I wish HBO would realize that we are more interested in seeing great fighters in great match-ups, not great fighters like Donaire and Martinez fighting dudes who aren't even close to their level. These public exhibitions need to stop. Showtime is doing it right.
I actually think it's the opposite, that this is a tough fight stylistically for Donaire against a very experienced, awkward fighter that he won't get credit for because he's smaller and not known in America.
