Weight problems aside, I just get a bad feeling about the fight period and I don't like this match-up at all.
Just rewatched the Arce fight and Vasquez will not want his father to throw in the towel again..
except this is against the hard hitting Donaire.. I just can't see Nonito losing this and hope no one gets badly hurt.
"worried"? who is worried for a grown man who doesn't even know you? im sorry but if you say you are genuinly worried, you are a liar. you don't even know him k?
If a guy dies in the ring then I shouldnt feel nothing cos i never met him?
what about that ladyboy u met online?
Im more concerned for the body shots Vazquez will land on Donaire's skinny frame. This fight will show us that Donaire is another hype-job like Sonsona was, and getting exposed by the same man.
Donaire isn't a teenager like Sonsona moving up two weight divisions.

I think this is a legit fight. Its a tough fight for Vazquez no doubt about it, but he still is a good fighter. IMO people put too much emphasis on the Arce loss. He showed flaws in that fight, but he showed a ton of heart and that he could dish out and take punishment. I thought Vazquez was winning that fight. He took to much punishment in the first 3 rounds, but was able to adjust and start taking control of the fight. Fatigue caught up with him and Arce was able to catch a 2nd wind and then they threw in the towel. It was a great fight and he was in it all the way and there is no shame in that. His in experience cost him the fight IMO. Hopefully that fight was a learning experience and will make him better as a boxer. Its hard to say.
I have few doubt about Donaire's skills and power but I think he is overrated. Maybe I'm wrong. But Donaire has had a tremendous size advantage against everyone he has fought. He will finally be in the ring with someone that is equal in size and will be punching harder then anyone he has been in the ring with. On that note it could be argued that Donaire is the biggest puncher Vazquez has faced too. Its hard for me to call because I have my doubts about both fighters. I understand why people think Nonito will blow threw Jr because he has looked so impressive before.
I don't think he will get badly hurt he is still young and fresh even though the Arce fight was tough it is not like he has a whole career of fights like that.
It certainly may not be pretty for Vazquez though.
Yeah...this fight definitely has the potential for some highlight reel stuff for Donaire. Wilfredo already keeps his lands low, and reaches on shot I think he is going to get timed with flush shots badly if he starts too aggresively.....maybe he should try to sit back and wait as long as possible to throw down because Donaire has shown to be reluctant in initiating action if a guy goes 100% defense. he has to keep his hands UP as much possible early but I dont think he will. so he will be a target at all times
Wilfredo is pretty tough and I'm sure will be hungry to win, but this could be mayweather/gatti like. donaire has had some sick combinations and great ko's when he sees that he can dominate and do whatever he wants...even though his sometimes caused nonito to make some fights last longer than they should...he is probably looking to make a statement in this one after the fight with navarez

It's a tough fight. Some people think Donaire is a hype-job. I don't. "The Filipino Flash" is being built up as another cash-cow, but that doesn't mean he's not for real. Wilfredo is not a pushover, but he was chosen for a reason: because they think Nonito can handle him. WV2 is going to leave it all in the ring. There's no way he's going to want to lose two in a row. Yes, that might get him hurt.
