What is your prediction on Donaire-Rigondeaux?

Who wins, when, how, why?

Rigondeaux will shock the World !!!!

Donaire wins by KO in round 10.

Size, experience, resume, and power will all be in Donaire's favor.

I'll say it again: I just don't think that Rigondeaux is quite ready for the likes of Donaire. I don't care how great of an amature he was. Look what happened to Audley Harrison. And age is not favoring anyone either.

Again, Donaire by KO in 10 or less. Probably left hook and folowed up with a flurry of punches dropping the Cuban or ref stoppage. Vegas didn't favor Donaire for nothing.

This fights is a toss up. First, you got Guillermo Rigondeaux (11-0) with 8

KO's on his resume. This man had an outstanding amateur career of (400

wins and 12 losses) and he's a two time Olympic Gold Medalist and he is

the current WBA Super Bantamweight Champion. I still think he should of

taken a tune up fight before this major fight he was originally scheduled to

fight Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym of Thailand on the Donaire-Arce card on

HBO this past December however, Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym failed his

blood test and that bout was ultimately canceled that isn't Rigondeaux fault

the venue where they are fighting Radio City Music Hall at that same arena

where Roy Jones Jr. fought when he was the Light Heavyweight Champion

in his prime. Well Guillermo Rigondeaux is a dangerous puncher and also,

does have the ability to pull the a major upset, just like Glen Johnson KO'd

Roy Jones Jr. past his prime however, I watched Guillermo Rigondeaux last

fight fight Roberto Marroquin he actually hurt Guillermo Rigondeaux in rounds

3 and 9 what's going to happen when Nonito "Flash" Donaire tags him with a

punch like that? The same kind of punch he KO'd Fernando Montiel with back

in 2011? It will be LIGHTS OUT! That remains to be seen though. I am entitled

to my opinion and I'm leaning slightly towards Nonito "Flash" Donaire and if he

somehow pulls it off and and wins this fight he's on track to be the next Manny

"Pacman" Pacquiao. Nonito "Flash" Donaire via a 12 Round Majority Decision.

This is an interesting fight on the surface. However, Donaire will outclass Rigondeaux based solely in the quality of fighters each have faced and his physical size advantage. Donaire has faced more fighters with great resumes while Rigondeaux's former foes are at best C class fighters. Rico Ramos, who Rigondeaux beat, was a paper champion and has been exposed. Marroquin and Cordoba, both just fringe contenders gave Rigondeaux trouble. I see the fight to be tentative in the first two rounds since we got two counter punchers testing each others movements. In the inevitable exchange, Donaire's power will be more transparent making Rigondeaux fight backing up. Rigondeaux will get his moments with some counters but will be overwhelmed by a bigger, stronger, just as smart, and just as fast as he is Donaire. The high work rate and size of Donaire will sap Rigondeaux's energy round by round. Donaire by TKO between the 6th and 9th round. Don't forget to send me my share of your winnings.

Funny how how everyone was real confident in donaire koing rigondeaux now their probably hiding from ppl collecting money. I just like other real boxing fans knew this would happen. Hes just too good and basically schooled the best and know should look to move up. Shouldnt even waste time in this division

Donaire by KO with a left hook in the middle rounds.

Who wins, when, how, why?
