That jumping in stuff that Donaire has a habit of doing is what I see being a problem for him. Rigo's footwork and counter punching will put an end to that I think. It comes down to who will be able to successfully fight their fight and in almost every fight I watch of Donaire, he is jumping in. If he can't get his shots off in the manner that he normally does, will he be able to adapt? I think he will but will he be as successful? It is definitely an intriguing fight to say the least.

I'm of the thinking that "everyone has a plan until they get hit", and we haven't seen yet if Rigondeaux will be able to keep his presence of mind in the heat of battle against an elite fighter on a big professional stage like this. I just think that if he gets hurt he'll revert back to his amateur style and instincts, which is what he's known pretty much his whole boxing life.
Nothing wrong with that, but I highly doubt the judges will look favorably on someone who's potshotting and seemingly unwilling to engage. If he was the bigger draw he could get away with it, but Nonito's the A-side here so he'll have to make a good impression on the judges. But yeah, def gonna be good.
I must agree that "El Chacal" cannot afford to be overly defensive in the biggest fight of his life. I expect Nonito to take the fight to him. Quite frankly, I would be surprised if Rigo doesn't reply with some gusto. I'll be disgusted if he doesn't.

i just hope rigondeaux doesn't retire or go onto become damaged goods after donaire, or else in retrospect it'll just be "that rigo guy never even beat anyone" "wow, he beat a guy with 10 fights, that deserves credit why?" "man, look at audley harrison, the am's and pro's are completely different" etc
