Good puncher power, decent hand speed, aggressive and come forward fighter.

So it this is a tailor made fight for Donaire, as we all know that he can adapt to his opponent. In this case he will be countering with his left hook and then overhand right and I think Donaire can hold his chin against Rodriguez

So another boxer is down with the virus, at least they have find a replacement on Rodriguez which is also a tougher match for Donaire since we all know that Donaire is slowly ageing already. And Rodriguez' only lost came from the hands of Inoue. Looking at his boxrec here: https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/614887, seems a decent fighter. But I think with Donaire's experience, he can beat Rodriguez by decision or by another highlight knockout, his left hook.

The odds will favour Donaire here, I guess. And let's hope, no one will contract the virus just before the fight. Seems that sportsbookies haven't picked this match yet. This will be the comeback of Donaire if he will win this match.

Yeah, Donaire has the reach advantage and also experience base, a reason for him to likely win this fight. But can't just ignore that his opponent is also a champion and tough guy, he'll be not overly confident that he won this match instead, to keep his mind think that this person can beat him.

I also put a bet on Donaire but if ever he will face again to Inoue, I'm not sure but probably he loses again.

Wait, I thought that was a different fighter, this particular fight is between Donaire and Nordine Oubaali.

This is his opponent, https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/680900...  shorter than him with only 5′ 3½ in height which I think would struggle against Donaire.

[Kemarit]

@status - please back read, Oubaali can't make the fight with Donaire that's why Rodriguez is the replacement fighter now. 

@Jating - Rodriguez is vulnerable to left hook and over hand right, so that's a good call. It was the left hook that put him down against Inoue, although might not be powerful as Inoue, but Donaire's left hook is one of the best in the business and it still pack with power.

Im still rooting for Donaire on this one.He had still some fire with those counter hooks.

Regardless of who Nonito Donaire face though in the bamtamweight division not name Naoya Inoue, he will have the advantage and 90% I would say, he can beat them.

It's just sad to hear that another fighter succumb to Covid-19 as it will definitely have a financial effect to the boxer himself as he may lost a good paycheck here. Nevertheless, the fight will continue, move the date and this will be an exciting fight but for sure The Filipino Flash will be the favourite here, no doubt.

I agree Donaire is the only fighter that exposed and hurt Naoya Inoue, he still has a good boxing days left in him, he can beat this guy Rodriguez if he has a the same form that we saw in his fight against Inoue, still has that footwork that deadly left hook, I'm on Donaire on this fight, but I'm sure Rodriguez will pose a big challenge against Nonito.

Expect that for sure, it's not an easy catch as Rodriguez will also try his best since it's he's good opportunities to make his break into
this sport, Donaire have established a good name and if Rodriguez upset him the chance that he will get more big fights after, but for
now he needs to work it out trying to accomplished before stepping to another one.

With such high chance odd will be interesting, Donaire also needs this break to bring his name on top. He's not that old and with this
remaining fight for him, taking this opportunities to add from his achievements will be a good motivation for him.

Though I'm a fan of Nonito Donaire, I am having doubt if he could win again at this time of his career. Father time is catching him and we all know that age is really a factor in boxing, with the exception of Manny Pacquaio of course. If they will release the odds and if the odds on betting on Rodriguez is tempting, I think I would go for it.

[stadus]

@status - please back read, Oubaali can't make the fight with Donaire that's why Rodriguez is the replacement fighter now. 

Sorry about that, I wasn't aware, I think OP should have edited this thread. By the way it's @stadus, not status, lol.

I have to check on his opponent yet, but if it's better than Oubaali then I guess we will see a great fight ahead.

A boxer is judge based on how he performed on his last fight, and Donito's last fight against Inoue shows that he still has it, he is the first boxer to get Inoue in trouble and the first to give him a cut, he is performing really well and there were rounds where he totally dominate Inoue.
If he can come out with a performance like that he can outbox and beat Rodriguez and besides he will just turn 38, some boxers can still keep up at 38.

Nonita Donaire is not getting any younger, he was ahead against his fight with Inoue but he could not keep his energy so the young guy beat him in the later rounds, his opponent now is younger than him, at 28 years old I think Donaire will have some trouble, 37 years old vs 28 years old, I'm liking his opponent here but I would only bet if he is the underdog.

Lol not Nonita nor Donito it's Nonito Donaire, thank me later. Though being young is a good thing in terms of stamina but having experience I think is an ace card for a player as well. I think Nonito is still in shape to fight a young gun like Rodriguez and I don't think just because the other one is younger and his opponent is older it's always on the odd of the younger one, it's pure speculation but in this fight I am for sure vouching with my fellow countrymen Donaire.

I would be favoring Nonito Donaire in this match.
I dont think age will matter much in this match but he has been performing better in the past matches.

haha, sorry mate, it's a typo error, I'm kinda loss my focus when I'm logging in the forum drunk

I know he is still in shape but what I saw on his Inoue fight was not the same young Nonito, he still has that good counter punching but if he was still younger and stronger, he could have already knock out Inoue on that fight and will not allow himself to gas out int he end.

[mirakal]

I understand, in gambling, we don't use our heart all the time, so even if Nonito is a Filipino fighter, not necessarily you will side on him if you see the other fighter having an advantage, nice job and good luck, it's still a long wait though.

You cant tell people on what they should gonna do because there are really gamblers who do really bet their countrymen or as a solid fan no matter what the odds or chances it does have.

But in talks of reality if we do really aim for profit or win then its always been wise to stick out into the fighter on whom you do see that has the advantage no matter how fan you are on the
other fighter or boxer but still you would make bet into the other side because you do know that it will really had that chance.

In recent change of fighter where Donaire will fight Rodriguez then i do see that Donaire does have the edge on power and counter but he shouldnt take to easy with Rodriguez
yet even on disadvantage he had that firepower.

NonitonDonairenhave improve a lot in each match he played, though we can't totally say that he will win in these fight but it's no doubt that many Filipinos will support him and bet with him like how it was when its Pacquio's match. Nonito have his own advantage same with Nordine hopefully both will be fine before their fight.

Correct, a fighter is good as his last fight. So based on that, Nonito really gave us a good performance although he feel short, he has done so much damage on Inoue that he broke Inoue's orbital bone. So he can still crack any boxers on this division. And this is a good stylistic match up for Donaire, and he will perform better and could probably win by knock out, I reckon.

If you are into sports betting you will see who is at the advantages and you will likely bet for him, if you are a long time fan and he is fighting a fighter that is better than him, you will be more realistic by picking the better fighter, but deep in your heart you wish that the boxer you idolize will come out a better fighter, I still believe that Nonito will show the skill and the toughness that he displayed on his match against Inoue.

The title should change to Donaire - Rodriguez since Oubaali is out of the picture.
