    Same.

    Garcia brings more technical issues to the table than Donaire but after last weekend, it's hard to vision Rigondeaux losing a chess match.

      Look, I like Mikey a lot.

      But I'm not impressed by him calling Rigo out. He is big for 126 while Rigo is a small 122. What would the weight difference be on fight time? Seems like Rigo can't add much weight; would he lose speed?

      Could be that Arum will try to end his Rigo problem by having him move up, where Garcia can impose size. Now, if Garcia moves down, then we have a fight.

      Garcia, in all honesty, should be thinking about 130. What is BS calling out a 122 lbs? Or why call out Rigo and not the other guys at 126 at least? Why not fight Nonito? (oh, "we're friends, my brothers trains him over the phone") If he's not moving to 130 soon, then he should be trying to unify 126.

      Bit of a ***** move.

          Mikey throws combinations and times his punches better than Donaire. I think he's have a chance of stopping Rigo.

Anyway, whatever Guillermo thinks he can do, who am I to argue?
            Yeah man eh?...hahaha..this is awesome..

              I was thinking the same thing. He doesn't have a high output, but he has great timing and actually throws more than 1 punch at a time. He does more than just look for a home run KO like Donaire. He also has some good defense. Rarely gets hit with more than 1 punch at a time. The only thing that worries me is that he's a head hunter and might be hard to find Rigondeaux. But then again, Donaire was trying to get Rigo down stairs alll night and that didn't work at all.

              I got Garcia by KO.

                There's not good reason this fight can't be made at 126. It's only 4 pounds difference.

                  I think if Rigo could make 126, he would've called Donaire out at that weight. No reason for him to move up, if it's gonna cost him one of his attributes.

                    I think mares is the guy to beat rigo.

                    A tough pressure fighter with a chin that can rough him up.

                    If donaire put the pressure on him he could have hurt him, but he did everything wrong.
