    Inoue beats Rigo at this point, possibly even stopping him. Just because Donaire made a tough fight doesn't mean Rigo can do the same since styles make fights. Rigo has also slowed down and seems more hittable now.

    This, and Nonito took shots no 118-122 could take. I mean Rigo lost more rounds in his last fight than Inoue did against Nonito.

    I think Rigo will eventually have one last slugfest, before he goes. Someone will underestimate the power of his counter-punches, for this to happen...Someone has to come and outright walk through him, forcing a fight from the opening bell.

    Lets not forget Donaire felt Rigo power & decided to be careful! Vasyl was able to beat Rigo in his own game due to his size/boxing skills

    Inoue will send Rigo into retirement with a final beat-down. It’s an interesting fight but I’m not sure it helps Inoue’s legacy. Didn’t all the guys who said “Rigo would break Loma’s jaw” suddenly change their tune to “Rigo is over 40 and inactive”?

    Inoue is an up and coming star. He’s one of the most exciting, talented young boxer to come along in years. I don’t think Rigo wants any part of him but if he does, I don’t think it would end well for Rigo.

    Rigo would lose to several guys at 118 and 122 if he fought that flat footed phone booth fight he fought last time out. Nery, Inoue, Navarette, Tete, Donaire, all blast him out if he fights like that against them. He's too small physically, to fight that type of fight.

    Those Winning brand gloves would significantly handicap Rigo's sharp punching. Inoue doesn't take those Donaire left hands anywhere near as well without those pillows on his fists.

    Styles...
    Vasyl is immune to anything Rigo has to offer, because himself is a boxing precision instrument.

    Rigo has the power & skills to keep the fight a boxing affair, not sure how Inoue power will work at 122...we have to see it

    Inoue would win by KO. At this juncture I think Donaire could win a rematch with Rigo.

    A few years backlit would have been very interesting, with my money on Rigo, but this version gets caught and stopped by the monster
