There's been a lot of talk about Donaire vs Gambo or Lopez. I'm surprised no one has mentioned rigondeaux as a possible opponent.
Less of a jump in weight, only two years apart in age and both known to be superquick counter-punchers.
I know Rigondeaux didn't look stellar in his last, but he has another fight coming next month that can change people's expectations of how this would go down.
I think style-wise it would be an insane speed-chess match to see who lands the big punch first.
Rigo would have to be a huge underdog in this one though.
What do you all think? Should be a more realistic match up then a Gamboa or Lopez one.
Rigo retreats from come forward, aggressive fighters. Donaire doesn't seem to fight that way and prefers to counter and out-box. Rigo likes to do the same. I don't think there would be much running.
Donaire has a better offense, but Rigo has a better defense. The two have about even speed and about even power as well.
The Rigondeaux southpaw bodyshot versus Donaire's ortho left-hook.
I want to see this fight!
rigo has that amateur mentality in him. Nobody will look good against him even donaire. Boring fight with rigo running all around the ring.
stop with the rigo running ****.it was one fight

yep, and it'll be hard for nonito to land a clean punch cause of rigondo's defense and the running.
boring fight. once rigondo gets hit with a big punch, he'll run. donaire by boring UD.

haha, neither can i. That's why i want to see it happen. What nat wrote above stands though. Rigo has got to bounce back and look amazing doing it in his next to get people talking. Rigo has fallen off of a lot of people's radar (maybe he was never on them to begin with).
He was the first guy i thought of though, given the styles. It could be a boring fight, but someone eventually would land something...and it would be huge. Also it would be interesting to see donaire matched up with even speed.
i can see rigo by ko to the body when he counters nonito or nonito koing rigo when he steps up with a hook

I don't know. I'm a Rigo skeptic especially after he got knocked down by a jab from a fighter with not much power. He is one of the most skillful fighter out there though. Nishioka vs Donaire now that's a fight!
