Max Kellerman: Donaire has the most THREATENING Fight he can have on paper!

[littlemac]

True. If Donaire stops Rigo I'm afraid he won't get the credit that he deserves though, people will all of a sudden call Rigo an amateur with no resume who only fought bums in the pros prior to Donaire.

Please dude. Donaire gets more then enough credit. Donaire gets credit as the guy cleaning up the sport by forcing fighters into testing while others are called cowards. Donaire takes this fight and is getting credit for taking this fight even thought Rigo was the one pressing for it while Donaire was the one making all the excuses why this fight shouldn't happen. You see Donaire always gets more then enough credit for things other fighters get hate for and discredit for. Rigo should be the one getting the credit for being the one determined to force this fight to happen. Yet Donaire is the one getting credit for it more then Rigo.

you will only hear that to haters and there's a big paycheck waiting to both, good luck to both of them, and hopefully they'll give us what we want, a war! btw I got donaire by mid-round KO or a close but UD

Props for Rigo's determination into finally being able to get Donaire in the ring. Thank you Rigo for making this coming Saturday a great day for boxing!!!!!

lol i think we both know which rabid group of idiots donaire naturally inherited. have you been on youtube lately? i'm still big on donaire but, no lie, a part of me wants to see him lose this saturday.

This is about as high risk-low reward as it gets for a top fighter

I know Kellerman has the biggest hardon right now for this fight. He's been drooling all over for this match up.

While I think Rigo might be a rarer talent, Donaire has been prize fighting much longer and has thus fought good opponents and has gotten great sparring in those camps. Rigo has to show that his talent makes up for the prize fighting experience.

Donaire should be favored, but Rigo stands more than just a chance. Let's see how he handles real power.

I disagree. on paper Rigondo hasn't done more professionally than mares. I would also argue that mares would be a more difficult style too.

donaires excuses are over i'd be suprised if he catches rigo cleanly on saturday.
rigos to accurate and defensive. donaire will end up being too agressive and tasting unnecessary shots

I agree this is close to a pick-em fight but I give the edge to Nonito. Donaire just has that left hook that can't be ignored and he can end this fight at any moment if it connects.
