Mathebula is 5 foot 11 no? He was a champ and was very long and tall to hit easily.
Rigo is the perfect size to land on for Donaire. You watch him get plankquiao'd. He is too fast on his feet which lead to him dropping vs Cordoba.

Rigo's punch resistance is his only liability. I think if he remains 100% focused, he's gonna be a headache for Nonito to land on. What Rigo needs to do is make Nonito force the action. Once that happens, the counter-punch opportunities will open and I have my su****ion that Donaire can't take it to the body.

I don't even think it's gonna be close. Nonito is going to smoke Rigo out, I see a higlight reel KO after dominating the Cuban.
Rigo's chin is his downfall, and he can be hit. Nonito is a special talent.

As a fan, this fight gives me a woody.
With that said, I can see this fight going multiple ways. Rigo's chin being suspect isn't a huge factor to me. NO one can really walk through one of Nonito's clean shots, especially that left hook.
Rigo is as slick as they come. VERY hard to hit. But that's mainly because he's super cautious fighter. What really puts Rigo in danger is the fact that he's a southpaw, has a "jump in" type of offensive style when he does get aggressive and Donaire has a NASTY left hook. Donaire's left hook is picture perfect for Rigo and if he catches him, the fight is over.
Both fighters are excellent counter-punchers but Donaire is just as comfortable with creating offense. I think Rigo is capable of doing this, but doesn't seem as comfortable doing so as a Pro. Rigo would have to step out of his comfort zone to beat Donaire and like I said, that could open him up for the KO. But the bogey is I honestly don't think Rigo has shown all that he's capable of as a pro. The fight likely comes down to Rigo doing so which I think he is capable of doing. The other bogey is Rigo's body punching.
There are so many ways this fight could play out. I actually think Rigo is a tougher opponent than Mares for Donaire. I am excited as hell for this fight.
