    Donaire is overrated.

    Yesh, he is tough and can punch. Everything else he just a left hook puncher. A weight bully at that. Montiel and Darchinyan are his highlight wins. I would say they both B level at best.

    Casimero signed up with MP promotion is a different animal and has the team to take him to the next level. But we will see.

    Sorry but I saw that Mathalane fight and to me Donaire was lucky he cut his eye lid because Muroti was coming on and probably give Donaire 12 rounds of hell.

    Rigo tears his jaw off.

    Donaire right now is just a glorified punching bag who gets whacked around but has a left hook to bail out his azz. He has a good thump in that left hand that's about it. Casimero has more dynamics to his game.

    You saw Moruti beat up Casimero as well correct? Still, Donaire is the best win between the two, it is not even close. Donaire would of chinned Tete as well, no doubt in my mind.

    Sorry there are levels to boxing and Casimero has already shown in the past to lose to people far below Rigo. Indeed we shall see, I see no other outcome except Rigo winning it one way or another. I will gladly say I am wrong if he loses tomorrow as I am not really a big fan of Rigo style of boxing. But I just call it how I see it.

    Mathalane a is qty operator. Look the word going around the camp at that fight was Casimero didn't train as well for that fight. That fight was in SA it's high elevation and he had trouble breathing at high altitude those were his words. Yeah, he lost fair a square he was 22. So what?

    What makes Casimero dangerous right now is his team he surrounded himself with knowledgeable trainers and conditioning coaches. From Pacquiao's trainer, Nonoy Neri. Memo time Heredia to Capatllo. He trained with Pacquiao for this fight. Some of that work ethic rubs off hopefully.

    It's a tough fight. But Casimero has put in the work. That's one thing I thought he lacked was the right team and promotion. Who can take him to the next level. So no excuses! Casimero has everything. I am picking Casimero to spark Rigodeaux in 6.

    This fight will probably be a sloppy or boring decision for Rigo. He hasn't looked sharp at all under Shields. They should have brought Pedro Diaz back after the Ceja fight.
