Donaire vs Rigo?

[Julius Rain]

Who wins and why?

[DavilaJones]

I think it will break compubox numbers for most feigns ever in a fight but it will be a mental chessmatch of perhaps the highest caliber. I think Rigo will win for one reason, Donaire does seem to want to go for the K.O and from time to time you see him get bored in a fight against a defensive opponent. Rigo on the other hand is focused throughout. As far as power goes I think both of them can bang the other pretty good and Rigo was hurt twice by a mean left hook and if Nonito does connect I'm sure it will do massive damage.

Still I think Guillermo will win simply because he'll bide his time and be patient enough for an opportunity.

Rigo has the skills to pay the bills. I think he can make Donaire actually miss a few shots, and he can counter to boot.

[Rantcatrat]

Donaire right now on the cards, but I want to see how Rigo looks in another fight. I think Donaire will win the close rounds.

[Spicoli]

Right now I'd go Rigo. He's just more natural and fluid in his own skin and hand speed to spare. Donaire poses too much for me and forces the issue with bombs. I could see him running into a counter off a counter and he's doing himself no favors battering an Arce to prep for Rigo. I think Donaire and Mares will happen though.

But, who has Rigo beat as a professional? Was Robert Marroquin the way to prepare for Donaire? For me it's hard to get the Cordoba fight out of my head.

It's not like Rigo is any faster than Donaire, nor does he have more pop. Is it possible Rigo is more patient, calculated and accurate than Donaire? Sure, but Donaire is far more battle tested as a professional than Rigo. Far more. He's the safe bet in my opinion.

People are not gonna give Rigo his just due because he's a world champion so early. But do people really want to not see Rigo vs Donaire? When I was growing up I thought it was about unifying titles. Rigo was wobbled thats a part of boxing. Everyone says he hasnt fought anyone. He wont really get the credit til top dogs accept and these promoters make it happen. its a high risk fight and I think boxers and promoters are scared. There is no way arce got a shot and Rigo cant. Rigo has a decent buzz now but promoters and fighters know its a high risk and low reward. With that being said. Mares/donaire will move up in weight before they fight Rigo.

Your point is that it makes no sense to fight Rigo? I somewhat agree. It only makes sense from a legacy perspective. It's not like fans are flocking to see Donaire versus Rigo, at least not in the same way that they would be excited about Donaire vs. Mares.

Yea I agree with you cause id like to see abner vs donaire first. And id like to see mares vs rigo. Im a big fight fan so everything I say might not make sense but I do feel like all three boxers need to get it on. Boxing match matching fucking sucks lol

By the way, I read earlier today that there is a provision in Rigo's contract extension requiring a Donaire fight within his next three fights, which means I bet we see Rigo-Donaire very soon.

Well that would be nice to see. Test Rigo and see what he's really made of. Donaire should fight Mares first then Rigo. Mares has been working hard and i can only see it being fair if he fought Donaire.

[Silkeyjoe]

I think this is such a tough one to call. Rigo is one of the most skilled boxers ever. Donaire is a top 5 p4p at the moment. I have to make Donaire fav. He has fought the better opponents and has more experience as a pro. Rigo has been a mix bag since going pro looking brilliant for a few rounds and not so good other times. In saying that he fought Cordoba in his 7th pro fight and Ramos in his 9th. Unheard of a fighter to be fighting this level after so few fights, so much respect for him. I'd make Donaire 4/9, Rigo 7/4 and the Draw 20/1.

"Look SNITCH, already got my blood drawn. So you can't come out and say I never got the blood drawn. Let's go Nonito, you LAB RAT"

I think that's what he said
