This Saturday at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, Nonito 'Filipino Flash' Donaire puts his JR Featherweight World Championship on the line versus WBA Super Bantamweight Champion, Guillermo 'El Chacal' Rigondeaux. It will be a battle of champion versus champion in a unification bout with Nonito being the more accomplished fighter being on the top 5 pound for pound fighters list over the last few years. Rigondeaux has far less experience in the professional circuit, although he has built a very impressive amateur career including being a two-time Olympic Gold Medalist for Cuba.There have been talks by both fighters on how they will be aggressive pushing the action to one another. Especially Donaire, since his last fight in New York was a snoozer, thanks to Argentina's Omar Navarette's plan not to mix it up with the champ. So Donaire wants to make it up by taking his aggression out on Rigondeaux on Saturday night. Rigondeaux also plans on making a statement, trying to prove that although he has only 11 professional fights, that he belongs with the elite fighters in the game. Hopefully the last couple of Top Rank Main Events have inspired these two fighters to put on a show for the fans. It will be interesting to see if Rigondeaux indeed mixes it up with Donaire. Also to see if Rigondeaux can take a 'Filipino Flash' assault, especially the blinding left hook of Donaire. Once again, Nonito is far more seasoned fighting and taking out world class fighters to become one of the pound for pound best. This will truly be a test for Rigondeaux to see if he belongs in the upper echelon of supreme fighters. That test will come this Saturday as Donaire and Rigondeax will put up, or shut up as they will try to unify their titles at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
Donaire v Rigondeax will be televised by HBO's 'World Championship Boxing' at 8pm PST.
Noez Prediction:
Donaire Wins by Majority Decision
