On paper, this is one of the most intriguing matchups that can be made in the sport of boxing and one that fight fans can’t wait to watch. Donaire and Rigondeaux are likely to engage in a high-intensity bout that warrants the big stage of Radio City Music Hall. Nonito Donaire comes into the bout as one of the hottest fighters in boxing. In 2012, he was named RingTV.com’s Fighter of the Year, dominantly defeating four high-caliber opponents. Donaire is also backed by one of the best trainers in boxing, Robert Garcia.
