Donaire vs. Nishioka ( Saturday night fight thread)

[beenKOed]

This will be a fantastic fight and if in the mean time Guillermo can fight someone noteworthy and then fight Mares and the winner of those fights....yeah I doubt that its gonna happen this year

Unfortunately, Rigondeaux does have a fight scheduled and it's against another non-top-10 guy. He's really not doing a good job of building up his "Nonito's ducking me" argument. I do think he'd destroy Mares though -- one of the most overrated guys around.

I understand Anselmo Moreno is at 118 right now, but I view Moreno as a legitimate threat to any of the guys mentioned.

I agree completely. I would rank them Donaire - Moreno - Rigondeaux - Mares. I wouldn't view any outcomes among the first three as a huge upset. I think Mares is a clear class below.

I'm not as high on Rigondeaux as before the Marroquin fight. I know he has a belt, I know he won the fight, but Marroquin had him wobbling twice in that fight. I could be wrong, Rigondeaux had a lot going on outside the ring before the fight. Time will tell.
