This is something super.
Two of boxing's greatest talents will lock horns later tonight (Sat., April 13, 2013) inside Radio City Music Hall in New York, N.Y., when the "Filipino Flash," Nonito Donaire, takes on two-time Olympic gold medalist and amateur legend Guillermo Rigondeaux in a 122-pound battle to determine the top Super Bantamweight boxer on the planet.
MMAmania will have LIVE coverage of the bout, starting with the HBO broadcast at 11 p.m. ET.
Since moving up to 122 pounds after an impressive run at Bantamweight, Donaire has been on the warpath, taking out the likes of Toshiaki Nishioka and Jorge Arce in his impressive undefeated (4-0) 2012 run. The owner of 2011's "Knockout of the Year" against Fernando Montiel, he has not tasted defeat since his second pro fight, nor gone more than three fights without scoring a knockout.
"El Chacal," meanwhile, has been similarly destructive, dropping or finishing every opponent he has faced in his 11-fight pro career. Prior to his debut, Rigondeaux amassed one of the most impressive amateur records in history, scoring more than 400 victories and just 12 losses and winning gold in both 2000 and 2004.
Both the WBA and WBO belts, respectively held by Rigondeaux and Donaire, will be on the line in what will most likely be a very entertaining title unification match.
