Donaire will put a one sided beating on Rigo, Mares would outwork him.

Rigo has all the talent in the world, but he is ultra negative and has a dodgy beard.

 

[w;dkm ckeqfjq c]

I think Donaire, Mares and Santa Cruz all stop him.

Yeah but other than Donaire and Mares as I said, you think Santa Cruz is the only other person with the ability to do it? I think Cruz is a bit green to be honest.

yea none of them. Only seen a few of Rigo's fights and he's looked either sensational or maybe a bit lackluster. I think Mares can beat him depending of which version turns up

Do you think if there was a good ref who didn't allow Mares to be dirty he'd be as affective?

:sad2

None of them really, although opinions will obviously change after the Donaire fight depending on how many clean left hooks he can take since as the unanswered question seems to be on his chin. I'm expecting not too many but if he can take them well and come away with the win then he's gotta be favored against them all. I think whilst Mares poses different questions than Donaire he will ultimately be opened up to big counters

Yeah, that's what is so amazing about this fight. It answers so many questions. Even if Rigo gets KO'd in 1 round I'll be content with what I learn from it.

Mares and Donaire would stop him, Santa Cruz is a little too green but I would he very interested in that fight as long as SC continues to improve.

Who does it easier in your opinion? Do you see them outbrawling him? Do you think there is anybody around the division who can technically outbox him?

Frampton would be an interesting fight, I don't think Quigg would be remotely prepared for Rigo though, hasn't seen anything like him.

Darchinyan would be a fun fight just to see how many times Vic would hit the canvas, and whether or not he could muster up that one big shot.

Do you think Rigo could stop Darchinyan?

He'd school Santa Cruz right now, who I do like but is way too one-dimensional IMO. Can't see him getting to Rigo often enough to wear him down much.

:good

Just going to put this question forwards:

WOULD ANYBODY TECHNICALLY OUTBOX RIGONDEAUX OR WOULD THEY ALL OUTBRAWL HIM?

Donaire will, no doubt about it IMO. Rigo holds no real advantages in this fight, you can say speed, yeah but Nonito's excellent timing will negate it.

Donaire could outbox him or counter off the front foot and out a beating on Rig.

I'd say a massive advantage for Rigo is patience. Donaire loves to please the crowd and look for one big knock out punch. I see Rigo taking advantage of that a lot. I'm not certain he wins it. He has a big shot in my opinion. If you're so certain he dominates him I think you'll be surprised.

 

[Nyanners :sad5]

Do you think Rigo could stop Darchinyan?

Would be a matter of when, not if, imo.

 

[Vano-irons]

Donaire stops him.

Mares gets in the insight to negate the speed and goes to work to the body. He doesn't hit that hard so I don't think a stoppage would come, but I'd fancy him strongly on points.

Give Santa Cruz a bit of time and I'll re-evaluate. As of now, Rigo UD

I think the Donaire fight will be a very cagey affair with neither man really outboxing the other but just negating each others offence, until Donaire lands a big shot

 

[Chatty]

I think Donaire will ruin Rigo, awful fight for him imo, Donaires power will be to much and he pick his shots too well to not land. Rigo also looks like his chin is a but shaky and isn't exactly a runner so he'll end up trading at somepoint.

 

[w;dkm ckeqfjq c]

Would be a matter of when, not if, imo.

Interesting that. So if he gets KO'd by Donaire this would be a perfect come back fight for him? He could be the second person to stop Vic and if he looked more impressive than Donaire did against him his value would rise after the drop that being KO'd would bring.

See, that's what I'm wondering about Mares. He's wild and leaves himself open to be countered a lot. I can see Rigo smashing him up as he tries to get inside.

I think it'll be quite cagy with little action for a few rounds, but that's where we see it different. You see Donaire landing that big shot, I see him over reaching and swinging wildly for it, getting countered for his troubles.

Not sure he'll trade in a traditional sense. He doesn't really trade. The only time he looks like he's willing to take a punch to land one is a very clever move he has where he stands on the inside and when he see's something he can't get out out the way of he loops a hook around it. He dropped Kennedy with it and I've seen him land it on a few people. Other than that, I don't see him trading much.

I expect Rigo to become more of a Guzman like figure, not fight so often, and being very selective with his opponents. Whether Darchinyan will be around that much longer, I dunno.

You could say that but he fought 3 times in 2012 and was scheduled for a 4th before kratingaengym got aids.

 

[JamieC]

Why are people so hot on Mares beating Rigo? He's a great fighter no doubt, but Rigo took him to school in the ams, and although it's two different sports etc, what exactly has changed to make people think Mares can just hustle his way inside now? I just think his style suits Rigo more than the other way around. The way to beat Rigo is like Donaire in my opinion, explosive and unorthodox boxing

 

[Michael]

No one but Donaire imo, as we shall see in a couple of weeks.
