another bad stoppage

Not nearly as bad a stoppage as the Dirrell fight because Mthalane was starting to slow and Donaire was surging but it was an overall flat performance by Donaire. It might have had something to do with Donaire's 10 month layoff, maybe he was looking past Mthalane to Arce, who knows. Anyways, the cut was pretty bad and eventually would have needed to be stopped. I guess the ref thought Mthalane wasn't going to pull it out so why risk it. Donaire looked good in the first two rounds but Mthalane was beating him to the punch the next 4.. Donaires confidence level looked like it was dropping he looked as if he was trying anything to confuse Mthalane like switching stances while his face was getting marked up bad. Mthalane threw less and landed more. I wonder what would have happened if the fight wasnt stopped over a cut that couldnt be seen...

the direll stoppage was terrible also ...4 some reason i see victor comin back in that fight 2 hurt dirrell

Good fight.. Mthalane looks hungry for the win... A good win for nonito..

A cut on thr eyelid is very serious.* You can feel for yourself how thin the skin is there.* There was no other choice. Unless you box or have encountered boxers on a regular basis as to care for their safety can you really understand what they go through, especially with a cut. There are fans who think Vitali was stopped prematurely against Lewis. I'm being serious there.

Donaire so fast the camera didn't catch him going to the backstage, grabbing some scissors (not before he took off his own gloves) went back to his opponent, lifted his eye lid, made a slit, went backstage again, put his gloves back on, and came back to the ring in south paw position. Can't believe you didn't catch that! Lol, I guess they don't call him "The Flash" for nothing. Nice avatar btw, I love HnI. Anyway, Nonito showed he was the better fighter, but it seemed like the tide of the fight was changing. Mithalane was like a tank, and just kept coming forward.

Donaire looked rusty, but how did he get cut inside his eyelid?

The ring doctor stopped the fight.

watching the donaire fight on a bad quality stream but it looks like a bad stoppage...

The announcer said a severe laceration over the eye of the challenger. Donaire win by TKO.
