There is real bad blood between both teams. Rigondeaux has made several racist remarks and low blow comments toward Donaire.
Calling an Asian a "chino" is not racist. That's the way we talk in Spanish.

It wont be decided until the championship rounds and there Donaire will finally get a chance to unleash his humongous left hook and that will KTFO Rigo.
I think he's very open to counter shots when he pounces, especially to the left hook, but he really hasn't faced guys who are good enough to really punish him for it, even if he has faced guys who have shown that he can be punished.
I think Rigo can take away Nonito's best punches if that's what he sets his mind on. But he has to take risks himself to actually win the fight, and if Donaire is as good a counterpuncher as he has looked to date then I'd question Rigo's ability to stay out of harms way.

He's ridiculously slick, but I think that leads people to overlook some of the flaws that the dude has, particularly when he switches into attack mode himself.

Rigo is a legend in the sport, there's a reason he has 12 fights and is fighting one of the pound for pound best in the world.
The reason I'm picking Donaire is because he too is very fast and I just can't see him staying away from Donaire for 12 rounds but there will be moments when he shows how great of a boxer he really is.
