    Donaire is a good 20 pounds naturally bigger and thats what will decide the fight unfortunately

    Yeah, but people are filling their boots at these odds. I'm surprised the bookies are being so generous, even if we agree Rigo should be the underdog.

    Speed kills, Rigo has great defensive footwork, he is a great counterpuncher. I don't think the size advantage is that significant.

    No doubt p4p Rigondeaux is by far the more talented athletically and gifted boxer I just worry about Donaires natural size advantage. In an even fight rigo beats him down easily.

    why do you guys think the size advantage is so relevant here, given the styles match-up?

    Maybe the quality of opposition is greater for Donaire? Rigo is an awesome fighter though. His defense is impressive. This is a very interesting fight. I like Rigo and his style. This should be a good fight. May the best man win!

    Because they are so small even the slightest advantage is often the difference at this level.

    But when you consider Rigo's amateur experience...

    He is a great boxer.

    Are the bookies expecting Donaire to walk Rigo down or what?
