’s 12 round unanimous decision loss to WBA super bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux (12-0, 8 KO’s) in New York. Arum explained away Donaire’s loss in part, saying that he had problems making weight for the fight.
If Arum believes Donaire lost to Rigondeaux due to him having problems making weight then he can always put his theory to a test by putting them back together in the next division at featherweight and see if it was the weight that caused Donaire to get schooled. Don’t hold your breath waiting for Arum to do that because I guarantee you he’s not going to make that fight.
