Rigo has lost his legs, donaire would go into the bout moderately favored.
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.
I have always liked Nonito. I used to pass by him when he would go jogging and he always seemed like a down to earth guy. Good to see him still working hard.
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.
