Could Solis spring an upset this Saturday?

I think it's certainly possible, I just hope the stand and trade Rigo that fought Ceja shows up again

More fan favorite, not sure if he'd be more successful.

He fought Donaire perfectly. Not sure he wins that if he stands and trades for 12 rounds.

That’s what I meant. Fan friendly = successful career. I thought he handled Donaire perfectly as well. Rigo fought largely in boxer-puncher mode. After taking a large lead on the cards, he took his foot off the pedal and went into his more usual defensive mode. Then, late in the fight, Rigo became the hunter and actually had Nonito backpedaling.

Guillermo was always capable of fighting this way, but chose to fight in a manner that turned off the vast majority of fans. He would’ve been busier, and therefore made more money, if he always fought as a boxer-puncher. I hope to see it on display again on Saturday.

I'm pulling hard for Rigo....always a place in my heart when an older fighter goes for a title. Plus I'd like to see him get some more paydays.
