Guillermo Rigondeaux v Nonito Donaire.

You will be surprised... call me crazy but Rigondeux would win this fight, Donaire is an excellent boxer, they are both kind of like made for each other, it would be a fan's dream fight, and the best thing is... it will happen! problably early 2012.

donaire will KO rigondeaux early, otherwise once rigondo feels nonito's power, he'll run for 12 rounds and make it a boring fight. Bingo!!!!! I totally agree!

The Cordoba fight was a bit confusing for me...or maybe not so much. Everything was going just fine for Rigo when he was hit and touched the canvass with his glove. Then Guillermo got on his bike and made for one of the most boring fights I've seen in a while. It was as if he reverted right then and there to his amateur days. Maybe it was an off night, as Strugg says. "El Chacal" came back in his next fight and tore Wille Casey a new one. I think Rigo got the memo. Despite approximately 400 amateur bouts, Guillermo only has eight pro fights. He's still growing into his new role. It's pretty impressive that Rigondeaux can already be mentioned in the same breath with Nonito Donaire. good post. it's understable if more people would predict a nonito win based on what we've already seen from both guys. donaire has more fights and experience on his side plus he's fought the tougher opponents with stunning wins that's why he's considered one of p4p best. but rigo is by no means an easy fight, the guy has very good skills, speed an power to match up well with donaire. but like you said he only has 8 pro fights so give him some more fights with good opponents and he will give donaire a tougher fight than expected.

Nonito by TKO. Nonito is on top of his game right now and although Rigo is as talented as it gets he hasn't really WOW'd me as a pro. True statements. And your prediction wouldn't surprise me at all.

rigo seems to me like he doesn't wanna get hit. cordoba caught him with a good one and he almost switch to a panic mode and started dancing around. that style won't work with donaire who is a more powerful puncher than cordoba. nonito has also the skills and speed to match rigo's but his counterpunching is much better. i got rigo on this........................cordoba was an off night...........

Donaire would take Rigondeaux's head clean of his shoulders mid rounds

LOL now Donaire's overrated! :nonono: Looks like a lotta people didn't watch how Rigondeaux struggled over Cordoba. Nonito by KO under 5rds. :Thinkingo Word!

I think most agree it's a tough fight to call. The above posts make valid points. I think Rigo has enough to beat Nonito on the cards, but he's probably not going to exchange much along the way. It might be a somewhat boring fight; but they're two of the best from 118-122. The fight needs to get done sometime. that's the truth.

Tough one but I'm going with Donaire, Rigo just hasn't impressed me that much as a pro fighter. Perhaps he was an amateur too long but he just seems to be looking for those points. donaire will KO rigondeaux early, otherwise once rigondo feels nonito's power, he'll run for 12 rounds and make it a boring fight.

Yes, like 2 hours later. if he can't breathe for 2 hrs, is it not likely that he wouldn't live to see a rematch?

hopefully they do it again..... but donaire will stand up even if he can't breathe. Yes, like 2 hours later.

Well, then what happens if they KO each other, draw? hopefully they do it again..... but donaire will stand up even if he can't breathe.

while donaire can't breathe, rigo will be sleepin after getting caught lunging in to deliver said bodyshot. Well, then what happens if they KO each other, draw?

Rigondeaux by awesome body shot. Donaire will get his breath back like 2 hours later. while donaire can't breathe, rigo will be sleepin after getting caught lunging in to deliver said bodyshot.

rigondeaux hasn't done much against the other top fighters so he isn't much of a match for donaire imo. he looks good so far and has tons and tons of potential, but donaire stands alone from 118-122

Who would you pick in this one? :boxing::boxing::boxing: donaire will KO rigondeaux early, otherwise once rigondo feels nonito's power, he'll run for 12 rounds and make it a boring fight.

donaire by ko. rigo will get timed. no one can convince me otherwise based on actual past fights. donaire is all wrong for rigo b/c rigo loses all his advantages.
