montiel going down like a clown!!
montiel/donaire is a tossup... i dont see hasegawa beating montiel in a rematch or even donaire
Can't count him out. Hozumi may correct a few things and get better.
He had succes against Montiel until he decided he wanted to engage. Who knows, he could just outbox Montiel for 12. It seemed to be working the first 3 rounds.
I don't care if Hozumi beats Montiel by split, unanimous, dq, kayo. As long as he gets that revenge.
This is one of the best fights that can be made in Boxing, 2 top 10 P4P guys who ain't going to fight a boring fight.
Please make this happen.
Gotta go with Montiel since he just beat the Bantamweight Champion of the world.
Donaire is in love with his power right now, so he will bang with Montiel no doubt.
I like Nonito, however..... Montiel has to win. I won't be satisfied until Montiel get X'd out by Hozumi in the rematch.
i think i'll favor donaire. he's more elusive than hozumi. his footwork and use of angles, as well as his ability to punch off them with power, makes it difficult for any fighter to get within range without paying a price.
given montiel's short arms he'll have to try to get inside, or bull rush to land his hook.
overall though i think it'd be a fairly boring fight since both are smart, skilled speedy counter punchers.
donaire by close, boring UD.
