Rigo won't be willing to go beyond that
Nonito can counter, so he can win the boxing match
but it's on him to both box and make his power count
if it stays purely tactical, the fight will suck
Rigo will do his best to ensure that
Nonito has to use the right more in this fight
put some hurt on Rigo and take his heart
expecting Rigo to be on the run once it gets to the mid rds

rigondeaux kot to donaire in 6 o7 round

Donaire still has to cut 7 pounds. Rigo has been at 121 for a while now. I wonder if it'll make any difference in the fighters' performances. I'm glad my horse has been under the limit for some time. I want "El Chacal" to feel strong for the fight of his life.

it's gonna be a tactical fight all the way to the 12. let's not kid ourselves. Donaire is just trying to lower expectations a little bit whilst selling the fight

I was wondering why Nonito was working out yesterday since fighters usually rest the last week before a fight but now I guess we know why....he is still trying to make the weight.

That is a disturbing sign.

you're right, but when the right is thrown(atleast to the head) it's when rigo's cross comes in as simultaneous offense&defense, donaire will have to be real careful throwing that punch, esspecialy leaping in or looking to punch right through rigo, could easily have him flying into a rib crunching left uppercut

he should keep rigo right at the end of his right hand and keep it's focus mainly to the body, the headshot i still think his safest bet is the left hook, which he'll have to bring on rigo after some fleet footed circling to avoid coming directly down the pipe, which he does usually
