HBO: 24-7 Road to Donaire-Rigondeaux:

Rigondeaux deserves a beating for wearing that red leather jacket he had on at the press conference the other day. He looked like a refugee from a Michael Jackson concert in the mid eighties. What was he thinking?

Just showing his commie colors, who knows, I can see Rigon doing just about anything (dirty) to try and win this fight, but I believe Nonito is going to wax his Cuban ass, no matter what he tries.

Great fight for us hardcore fans Saturday night, i'm really looking forward to it.

cheers

It is a case of staying up, getting up at the right time or watch the repeat in the morning. I am undecided yet.

I am looking forward to this one too, I think Donaire is in for a tough fight but he is more than capable of winning this one. I hope we have fireworks and I am picking Donaire to wins by stoppage.

Gentlemen and Fellow Donaire Fans - does anyone have any concern that Donaire will lose a number of rounds as a result of his recent tendency to wait while loading up on the big shot? It seems like he is looking to land the "bolo" punch for rounds at at time. And how about the jab? He didn't throw many in his last fight. Is it necessary for a win?

Unfortunately, I might have to catch this on replay as I have a wedding Saturday night. We'll see. Please no spoiler thread titles.

Rigondeaux waits LONGER.... Donaire is a harder hitting counter-puncher to boot. So even if he waits for a shot on the counter, his impact will be more than Rigon's incoming. At least what the theory is.

That he liked it?

This is such a boring weekend of boxing apart from the main event, I have been bored this weekend without the prediction contest and the lack of fights
