In the Marroquin fight he got caught twice because he was careless. One was a left hook over a lazy jab and the second time he was in the corner dancing around with his hands down. If he tries to get cute and dance around with his hands down against Donaire than he deserves to get knocked out.

Originally posted by PBP View PostHe's a southpaw but he fights with his elbow across his body and protects himself well with his shoulder, elbow and his forearm. That makes it very difficult for his opponents to land on him. Plus he has a good sense of distance and stays out of range and he can use his footwork and reflexes to keep himself out of harm's way. People like to criticize his chin but often forget that he's a very solid defensive fighter. Through 11 fights people only identify two punches that shook him up a little.

you call it carelessness , but imo , it's more of a habit than anything ...it has been the most obvious flaw IMO besides the chin...
