As of this moment, the April 13 clash at Radio City Music Hall between WBO junior featherweight champ Nonito Donaire and WBA junior feather champ Guillermo Rigondeaux is on, but fans of boxing know that in the sport known as the "theater of the unexpected," the best-laid plans can go off the rails. That almost happened on Thursday, as a press conference at BB King's in Manhattan almost got cancelled before it kicked off. Rigondeaux's team showed up and said that they wanted the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) to do PED testing for the fight, instead of the Volunary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA), which is the body favored by Donaire, an adamant ant-doping advocate.
