For all those that wanted to see Mayweather Vs Pac, you'd do yourself a favor and watch this fight.

Rigondeaux, undefeated 11-0 8 KOs, is a two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and is considered one of the greatest amateur fighters of all time. His skillset is off the chart. A textbook counterpuncher with "unparallelled technique haunting power." The big knock on Rigondeaux is his lack of consistent results. When asked about Donaire he said:

"I will shut that big-headed Filipino's mouth and I will unify my title."

Donaire, the Filipino Flash, is the younger version of pacman. Honestly with the victories that he has amassed, I am still not sure how he is not headlining PPV fights yet. Ever since his stunning KO of vic darchinyan in 2007, Donaire has been taking out fighter after fighter in impressive fashion. He can stop you on a dime.

I hate to overhype a fight, but these guys have supreme skill level, and I can't really see how this fight isn't going to be an instant classic.

Does that mean whoever wins this fight will fight Abner Mares next?

That would be ideal, but I'm not sure about it if Donaire wins it since Mares vs Donaire would be a SUPERFIGHT and would have to be a headline PPV affair.

Imagine Julio Jr vs. Ward as a co-headline to Donaire vs Mares (wow!) this would be a dream card.

Nope. Mares is GBP (exclusive Showtime) and Donaire is Top Rank (Exclusive HBO)

Who is everybody picking in this one?

I'm going with Rigondeaux for the upset.

"this has the potential to be great"

heard it sucks so far.

i'm JIP in the 7th round.

So basically, are they fighting on a stage, and the crowd is all one side.

edit. yes they are.

Rigondeaux is quick, the only round he lost was the one where he got knocked down.. Should be an easy win for Rigondeaux.

Rigondeaux has Mayweather skill level. He may even be better than Mayweather in terms of accuracy of punches. This was truly a coming out party of Rigondeaux. The guy is unreal.

It be better for Donaire to move up in weight, the guy has the power.

Props to Rigo, Donaire underestimated his counter punching prowess.

In a battle of counter punchers, there can only be one aggressor.

Too bad for Donaire that he let himself get drawn into Rigo's game.
