Also. Rigondeaux is rusty alredy and they want postpone his fight? He is also old!
This was a bad move for Donaire, good move for Rigo. Rigo gets to sit on the side and only fight once, gets a shot at the unified champ while not having to earn it. Donaire just freaking fought and prob has residual injuries or whatever.
Otherwise it would have been Rigo vs Casimero, then if Rigo wins, rematch Donaire for the unification. 2 fights to get the unification and a risk he loses to Casimero, vs now just 1 fight and a guarantee at the unification with no risk of a loss first.

I wonder if this wise for Nonito's health.
But apparently Rigo was down for it. Maybe he didn't want to fight Casimero?

You recollection is wrong. The fight didn't even go four rounds and Donaire didn't take many punches and none that fazed him in the slightest.
He is still 38 years old and been in a lot of wars. We dont know what happened behind the scenes last fight, what injuries he had from camp ect. Are his hands bad, are his legs bad ect and should they be given rest before going back into another camp. Its rare for any fighter to fight again in under 90 days, only Canelo has really done that recently and he isnt 38.
Its a real ***** move for Rigo to give up his mandatory status and let a 38 year old donaire who just fought 3 weeks ago take his title shot for him. Rigo has a ***** mindset for a elite level fighter that is for sure.

Donaire is a 20+ year veteran who doesn't have to take this fight. If he had any injuries that would effect this bout, he would have passed.
