    I agree that volume is something that works in Donaire's favor. But even if they box at an even pace, I think Donaire would still have the upper hand, as Rigo himself has been even more negative at times.

    Yeah I would like to see Donaire throw more combos like Pacquiao.

    Donaire's defense isn't as good as Rigo's...especially considering Donaire isn't a reckless fighter who leaves himself open coming forward. He's a flat footed counter puncher. The best chance for Donaire to catch him is to exchange with him. Push the pace and make him uncomfortable. Cordoba isn't very skilled, but he's big, strong, and rough, and he gave Rigo a ton of trouble. Rigo is so small and weak in the upper body that he could get pushed around. Does Donaire have the temperament to do that? That's the question.

    Easy win for Rigo. watch the welts begin to form under Nonito eyes and him to look puffy after the first round. Guillermo going to school him. making Donaire get desperate and leap in missing wildly. Even resorting to pulling rigo down to the canvas to get him out of his fight plan. Unfortunately this will not help him and his team. Very interesting to hear how absence Garcia is going to be only giving Donaire pep talk " come on you can do it " no tactics Rigos got an answer to everything Donaire brings. Donaire is good at improvising.
    But Rigo can improvise in the ring like Erroll Garner can on a piano. and you know what that means :hi:

    Rigondeaux has superb defense so that's no knock on Donaire who has very good defense in his own right. Donaire can fight aggressively when he wants to, he destroyed Jorge "El Travieso" Arce in his last fight by coming forward a lot.

    Rigo has pop in both hands too, I don't know why people don't acknowledge it. I just think Rigo is way better fighter than Donaire

    If Rigo wins, it wont be easy. Donaire bruises and swells up easily. Just look at the Rios-Alvarado fight, Rios face doesn't swell up easily and Alvarado does, even though Alvarado was landing the bigger shots. It will be a great fight but to say it will be an easy fight one way or the other is nonsense.

    I agree, his straight left and straight right combo that dropped Marroquin was impressive considering Marroquin is a naturally 135 pounder.

    Arce was on the back foot initially, but Donaire didn't start landing til he came forward. I have no idea why he isn't being matched with guys who come straight in. He'd be a KO machine.
