Maybe. It'll be interesting to see Donaire against a really precise counter puncher with quick hands. Guys who take a shot well often don't suddenly when they meet someone who can counter.

I did think Rigo had a really good chance until he got wobbled with that left hook a while back. He's going to get hit like that at some point against Donaire, and I don't think he'll get away with it like he did then.

Er, wha? I don't think there's anything ELSE to consider Donaire but a technician. He's no brawler, and he once boxed a challenger almost the whole fight Southpaw just because he felt like it.

Some people use the term "Technician" too loosely when a fighter elects to box, he's certainly very well rounded in all aspects of the game he can brawl, box and counterpunch, so does that make him a technician?

I think Donaire is very skilled and talented. However, I feel he gets sloppy and bored in fights, and event frustrated. I think Rigo will take advantage of this and take him out with a crisp counter.

This is what I'm afraid off, It could become a boring Match up! I hope rigo engage Donaire! Coz donaire will use his brain on this fight. He will not Play reckless. But Donaire has the Power to KO Rigo, And Rigo has the chin to match it! It could look like the Nishioka fight where rigo will play defensively the whole fight, then will get caught by a haymaker I got Donaire by rd 7 & up!

I dont think Donaire will get sloppy this fight.. He knows damn well he's gotta stay 100% sharp against a guy like Rigs.
