    Rigo has done more in boxing than Donaire, that's a fact

          I'm going with Rigo!

          It ends 1 of 3 ways.

          KO after striking Donaire's soft midsection.

          TKO from a bloody Donaire face.

          Or it could be a boring fight that Rigo will win by decision.

          Rigo is just as quick as Donaire but you don't see it because he doesn't throw flurries like Donaire. You all know Donaire is a show-boat. Putting his hands on his knee's and jumping all over the place, trust me he won't do that against Rigo. He'll keep both hands up and will have to throw punches from where Rigo will be able to see them coming and use his superior footwork to get out the way.

          Who has Donaire fought that is more skilled than him and is just as quick?

            Donaire reads his opponents punches, Rigo doesn't telegraph his left at all. He is as fast ^ as said already, hits about the same as Donaire and is more skilled.. Also throws straighter punches, Donaire has much more of an arch to his.

              I can't find a video of the Donaire-Narvaez fight. I want everyone to see what just a little bit of defense can do to Donaire's offense.

              I felt the much smaller Narvaez did an excellent job defensively in that fight. Easily dodged the wild punches of Donaire but I wish after making Donaire miss, he made him pay.

I can't agree with every last thing the narrator says, but he makes a good case to back up his points. A video presentation is definitely a nice way to do so.

                One thing the narrator says at the end was pretty interesting: Nonito was hit more in one fight (pick WV2 or Mathebula) than Rigo has been hit in all ten of his professional fights. I still think Donaire is the man to beat at 122, even moving up. But, by the same token, no knowledgeable fan can feel confident about him beating "El Chacal".

                  Narvaez was outsized and outgunned versus Donaire. Rigo is a deadly hitter with great counterpunching skills. You better believe Nonito will respect that. This match-up between Donaire and Rigondeaux is unclear at best. That's what makes it so appealing.

                      Donaire IMO would get frustrated with the movement and skill of Rigo. Rigo by late stoppage or UD.
