    I think Rigo is the better technical boxer with more going for him overall, but I think Donaire has massive attributes that can possible equalise Rigo's weakness...or his potential weakness, his chin.
    If Rigo can protect his chin for 36 minutes, I think he wins. I'm just not sure he can.

    Its truly a great match up, the fight i've been hoping for the most over the last 12 months. My dreams have come true with this fight and i'll be staying up in the early hours of the morning to watch it live
    Great post. I really have nothing to add.

      I didn't vote for defense & chin concerning both fighters because I believe Rigo has better defense but Donaire has the better chin.

        Didn't know how to vote that one either... Considering Donaire has no real defense outside of head movement; while Rigondeaux needs no argument on his defense, but his chin on the other hand has a Big argument and will be seen!

          I probably should've separated that, but that's that, because even if you have strong defense(let's say clottey) but cant handle a strong hit(chinny), you'll get wobbled, as for mayweather he uses his speed, footwork and head movement to avoid punches or parry them using his hand or his shoulder roll, same as rigo, agree?
