Both fights were impressive in their own ways.
1. Donaire for beating a much better opponent than Acosta in a way that was unexpected. (Made a hall of famer look like an amateur, and I am a fan of Montiel)
2. Rio for his heart, and relentless pressure that was able to win him a fight that he was losing on the scorecards (Not Ellie's.....hahah) to a great underrated fighter with more skills than him.
Donaire is destined for greatness because of his tremendous skill, and crossover appeal. He has physical skill as well. He is probably the best all around fighter besides the old breed (Pac, May, JMM, Martinez, Hopkins, and the Klitschkos). He stands along them.
Rios if a fighter who wins with pure heart, pressure, and power. His skills are limited, but he makes up for it with heart. He is a great example of the great Mexican pressure fighters. Any fight that Bam Bam is in will be an entertaining one.
Without heart in this sport you will not go far. Like Ali said " The will must be stronger than the skill."
