Guillermo Rigondeaux; FACTS!

Rigo needs to come on strong early. He can't allow Donaire to try and steal rounds with late flurries. Not saying he needs to open up completely and get reckless... But I do believe he's gonna have to "roll the dice" a few times in this fight. I think any round that's close will get scored for Donaire. Rigo needs to focus on winning 7 rounds in a dominating fashion. Donaire can afford to look bad and win. Rigo must look good and win.
With all that said I still think Rigo edges it 7-5.
Yeah I agree with that. Donaire may not even necessarily land much but fans/judges can be often persuaded by workrate.
I really hope he is less conservative than he often can be as I feel any tight rounds will likely go in Donaires favour.Comment

That gif.of rakhim chakhiev ... I know I busted your balls about him before... But he reminds me of Tyson real tight and compact punches... I'd like to see him no one of the networks soon.Comment

That is what I call him The southpaw Tyson
The last I heard he was in line to fight Mateusz Masternak of Poland (29-0 21 K.O's) for his EBU strap.
Would be a great fight. I like Masternak and think he is very good. Ideally I wouldn't mind seeing them fight at a later date once they had a world title each but I can't complain really as its great for boxing. Two undefeated, hard-hitting contenders going at it.
He has a new trainer too, Cuban that trained Solis & Gamboa. I am expecting big things from Rakhim this year!Comment

Not sure he didn't say the name but apparently he worked with both Gamboa & Solis.
Olympic gold medal winner Rakhim Chakhkiev (16-0, 12KOs) is looking for a title shot in 2013. He recently had minor elbow surgery to remove a few bone fragments
I seen some recent mittwork and he was training with J.C Gomez!Comment
