Rigondeaux with slight chance of beating Donaire?

[sugar555]

First of all i am a donaire fan not a rigondeaux fan just thought i'd point that out. Now I went back and looked at the Nishioka fight (i was/am a nishioka fan thought he would win) up until Nishioka got knocked down the fight was honestly very dull with Donaire doing most if not all of the work but finally when something happened and Nishioka decided to open up and throw that left hand he got it in not just once several times. I felt if nishioka did this and feinted and threw that left hand from the start he might have possibly won that fight on points. What i'm saying is if Rigondeaux truly has that power in his left hand he may be able to catch donaire all night while neutralizing his left hook then he could win. But that's all a fantasy a dream if you will. Most of you know that Rigondeuax will get dominated and most likely KO'd its so obvious a guy like Marroquin was able to hurt Rigondeaux with his left hook imagine what happens when donaire leand his?

I think it's a 50/50 fight, what do you mean slight chance?

Marroquin is a very different fighter, Donaire is a counter puncher, Marroquin was pressing and pressing and a very tall rangy guy. Completely different fighter.

I think the problem for both guys since they are both great counter punchers, one of them has to lead and neither of them do a very good job of it.

Dominated? I don't think so. Donaire might indeed land a massive shot and end Rigo's night, but if that doesn't happen, the fight is very much in the air.

definitely a 50/50 fight...rigo has massive power for a little guy..

50/50 fight which I favour Rigo

Wow, everyone that's responded to the OP thinks this fight is an even call. I don't know if it's me, but it seems more people are starting to see this fight as very tough to call. I used to favor Donaire 60/40; now I'm thinking it's getting closer to 50/50.
