After a series of false starts, accusations of "ducking" and all manner of bullshit, this fight is finally ON! The Caribe Productions and VADA testing issues threatened to derail this show. I'm so relieved that Guillermo did everything needed to make this fight happen. Hats off to both fighters!

WAR RIGO!!!

He'll yeah war rigo!!!!!!!!!

Or is it now?

This fight will be on for me when/if I'm sitting ringside and both guys have hit each other.

It's a start but after all these fights being cancelled I'll be holding my breath until fight night. There is a risk that Rigo might be using PEDs because he delayed signing the agreement as long as possible so lets hope the tests don't turn out to be positive. Not saying he's a cheat, but his actions have been a little su****ious because they verbally agreed on VADA testing a long time ago right at the beginning of the negotiations.

Nonito is one of the few boxers who has year round drug testing so everyone who fights him must take the test. Rigo and his team knew that a long time ago so why the delay? Just makes you wonder. But hey, it could all be a publicity stunt to help hype the fight even more - who knows..

This is one of the bigger fights that hardcore fans have been clamoring for. Hopefully we have at least a couple of more biggies in our future for 2013! (Although I must admit, I'm happy enough with this one that it might just tide me over 'til 2014. lol)

Can't wait for this. Glad to see Rigo get the opportunity on the big stage. Hoping that he knocks off Donaire

The bold is untrue. This is the first time Donaire has demanded one of his opponents agree to the same VADA testing he takes. Everyone else had the option, which none agreed to, as far as I know. Rigo signed within a reasonable time, as the VADA agreement he received wasn't in Spanish. It was reasonable that the man want to read a legal document in his own language. Regardless...the fight is on!

Donaire by 9th round KO !!! Rigo will aquit himself well but does not have the power to keep Donaire off of him.
