IMO, it's not really a huge fight, although Gaballo is younger and undefeated the quality of opponent Donaire beat is higher than what Gaballo had beaten, it's a big test for Gaballo but for Donaire, it should be an ordinary day in the office comes the day of the fight.

While I agree that Donaire is without a doubt the best of the two and this must be reflected in the odds about who should win the fight, at the same time I do not think it is healthy for him to have the attitude that since he has beaten better fighters in the past then he's going to beat his current opponent with ease and that there is nothing to worry about, we have seen that attitude many times in the past and it never ends well, boxers need to take seriously their opponents because only one punch is needed to change the outcome of any fight.

Of course, Donaire will take it seriously as he can't afford to lose the opportunity to have a rematch against Inoue, if he loses, I doubt Inoue would still give him a rematch when he doesn't have the belt anymore, it will be Casimero vs Inoue if Casimero would be successful in defending his belt.

I really hope this is the case, more than anything as a fan of boxing I want to see the best fighting each other, I understand that they want to make money when they obtain the belt so it is natural they avoid each other for some time before they actually clash, and if Gaballo happens to win then it is obvious he is not going to want to expose his title so soon against Casimero or Inoue, so I prefer that Donaire wins so we can see those fights at the soonest.

We all want to see him win, but we never know what would be the outcome of the fight, Gaballo will also try to train harder as this is the biggest fighter of his career and he understands how important this fight is to realize his dream in the future. Gaballo is still young at 25 years old, there's a lot of fight for him in his career, but this moment is very important, he also can't afford to lose this just like what Donaire thinks.

Remember that upset do happen, so let's just hope it will not happen in this particular fight.
