Rigo looks even better than I expected, Donaire's fan will be in great shook April 14
Rigondeaux is shredded without a doubt and I'm nervous but I have the most confidence in Donaire to come out on top.
Is it about the percentage of the purse or overall money? A Pacquiao-Marquez 5 in Macau I heard from a credible source would generate at least $50 million in total purse, plus they would pay less tax than in USA. Give Marquez $20 million and Pacquiao $30 million. If Marquez turns down $20 million then let him fight somebody else for $2 million.
donaire deserves respect for taking on this fight because it's one of those high risk low reward type fights.
Yeah Donaire is taking a huge risk by fighting Rigondeaux. Donaire loves us fans and he's always thinking of us first.
Until he moves up but props to Nino. Hes fighting a very dangerous guy.
If Gamboa can make 126, I'd love to see Donaire fight another Cuban right after Rigo.
Max is not the person to listen to for this fight simply because he has been madly in love with all Southpaws since the days of Pernell Whitaker. It doesn't make Kellerman wrong, just that it is hard to follow him with an open mind when he is talking about a southpaw because he is heavily biased towards them. It's better to listen to a panel of experts to get varrying degrees of opinions. Not hard to see either fighter winning by KO or by decision. Nothing would surprise me in this fight.
Oh thanks I never knew that.
I agree. Top Rank waited and screwed us out of Lopez-Gamboa, which could have been a great fight, and now it's gone.
I am completely surprised they made the fight, good on Top Rank.
I am hearing Donaire fights Juanma next.
Donaire is out for blood. This is the most intense ive seen him. War donaire!!
Yeah this is the angriest I have ever seen Nonito. We are going to see World Championship Boxing on HBO like how we are never seen it before, go Nonito!
:boxing:
While I think Rigo might be a rarer talent, Donaire has been prize fighting much longer and has thus fought good opponents and has gotten great sparring in those camps. Rigo has to show that his talent makes up for the prize fighting experience.
Donaire should be favored, but Rigo stands more than just a chance. Let's see how he handles real power.
I agree this is close to a pick-em fight but I give the edge to Nonito. Donaire just has that left hook that can't be ignored and he can end this fight at any moment if it connects.
So you think those are the only guys he has fought? Guess you are new to Boxing and never heard of Darchinyan, Montiel, Arce and others. The left hood is lethal, not up for debate. The only thing debatable is if Rigo can avoid it or take it and not be badly hurt or recover quickly. If so, then Rigo MAY win.
Yeah Darchinyan, Montiel and Arce all felt Donaire's left hook and they couldn't hold up. Donaire also has a straight right that Rigondeaux needs to worry about.
They'll go where the belts go.
Around El Chacal's midsection.
Rigondeaux is going to be rolling in fine Filipino girls once he steals them all from Donaire as he robs him of his manhood.
We will see about that. Donaire is the best in the division for a reason.
good money for both fighters, hopefully all those lackeys around Rigo's camp don't have any stake in his purse
He will be left with almost nothing because his team has too many people.
So if Donaire re-injures his hand, does anyone here really think he can beat Rigo with only one hand?
That was the only reason he couldn't finish off Vazquez because he fractured the bone in his left hand otherwise he would have KO'ed him like Darchinyan, Sidorenko, Nishioka, Arce, etc.
Anything can happen in boxing. We just saw what happened in the Bradley Provodnikov fight. Who would have predicted Tim going life and death with Ruslan, a low ranked fighter?
A quick blow to the midsection by Rigondux would send Donaire to the canvas writhing in pain. Who knows?
So I'd rather not predict the outcome of this fight.
That is why Donaire needs to keep his hands low and invite Rigondeaux to go for his head and counter off of that.
Does anyone really think he can beat Rigo with 2 hands?
But i a sure you that when Donaire losses to Rigo he will act worst then Rios and will make many excuses as to why he lost, IF he win I will once again become a fan of his and give him he just due,
Donaire will not lose to Rigo, Nonito is too great right now.
Didn't he say after he beats Rigo he's going to take a long vacation to be with his new baby? I wonder how long he'll take off.
Arum wants him to fight Juanma in September and then he can fight one more time in December.

This is the biggest fight ever in boxing, if your not hyped up for it then I don't know what to say.
