Come on, this thread is a joke. Donaire is a top, top level fighter. If Rigo wins, he's beating one of the best in the world. How can you knock a multi divisional world champion who has beaten the lineal champion in his current division and done so with power and style.

So all the guys who say Donaire is a fraud won't give Rigo any credit if he beats him? Meaning Rigo still won't have a marquee win under his belt
That's a shame as whilst I'm picking Donaire to win, I plan to give Rigo all the credit he deserves if he beats Donaire.
It's also a shame both sets of fans have called each fighter a fraud, as with a logical grown-up's head on, neither man is a fraud, they are the two top guys in their division. This is a genuine bona fide match up and whoever wins deserves the full credit A cake walk for either man, this isn't

I don't feel comfortable using Mathebula as an argument in Guillermo's favor. But I do agree that if Rigo avoids getting caught with a devastating shot, he's perfectly capable of outboxing Donaire, and even of knocking Nonito out himself.

Honestly, man, some of the things you've been posting... SMH

Obviously Mathebula poses different problems stylistically, but my point is that if you're supposedly P4P material with vicious KO power, you should be able to knock out a guy who fights like Big Bird. At the very least you shouldn't look like **** and have a fair amount of trouble with him. Mathebula came close to knocking himself out on several occasions, yet Donaire couldn't.

No doubt, Mathebula stole some rounds. I don't know what "TheHook84" was watching. Nonito was swinging for the fences the whole night, and usually missing wildly. I don't fault Donaire too much for his troubles. It was a bad style match-up against a very tall opponent. What I have a problem with is this notion some guys seem to champion, that Nonito is this invincible monster that does everything flawlessly. C'mon...the man is very good, but he's beatable, just as Rigo is beatable.
Donaire's fans want to harp on the Cordoba jab and the six rounds that followed it, and the two Marroquin hooks. Yet, there are some criticisms that can be laid on Nonito. I'm all for analyzing, that's partly what we're here for, but don't give me this one-sided garbage I expect from a twelve year-old fanboy. People want to talk about "Rigotards." Well, the "Nonitards" are just as bad.
