Please somebody knock this boring mother****er out. Could see him fighting Payano next

He was trying to be exciting for the past like two fights. I guess that was that. Now he is back to his boring fkin ways.

Who wins? current Rigo vs current Donaire

I actually would like to see that

Great question - hard to call. I think that while Inoue learned from his fight with Donaire and will get better (mainly an age thing), those last couple of rounds likely took something out of Donaire - he took a lot of punishment.

Rigo still hasn't taken any punishment like that. Will be interesting to see how Donaire is next time out - vs Rigo is a fight I'd like to see though (I guess gut is that Rigo takes it again).

So he wants Inoue?



Jesus

What do you think?...

Solis ripped him up in the first round of that last fight, so he went back to not engaging. I'd love to see Donaire get revenge on him

I know people hate on Rigo but he is so nice to watch. Like an android that was built for boxing.

He is hitable this days, can he withstand Donaire's straight and left hook? I think he is not as durable as Inoue

Thing is the styles - Inoue comes forward so Donaire didn't have to go looking for him, and it ended up a cracking fight where Donaire was eventually out-gunned, but was able to give as good as he got for a lot of the fight.

Rigo will more likelydo his normal thing of sitting back and making Donaire come looking for him and reach more - why I think Rigo sharpshoots his way through a rematch to a points win. If Rigo went guns blazing like Inoue, then Donaire wins.

I was at his last fight against Solis. First 2 rounds he came out and tried to do the crowd-pleasing stand and slug style. After he took some good shots in the opening rounds, he switched to his usual high-level defensive technique. The crown didn't care for it and booed loudly. I rather enjoyed his display of defensive mastery.

People forget that Rigondeaux is one, if not the most powerful puncher in the lower divisions. When fighters get hit by Guillermo Rigondeaux, they think twice about coming forward. That power is the last to go.
