    Try for once to make an analysis using your common sense.
    All your posts are based on denigrating the non Mexican opponent.Which is ok with me but works against your credibility.
    Mares is an excellent fighter, so is rigondeaux . We can differ of who wins and still expect a good fight.
    I'm not gonna bring Mares struggles in the past,rather to see his qualities and what a show will be to see them in the ring.

    Also kid many pick rigo as u can see same happened with Moreno look how that turned out mares ain't one that runs from a challenge but towards it, and wins everytime. Mares always the under dog soon he will get his much deserved respect.

    One key difference is that Moreno was featherfisted for the weight class below where the Mares fight took place, whereas Rigondeaux puts pretty much everyone down at 122. Yes Mares' pressure could make him concede, but Mares would be eating more punishment to get in if he tries the same strategy against Rigondeaux.

    Honestly, I think Mares would beat Rigo. Rigo may have more tallent, but he lacks experience, and he's essentially a one handed fighter.

    If Mares can keep away from his left, get close, bang to the body, and use his superior strength to bully Rigo, I think he beats Rigo down by attrition.

    Moreno is an all around better fighter than Rigo, and somewhat comparable, except Moreno has a chin and is a warrior.

    I think Mares wins by late KO.

    I don't see Rigo beating Moreno either. I think Moreno is a stylistic nightmare for Rigo.

    My vagina is irrelevant here.
    I've no problem with your Mexican fighters since I'm fan of more than a few.
    I have predicted that Arum may work a deal with gbp since the pressure grows for Donaire vs mares and will lease Rigo's services to face mares while the winner gets Nonito. I'll love to see this happening.

    Wrong.

    Or misunderstood.

    Donaire is patient when comparably sized men attempt to box him. He was aggressive against Mathebula because Mathebula had a significant size and reach advantage.

    To stay on the outside would mean that Donaire would be fighting in Mathebula's favor, allowing him to utilize his long reach and peck his way to a decision.

    Donaire had to force the fight to win against Mathebula. He showed his versatility. He wasn't perfect, as he often neglected the jab, but his game plan was the right one to use in that situation.

    That's where Rigo fails. Rigo doesn't have the chin to utilize an aggressive gameplan. He may get knocked out by a jab.

    Mathebula and Moreno would be nightmare matchups for Rigo because they may not be huge punchers, but they have enough power to knock him out and keep him back.

    They would utilize their superior reach and height in Mathebula, and reach and slick skills with Moreno.

    Rigo also lacks a right hook. Rigo is best suited against come foward guys or guys that are similiar sized that are content to box.

    Rigo would be a difficult matchup for Donaire because Donaire doesn't have a signficant reach advantage or height advantage, but he has power in both hands and is a more well rounded fighter with far more experience.

    Mares is probably too tough and too experienced for Rigo. He would win by attrition.

    Mares grinds rigo down and possibly stops him late. Mares pressure would be too much for rigo.

    I also agree that Moreno would be a tough fight for Donaire. I think Donaire would fight Moreno more aggressively, but Moreno is hard to hit and he has a great chin, and every punch in the book.

    Against Rigo, I think Donaire will be more tenative and wait for the KO to come. I doubt he'll force anything, but he has that option because Rigo does not have a right hook.

    If Rigo develops a right hook, he would be a far more dangerous fighter. Unfortunately, Rigo will likely be KOed, and brutally, before he's given an opportunity to develop it.

    Everyone take a shot whenever ROACH blesses us with his sophisticated technical boxing analysis and writes "Rigondeaux [or Rigo] does not have a right hook."

    Mares is a great fighter and uses different strategies to give him the upper hand based on each opponent. So if your basing a rigo win on the style he used on Moreno that's not a very accurate prediction. I still take mares but its irrelevant as I never see this fight taking place because GBP tr.


    imo mares will be a boxer puncher and sporadically pick up pressure in spots, to catch his body and chin in spurts and not let rigo counter to much. Always on the move and carefully applying pressure because if he fights like he did against Moreno a slick mover that style wouldnt suit rigo, it would be compeitive and mares had the tools to take rigo in deep water and drown him.

    to bad we would never see it.

    He has one but rigos bread and butter is the left nothing wrong with that, that right is more of a range finder for that left missile but his misile only works when he is planted on the move he ain't so powerful which is imo what mares donaire will try to get rigo to do, not be so stationary to set up a big counter with full force.

    I respect both either can win but you have to give the edge to Rigo considering he already beat him & did it fairly easy as well.Very interesting fight but don't see it happening anytime soon if ever cause of TR/GB fued.

    Actually most will say that it was a competitive match that rigo won clearly, and that was a young mares with headgear, the pro game would be very different
