    Now that both guys just lost would you still consider seeing a rematch between Donaire and Rigo? Donaire just lost to an elite level talent while Rigo lost twice in a row to subpar opponents. I think this time the fight is a bit more even compared to their first meeting and Donaire has a shot at avenging the one loss that started his career setback. I wouldn't mind seeing this as a farewell fight for both of them.

    Yeah, Rigo still has a good style advantage, but he's more shot, so I feel it is a good fight to make for Donaire in terms of legacy, and good for Rigo monetarily.

    Nah, Donaire is done. Win over Quabli and Gaballo doesn't convince nobody he is the same boxer. He been on a slide for 5 years. Had he beat Casimero when they were slated to fight. Then I would have agreed. But as this stanza the man looks old and starting to get wrinkles.

    Nonito will kill Rigo this time around. Rigo was outboxed and dropped by a complete nobody.

    No. Style makes fights. Rigo is all wrong for Nonaire. Just call it a day he has been baxxing in the pros since Inoue was 13. So let's just call it curtains.

    rigo was boring in his prime. now he is nothing. Donaire is a great boxer, but at nearly 40 he lost his chin.

    Yes, so at least one of them can retire on a high note

    No, it does nothing to either guys career and it wouldn’t even be a payday fight. It would be a hard sell on free TV.
