I'd be inclined to favor Rigondeaux, though Mares may be getting sold a bit short here. The man is no joke.
My thoughts exactly...I'm liking Rigo chances but Mares is no cake walk and will make Rigo fight every minute of this fight.
From what I saw of Mares's last fight, I see Mares's incessant pressure, low blows and a corrupt ref stopping Rigondeaux in the late rounds.
IMO, Rigo has enough pop in his punch to make Mares think twice about keeping up that type of pressure. Another clinic by Rigo.

Rigo wins. I voted "by decision," but it could easily be a KO. The only guy at 122 I have questions about Guillermo beating is Donaire. Everyone else gets beat.
