Rigondeaux vs Mares who wins and how?

[ИATAS]

Quite possible Rigondeaux makes Mares looks silly.

[PAC-BOY]

With opinions so far...looks like it would be a pretty good fight. Who needs Top Rank?

All I feel I need to say is "Defense". The fact that Mares is a aggressive fighter, will leave his a** open for powerful counters by Rigo. The same goes with Donaire against Rigondeaux.
The talk amoungst trainers is Rigondeaux's defense is the best in boxing. His power and speed are just a bonus to his skills.

Mares has a strong and chin and can adapt to any style.. Mares by late stoppage!!

[Angry Cuban]

I can't see how Mares will beat Rigo...Rigo by shout out maybe late KO..

[MJ223]

I think Mares outfights him to a decision

Rigo's got nice "D," but that title has still got to go to Floyd. Guillermo's biggest problem is his pro inexperience. If he had a chance to gradually climb the ladder against progressively challenging opposition, he'd be able to bring his defense (and offense) up to its ultimate potential. As it is, Donaire is the only guy in the division I think can beat him. Mares loses a decision, and possibly gets stopped.

I don't get this ^^^^ Max Kellerman wouldn't shut up about how Marroquin had a devasting left hook is. Rigo's been hit with all of 2 punches in his career. This fights gonna look like Marquez vs Pacquiao in my opinion except the stances are switched. Still an intelligent boxer counterpunching a fighter who relies on his speed.

That validates my opinion even more. You think Rigo can take the type of shots Marquez took in order to land that KO?

Of course I'm not saying Mares has the pop of Pacquiao, but he doesn't have to. Rigo's chin is that fragile.

Mares does, considering he's GBP.

Anyway to answer OP's question I think Rigo could SD him. I know Mares would make it as competitive as possible, but I still see Rigo not letting Mares land anything significant, not even his famous low blow.

That's the popular thing to say, but I'm not sure I agree. I have to admit that I have my concerns about Rigo's chin, but I believe the jury's still out. Remember, Guillermo doesn't get hit all that much, and he spent years in the amateurs. He might just need to acclimate a little to pro competition.

I was a bit concerned with that Cordoba jab, but Rigo took a couple of hard left hooks from Marroquin and fought on okay. Robert's a good puncher and a big kid, who outweighed Guillermo by a considerable margin on fight night. Whatever the truth about Rigondeaux's chin is, we'll soon have our answer. Donaire is undoubtedly a heavy-hitter.
