    Donaire's best tool is being faster than his opponent. Rigo can match him in speed and Rigo def has power to be respected. Great fight.

    Could be a great match and Donaire will be the aggressor in the fight which will also suit Rigo to counter punch. So would be more entertaining than tonight/this morning in my case than Ramos fight

    Rigo is too strong. p4p I still have Donaire slightly ahead. Rigo is still adapting to the pro game and didn't look too good the one time he went the distance with Cordoba

    anyways both have been in my top10 p4p for a while now. But Rigo is stronger physically

    Rigo punches wide, Donaire will shoot up the middle.

    I'm not buying it, Donaire beats him by either UD or late TKO.

    Ramos did NOTHING tonight, there were openings for shots, one thing Donaire is not, is gun shy. It'd be fun though, Rigo would be forced to fight.

    Donaire is jittery and and light on his feet. He likes to move in-and-out and apply some very unorthodox tactics. Rigo is small and he may find himself overwhelmed against the HUGE Donaire. Technically skilled or not, Donaire is accurate and has some of the most ridiculous power I've seen in a long time.

    We will have to wait, looks like it will be a chess match.

    Rigo has put more mass and added more power and kept his speed sense his last fight I really think he beats Donaire if they fought, and Im a real big fan of Donaire.

    Hard to say. Donaire hasn't fought at the weight yet. Will Donaire's power and speed carry up? If so, he's a threat to anyone. But if he loses a step, he might be ripe for the picking by someone as gifted as Rigondeaux

    Rigo is a real talent. He was getting boo'd tonight but i enjoyed his boxing skills at work. Soon as his interpreter told him to start being more active he lit Ramos up.
