rigo has done little to nothing to prove himself in the last 2 years donaire has been fighting regularly and dominating.

I hope to see you here on Sunday after you wake up to a new super bat champ and p4p fighter in G. Rigondeux.

I think if Donaire wins...and he certainly can...it's because he might be able to draw Rigo in and "counter the counter". His kd of Harutyunyan was an example of that. But the TS does bring up a good point...while ND's defense isn't porous, he's not exactly unhittable, either. If he moves forward, he stands a good chance of getting tagged, and things might well be more interesting than anticipated when that happens.

If like to point out that your comment about ND defense is an understatement, Nonito gets hot ALOT. His defense is TERRIBLE for a fighter of his caliber. Rigo will connect alot easier than most think. Just look at his face in previous fights. He gets hit alot, but people are so dazzled with his speed they don't realize.

i added more venom to my post, i would love to say rigo suddenly turn into a great fighter but im not counting on it, see you there.

Rigo has a chance but in the end Donaire just has too much talent in the ring. It will be a close fight though.

Donaire can play defense, if so inclined. And he can counter effectively, too. Darchinyan was an example of both of those statements.

But by and large, his main attribute in terms of D is the fact that a lot of guys are fearful of getting tagged in return and don't commit to their own offense. Best D is a good O, as it were.

Rigo, on the other hand, has superior defensive skills and transitions much more smoothly from offense to defense. My only concern for Rigo is that his attack tends to revolve around the straight left and he'll have to at least show a right hook if he hopes to beat Donaire.

Be interesting to see how it all plays out. I, personally, don't view this as being a lock either way.

But Donaire does have victories over top ranked fighters... Who since Ramos (who was only ranked becuz he had a belt) has Rigo beaten? I'd love to see how he would do against Mathebula... Unfortunately, we have no way of knowing since he hasn't fought anyone that good yet

Donaire is too big for Rigondeaux. I just don't see Donaire losing this fight. I would love to see Rigondeaux win, but I just don't think that will be the case.
