    Not a chance. Rigondeaux by late stoppage/comfortable decision.

    I really, really want to see this fight.

    This will be an unreal fight! I'm torn between who to choose.

    Donaire's nasty power or Rigo's sublime skills? It's a hell of a fight, either way!

    Donaire wins this easier than expected, I reckon.

    I heard it's in Macau?. I loved the idea of this fight a year back. Computer like speed from both men. But Rigo's exposed a little bit of fragility, Still a damn good fighter but may not be what some hoped.

    I think Donaire would be my favorite, Although he'd need to be at his top level.

    Yeah I had thought that Rigo would win big a while back, but now I can't be 100% confident he will. Just seems fragile and Nonito has big power. I think Rigo could pull it off though...

    I think Donaire will do him. Rigo looks like a master technician who is on the decline the skills are all there but physically he is starting to wane.

    Not confirmed at all and in fact the original story on this did not even have a quote directly from Arum stating Rigondeaux would be the opponent. Donaire's manager says it will be Rigondeaux, John, or Vic.
