I though it was already final that they will fight on December 11, but I have to check it myself after you said there's no specific schedule yet, and I'm surprised It really has no scheduled date for it yet. It's a mandatory fight, there should have a schedule released already.
Right but sometimes the exact schedule for that weight class matches are being announced at least a month before. We should expect an announcement of the final date next month as it was supposed to be unless there's some problem and issues along the way.
If they will go with this kind of flow, fans will surely be entertained, but the risk is really high since Donaire has that counter left hook, which mostly gives him the momentum to win.
Gaballo hasn't fought yet a boxer that is good on counter attacking. Donaire will be his toughest fight and a big test for him. Donaire's experience is also a big advantage as he already faces almost all types of boxing styles. It's easy to form a strategy to counter Doinare but it's hard to do it in actual.
