Frampton needs to get seriously outboxed. Donaire at his best was a great puncher and ridiculously accurate but his boxing was average. At this point he isn't that accurate and he doesn't outweigh his opponents that much so I don't know how he is supposed to win.
Donaire post Rigo is not the fighter we came to know when he looked great, just has never been able to consistently win/look good against solid comp since.
Even with Frampton looking all kinds of average in his last fight, it would be tough to see. Frampton has never showed to have a particularly bad chin, and I don't think Donaire has the boxing ability or workrate to beat Frampton over 12 on the cards at this point in his career.
Oh, my heart certainly does, but my mind knows better. Donaire has the puncher's chance, but Frampton can box from the outside pretty well against larger guys so he should - if he sticks to the script - box him up.
