Comments Thread For: Nonito Donaire Excited By Thought Of Rigondeaux Rematch At 118 Pounds

[cjeagle1]

One of many intriguing potential 118 fights, but unlikely to happen given the line-ups that were supposed to happen and remain most likely, mainly Inoue v Casimero and Donaire v Oubaali, then Inoue would take winner Donaire/Oubaali to unify.

If Donaire beats Ouballi, I can't see him getting out of another war with Inoue in any shape to continue fighting - as well as he fought, he took some helacious damage against Inoue last time out.

Only way we get Donaire v Rigo is if he loses to Ouballi without taking too much damage, then its Inoue v Ouballi and leaves Donaire open to a possible rematch with Rigo.

But, been saying all along, don't rule out Casimero to upset the apple cart and beat Inoue. Inoue/Casimero is the most intriguing of them all.

You could say the same about Inoue during his fight with Donaire. Inoue came out of that fight with a lot more damage than Donaire: a broken nose and orbital bone which caused him to have double vision.

I agree about Casimero though. That guy is one tough customer who has kept on winning world titles in 3 different divisions despite fighting almost entirely on foreign soil.

Arum eventually realized how dangerous Casimero can be and steered Inoue away from that fight with Casimero on his very first fight under contract with Top Rank.

That's my feeling too, that both will have slower reflexes and more punches are likely to be landing, which favours the one that hits harder, which I'm guessing is Donaire.

Easily convinced otherwise though - would be an intriguing fight.

The harder hitter is Rigondeaux not nonito. Who was reeling back by the end of the fight?
