is it true? Nonito "The Lucky Punch" Donaire?

[LilGizmo562]

Too bad nobody wants to fight him.
High risk,low reward.
He reminds me of Juan Manuel Marquez back in the day when evryone was avoiding him.

It would be ashamed if like Marquez, he begins to get all the big fights around the end of his career. :[

Lucky Punch or Power Punch?

If you're talking about the darchinyan fight then I highly suggest you watch the fight again. Donaire was dominated vic in every aspect of the fight. It was only obvious that a ko was coming. Even the showtime announcers were pointing out how vic is constantly jumping in and getting caught with the hook and he's going to pay for it, don't believe me? go watch the fight. It's very obvious you haven't seen the fight. Anyone that isn't blind would tell you that vic was helpless in the ring against donaire. **** one judge had vic losing every round! Vic is very wild and this will happen to him every time he fights someone with boxing skill. I would suggest that vic stay away from vasquez and marquez.

Of course it's not a lucky punch. All you need to do is watch the tape and you can see that Donaire had very obviously studied Vic and had seen that exact punch he was always open for. As he gets someone against the ropes he lunges in and drops his right hand and pulls his left so far back for his big super left KO punch it leaves his entire head perfectly open for a counter left. All he needed to do was time it well and keep himself from getting hit by the left which he did by bringing up his right glove. It's most definitely not a lucky punch, anyone that thinks so is mad.

Lucky Punch or Power Punch?

Power punch and it would happen again. If you watch Darchinyan fight even now, he is wide open for that left hook. Darchinyan is too proud to keep the fight technical. he gets into brawler mode once he is attacked. I personally like that about him but that style is taylor made for an opponent with a decent counter punch.

if a rematch happens then its 7/7/07 again, maybe nonito wil switch to southpaw for vic to even things a bit

yeah similar to that flamenco dude in tyson's punchout, but he uses his right instead

No lucky punches boxing, just unlucky targets.

[the330ballers]

power punch hes kd'd all of his opponents except for mthlane which he won by TKO on cuts

Power Punch..

As stated by BennyST and kswizzy99, it was a perfectly timed left hook that dropped Vic for the count and Donaire was outclassing him the whole 5 rounds..

Only Donaire haters or idiots will say it was a lucky punch..
