    I predict a draw since neither would land a punch

    Rigo probably did start boxing in the 80s so that gives him a chance

    Sanchez PREFERRED Counterpunching, but it Usually Didn't Take Looooooooooong for him to PURSUE Foes that Didn't Look to Engage...

    Rigondeaux WOULD Lure Sanchez Into Leading, Definitely, Which WOULDN'T Be Good for Sal, the Vast Majority of Rounds...But Having Absorbed the Blows of "Little Red" Lopez, Wilfredo Gomez and Juan LaPorte (Who were All Naturally BIGGER Men & Elite Punchers for their Weight Classes), REED Can't See Rigondeaux Landing Anything HARDER than they Did...

    It's Conceivable Rigondeaux Outpoints Sanchez Over 12, yet it's Hard for REED to Imagine Dude Lasting a FULL 15 w/Out Being Compromised @ Some Point, by Sanchez's Skill, Size and Chin...

    Agreed. I think Sal gets him out whilst behind on the cards. Sanchez was so much more skilled and versatile than Donaire that its not even funny. And yes, he had one of the best chins of all time and would impose himself on Rigo late whilst being willing to take some big counters to get to him.
