This could be the fight of the year, especially if Rigon springs the upset. Lots of us could be eating crow.
April 13
At New York (HBO): Nonito Donaire vs. Guillermo Rigondeaux, 12 rounds, WBO/WBA junior featherweight title unification; Sean Monaghan vs. Dion "Rex" Stanley, 8 rounds, light heavyweights; Mikael Zewski vs. Daniel Sostre, 8 rounds, welterweights
Donaire has been fighting as a Pro since 2001 (12 years) and 32 fights, he's on a level way above Rigondeaux in Pro and Championship experience. Rigondeaux had a ton of fights as a Cuban amateur, but he's never faced anyone close to as good as Donaire, as an amateur or in his 11 fights as a Pro. Rigon will get outclassed, outboxed and KTFO April 13th.
