BoxingScene.com caught up to WBO junior featherweight champion Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. (20-0, 17KOs) to get his thoughts on Nonito Donaire's two round destruction of Fernando Montiel at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
When BoxingScene asked Vazquez if he would like to face Donaire (26-1, 18KOs), the WBC/WBO bantamweight champion, after his scheduled May fight with Jorge Arce, the Puerto Rican replied - "let's do it. All they have to do is call my manager and make a good offer. If the offer is right I would love to fight him. He's a great fighter."
Vazquez feels that Montiel stylistically fought the wrong fight and that is why he suffered the early knockout loss. "Montiel was looking to land one big punch. He didn't try to put his punches together. He wasn't watching out for the left hand and he paid for it."
Vazquez finished up our conversation by saying a fight between Donaire and himself would be a fan friendly fight and that he wouldn't make the same mistakes as Montiel.
