      A pretty straight forward interview. I'll summarize.

      He only cares about boxing (disregards politics, religion, internet culture), but watches all sports.

      He ranks his Gold Medal victories as tougher and more important fights than pretty much any pro fight (so far).

      When asked if this was his most important fight so far, he said no and that it was Donaire's most important fight.

      He doesn't take trash talk seriously, and that respectfully, all questions will be answered on April 13 (this day can't come fast enough).

      When asked how will he win? His answer was "However".

        Pretty much.

        I'll just add that he said he enjoys dancing, all styles. And spoke highly about MMA and the MMA fighters he's training with, even jokingly said he might just switch over to MMA.

        And he nicked named himself after a character from a very popular Latin show.

              Great interview. I like how Rigo responded very candidly to the question about Donaire. No trash talk, just an honest and respectful answer: "He's a good fighter...he's a good fighter." When it's all said and done, these guys respect each other as fighters. The rest is just smoke.

                Rigondeaux is so casual and relaxed. Bring on the 13th!

                  That wasn't the case back in the press conference when he said he could beat all of Donaire's opponents in one night and made the racist comment where Nishikoa couldn't see because of his slanted eyes.

                    It's called trash talk. You really think Rigondeaux believed what he was saying? C'mon....
