    And I got Rigondeaux KILLING Donaire with Body Shots, once he feels that left to the Body Donaire will become reluctant to throw punches like all of Rigondeaux opponents so far and it will turn into a boring fight with Rigodeaux doing what he wants

    Rigondeaux by Decision
    Is Marroquin better than Donaire? Did Rigo kill Robert with body shots? If Nonito is reluctant to throw because of Guillermo's power, can't the same be said the other way around?

    If "El Chacal" and the "Filipino Flash" were to fight today, Rigo might very well win a "boring fight," as you say. But considering Guillermo's pro history, Donaire might just as easily stop him with one good shot. I believe Rigo is a better boxer than Nonito, but power is a game changer. Twelve rounds is a long time not to get caught, as we've seen time and time again. I think Donaire can take a good shot from Guillermo. His chin isn't suspect. Will Rigo be able to take Donaire's power? That's the real question.

      tey would literally stare at each other all night..
      I actually see this happening. But the thing is at some point donaire will land and I don't think Rigo's chin will hold up.

          I'd rather see Rigondeaux fight someone half decent before I pick him against a proven fighter like Donaire.

            I gotta admit I've nearly bought the Rigo hype. After seeing the last performance of his, I would pick Donaire for the KO.

              You don't think Marroquin is "half-decent," Dan? lol Not that beating him is anything like stepping in the ring against Nonito. Just sayin'.

                Toss up fight IMO, maybe a slight edge to Nonito.

                One of my most anticipated fights.

                  I don't to be honest.

                  I want to see Rigondeaux in there with some Top 10 contenders.

                    Im less impressed with Rigo every time he fights. My last eye test was his chin and the punches that hurt him werent just pausing his forward motion. They shook him to his shoes. If and when Donaire lands a left then its lights out.

                      The only way Rigondeax wins is if he gets on his horse and never gets off.
