Who is the fastest fighter Donaire has faced? And Rigo? Just curious if either guy has faced someone has fast as the other.

I can see Donaire sparking Rigondeaux, Donaire is one of my favourite fighters very underrated why
I do not no.!

As much as I love this fight I feel bad for the lowblowing Mares.

might just put him in line for another
fighter of the year award.
give me a break
his record is far from from hall status.
Will not get without Mares, Russell &
Garcia wins. Sparking hand picked In
stable fighters on downside is not
going to do it. Also a win against a
Rigo with 11 total fights against less
than stellar opponents. There is a
reason he won a title in such few
fights the division is weak. I do like
Nonitos wins against Vic 2007 and
and Montiel in February 2011 . After that his opponents have been marginal hand picked fighters with 500 percent win -loss records in last few fights. All safe easy fights. Now he needs to cement his legacy against current top fighters not has been resume fluffing foes.
Montiel February 2011. Nonitos opponents have beeb
We'll just have to agree to disagree. It's not worth an argument.

Apparently the only thing left to do is for Donaire to sign his end of the contract according to Gary Hyde

I think Rigo gives him much more probs than Mares and love this fight!
Re: Donaire vs. Rigondeaux, April 27th 2013 is signed
I got rigo for this one. I'll explain why. Donaire gets hit just a bit much too much for my taste. This is puzzling considering he loves to give angles and is seldom in the pocket for too long.
Rigo is hard to hit and yes in his last fight he got hit with a few hard clean left hooks,which I think is the main reason people have picked Donaire over him. An understandable and logical reason but a technically sound and cerebral fighter like Guillermo will adjust for that.
So if you take away Donaire's main weapon which is the left hook and he has been prone to be a bit left hook happy last few fights, what will he do? pump the jab and win rounds or do what he did against Nishioka? Try to bait the opponent to open up? I somehow doubt anyone can get Rigondeaux to open up if he doesn't want to.
Also Donaire does get bored easily and loses focus and concentration mid to later rounds, Rigo on the other hand is always poised and in focus.
I have no idea how well of a chin Donaire is sporting but he might get hit with a few hard bombs later on to score a flash KD or two.
All in all I really like this fight because I can see a reasonable argument for both men to win but I'm still leaning towards Rigo for this one gents.

Very logical and you make a lot of good points. I'm still pretty much up in the air about it and probably won't decide until the day of the fight. I agree that it is tough to pick a winner.
