I waited until the end of Rigondeaux and Donaire's press conference to approach him with a couple questions. Before I had a chance to ask them Rigondeaux caught me in the corner of his eye approaching and ambushed me with a hug. "How long have you been following me now?!"
So I asked him, "At your lowest point back in Cuba did you ever think you'd really get here today, with this opportunity, to have a chance at your dream?"
I won't even try to describe the smile he offered. His reply was this, "You better be here April 13th."
What a day to see after first meeting him 6 years ago, at the worst point in his life back in Havana.

I just read about your Rigondeaux film courtesy of Dougie's Monday Mailbag at ringtv.com.
I hope you do a screening in San Francisco when it is completed.
Personally, I'm picking Donaire in the fight, however.
The fight is at Radio City Music Hall April 13th.
I understand tickets are available starting tomorrow.
Donaire certainly is the favorite in the fight. He's a tremendous challenge for Rigo.
