That inactivity is a real problem. He wouldn't have fought for almost a year when he gets in with the best 122 lber in the world. Tough fight for Rigo. Even tougher without a tuneup. Full credit to Donaire if he wins.
Couldn't possibly happen. I thought Nonito was scared and ducking Rigo? Rigo really would have been better off with Mares first.
If the fight does happen, it'll be the Chessmatch of the century... Donaire's Plan A usually works, but if it doesn't, Plan B usually doesn't work. His offense just isn't diversified, unless he's worked on that recently. Whatever the case, his left hook or right down the pipe may end up making it an early night... Rigo's chin seems a bit sketchy. If either two has to adjust, Rigo has the advantage in changing plans. He's much more diversified and calculating. He seems to know when and how to pick the right shots. His biggest problem is getting caught by Donaire's two big punches, which lefties are particularly susceptible to in the first place.
Who was his last opponent other than Arce who didn't have a pulse? Nishioka, Mathebula, and WV Jr have come all since Narvaez, if he's who else you had in mind.
good and I hope they make the fight already, I'm sick of this fight not getting made. hopefully after this fight none of the haters jump ship to mares, that would be weak and pathetic. I'm ok with whoever winning not fighting mares because of ****ing promoters. If mares wants the fight then he should leave GBP because the other big names are in TR.
