How will Mexicans take to Donaire

I like Donaire. Because he has plenty of skills. And cause he's funny also

I was in Mexico for the Nonito-Kochulito fight and everyone I watched the fight with knew of Nonito's skills and speed. They were rooting for Montiel but knew he had a difficult fight in front of him. I think Mexican fans are beyond just rooting for brawlers. They have been boxing fans for a long time and can appreciate different styles. The only thing they can't stand are guys who hold on the inside and prevent the fight from having any action. Theyre not big on PBF because he's had some terribly boring fights in the past few years but hee could win them over if he keeps fighting the way he did against Mosley. Mexicans actually aren't as blindly biased as some of us make us out to be.

I like Nonito alot, the way he knoked out Vic and Montiel was impressive made me a fan.

I cant speak for all Mexicans but in my family, we love to watch Donaire. He is an amazing boxer. He has power,speed,footwork,ring IQ and is a nice guy who seems humble and respectful. Plus no to mention that they guy has been KO'ing everyone hes been fighting endears him to Mexicans because we love to see a good scrap or someone getting laid out. Just because hes beaten some good Mexican fighters doesnt mean we wont like him. Sure, I was rooting for Montiel because I ride with my people Just as much as the next person but when Donaire starched him, I was like "damn, this kid is good" and Ive always enjoyed watching Donaire even before the Montiel KO. Like everyone else, I fell in love with his skill set after watching him destroy Vic Darchynian.

Just like N*SYNC were really all friends before they became a band...It is just fanservice in an attempt to endear Donaire more to the Philippines...maybe it is true, I just doubt it. It seems like they will believe anything Pacquiao or his people will say over there, so if they make up cute heartwarming stories about Donaire it can only help with building him a larger following. well it doesn't seem to far-fetched of a story. donaire did grow up in the same area as pacquiao and buboy. plus donaire himself confirms that the story is true...so i don't know what else to say. if you'd rather think it's all one big conspiracy then go right ahead.

As it looks like right now 2 of the top 3 P4P in the world are Filipino. When Pacquiao was coming up he was beating alot of Mexicans at the lower weight classes however it seemed like Mexicans warmed up to him and he developed a Mexican fanbase because of his style. Donaire looks poised to go through the same path. His style however is different, it's more of a pure slick boxer style and not the brawling type of style that Mexican fans generally favor. Do you think he will get the same love from Mexican fans fighting the way he fights? Because honestly right now he doesn't seem to get the same type of love from some of the Filipino fans I know. They say he's not exciting doesn't have power like Pacquiao. I'm thinking in my head do these people actually know boxing? They seem to think that if a person doesn't throw 300 punches a round he's not exciting. It's almost like you asked one question, just to talk about something else? Gino, that you? Are we really starting these threads again? an ALT telling us Filipinos don't like Donaire because he's slick, is there an agenda to these posts?

Just like how Pacquiao was sleeping on bales of hay eating a bowl of rice a day and had no amateur experience...even though he had a 60-4 amateur record while his room and board was paid for by the national amateur team. i don't know what that has to do with donaire, but okay. lol. if you're trying to say that buboy never protected donaire and that's a lie then watch this video..

Donaire is more of an American than he is a Filipino...and if anyone doesn't like Donaire's style, they just don't like boxing. Pretty much..

he's about as american as oscar dela hoya except he doesn't (to my knowledge) carry an american flag with him into the ring or wear it on his trunks. also the fact that oscar was born in the u.s. and donaire was born and grew up for a bit in the philippines...there's a story about how i think buboy helped protect donaire because he was being bullied in school. but yeah donaire is an filipino-american, but he seems to be more vocal about his filipino heritage.

well he doesn't call himself the "american flash" lol... he's about as american as oscar dela hoya

Donaire is more of an American than he is a Filipino...and if anyone doesn't like Donaire's style, they just don't like boxing. well he doesn't call himself the "american flash" lol...

yes...and Brian Viloria kicked his ass first time i watched this. viloria needs to rack up a few more good wins and rematch donaire. id watch it.

Donaire is more of an American than he is a Filipino...and if anyone doesn't like Donaire's style, they just don't like boxing. didn't donaire try out for the US olympic team?

Honestly when it's a Pac fight...my house is packed with Filipino friends...When I tell them Nonito is fighting I get like 3 people over my house Lolz..I just don't think they will warm to his style..Is it because they don't understand it? They actually see to see him as a threat to Pacquiao. I understand it. I would LOVE to have my ethnicity represent 2 of the 3 top p4p in the world.

Any hardcore boxing enthusiast, no matter what race, will love Donaire's style. He's slick, he's got power, he's not afraid to mix it up and he's willing to fight the best in whatever division he's in...
