By Chris Williams: If Nonito Donaire wants a chance to avenge his loss to WBA/WBO super bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux in 2014, then he’s going to need to agree to a rehydration limit of 135 lbs. Rigondeaux is willing to come up and fight Donaire in his own weight class at featherweight, but he doesn’t agree to be fighting a light welterweight Donaire with him weighing in excess of 135 lbs.
Rigondeaux is willing to let Donaire rehydrate from the featherweight limit of 126 all the way to the lightweight upper limit at 135. That’s 9 pounds that Rigondeaux is willing to give Donaire, but he doesn’t want to fight Donaire if he rehydrates into the light welterweight division at over 135. That’s too much weight for Rigondeaux, who fights right at 122 lbs. He doesn’t rehydrate into the 130s and definitely not in the 140s.
By Chris Williams: WBA/WBO super bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux (12-0, 8 KO’s) isn’t going to let Nonito Donaire (31-2, 21 KO’s) off the hook after hearing Donaire say on HBO last Saturday night that he wants to face Rigondeaux next. It made for a good sound bite at the time, but then Donaire’s promoter Bob Arum quickly revealed two days later that he has plans for Donaire to face WBA featherweight champion Nicholas Walters next for his title. 
By Alon Calinao Dy: WBA/WBO super bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux (12-0, 8KOs) was not impressed by the performance of the Filipino boxer icon Nonito Donaire, Jr. the other night.
By Chris Williams: Former WBO super bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire (31-2, 20 KO’s) badly wants a rematch against WBA/WBO super bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux (12-0, 8 KO’s) next if his promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank will make that fight. 
By Chris Williams: Former two division world champion Nonito Donaire is recovering from his shoulder surgery that was performed last Friday to repair torn ligaments in his right shoulder. Donaire is saying that the surgery on his right shoulder was a success and that he should heal up fine and be back in the ring shortly.
By Chris Williams: WBO featherweight champion Mikey Garcia thinks that former WBO super bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire (31-2, 20 KO’s) merely had an off night in getting beaten soundly by WBA super bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux last Saturday night in New York. 
By Alex Aviles: Last Saturday night Cuban Olympic gold medalist Guillermo Rigondeaux defeated Filipino star Nonito Donaire in convincing fashion. Post-fight there was talk among the boxing community about how the fight played out on an entertainment scale. Some fans considered it a good (albeit not great) fight. While some just considered it flat out boring. 
By Chris Williams: Nonito Donaire’s wife Rachel say that he could be back in the fall, but not at super bantamweight. He’ll be moving up to 126 to fight in the featherweight division following his 12 round unanimous decision loss to WBA super bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux last Saturday night. Rachel told ESPN that he struggled badly to get down from the 130s during training camp for the fight. I have a feeling that 126 might not be a weight that he can make either without struggle. 
By Chris Williams: Former WBO super bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire (31-2, 20 KO’s) may have been beaten soundly by WBA super bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux (12-0, 8 KO’s) last Saturday night in New York, but at least Donaire can say he beat Rigondeaux in their stare downs in the week of the fight.
By Chris Williams: Kevin Cunningham, the trainer for IBF welterweight champion Devon Alexander, was mesmerized by the incredibly impressive performance by WBA super bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux (12-0, 8 KO’s) last Saturday night in him defeating the heavily hyped WBO super bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire (31-2, 20 KO’s) and making him look like a rank amateur in beating him by what should have been a lopsided 12 round unanimous decision.
