Simpiwe Vetyeka vs Nonito Donaire RBR & Discussion Thread

How about Gonzales vs. Walters? A fight between two hard hitting FWs.

He used his head he was in a tough fight and turned it in...i understand but he just seems so uncredible to me too many excuses

Ehhh... dunno how I feel. "I think if Pacquiao's fight ends up here, why wouldn***8217;t we add that to the card in addition to Zou Shiming***8217;s title fight plus another fight. It***8217;d be one of the greatest cards that they***8217;re not going to top for years, no matter what happens with boxing in Asia,***8221; said Arum.

The cut looks bad in that close up, it definitely looks like it could of opened up a lot more. Either way, I'll take Donaire via stoppage if the rematch happens

that ref decision making was shocking THe fifth round was the shadiest....I mean, he asked what round a fight wouldn't be a NC anymore, found out, started the fifth for a second then stopped it.... wtf?! Still don't see how Donaire is to blame.... dude fought back hard Cut looked bad, but didn't see the bloody mask twitter was talking about. Still looks bad though https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/t1.0-9/q71/s720x720/10415588_10152427825537040_4921294894217598818_n.jpg

Rex Tso is invited to fight July 19 on our next Macau card.— Top Rank Boxing (@trboxing) May 31, 2014 Not that any of you care Garcia is a sneak. Donaire seemed embarrassed but what he did. What'd he do?

Garcia is a sneak. Donaire seemed embarrassed but what he did.

Just saw the fight... holy hell! That was a horrible ref performance... absolutely horrible! Dude never called a headbutt or a cut by a punch.... and didn't call a headbutt in the other 2 cases. Then missed the rope holding thing, but he probably wasn't paying attention...wouldnt' be surprised Then Pabon talked with the WBA officials to make sure if the fifth round started, it'd go to TD.... then had the balls to immediately start the fifth then end it.... WTF?! What perplexes me the most is that people are blaming Donaire for this Donaire looked better than his last fight... but still meh.

Donaire beat Vetyeka who beat Chris John who beat Marquez who beat Pacquiao. Therefore, Donaire > Pacquiao.

the 3rd & 4th rounds imho nonito showed me that he still has it... He is sooooo frustrating. You can see how well he fights with a sense of urgency, but that sense of urgency always has to be coaxed out of him. You can see the potential in his right hand, but he always wants to wait for the left hook.

DONAIRE IS a HYPEJOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Probably. Donaire was whooping on him pretty fierce in the 3rd and 4th. the 3rd & 4th rounds imho nonito showed me that he still has it...

What happened guys in short? Sounding to me like it just prevented this guy from getting knocked out Probably. Donaire was whooping on him pretty fierce in the 3rd and 4th.

Say all you want against Donaire. Both fighters have 4 rounds to win and Nonito is the one bleeding. It must be in Vetyeka's mind too that he's gonna give his all just in case the ref won't stop the fight (to a No Contest) and goes 4+ rounds. But 4 rounds or not, Nonito deserves the win and he's gonna light up that ass one more time. Sure sucks to lose a belt that way, but that's boxing. I'd be pissed if there's no KD prior to stoppage but there was and Donaire started bringing it to him, he could have put Vetyeka to sleep a round earlier if not for that nasty cut. QUIT hating on Donaire people. He's not a multiple division champ for nothing.

Fought through?? He was *****ing all fight about it. And the cut could had being from a punch that V12 landed in a combo he trhew in the first round, but they aint showing that. Ive seen way worst cuts than that, and fighters go the full 12 and if/when the fight gets stop the get mad cause they want to continue fighting. Donaire was ready to pull the plug, he smart he new after 4 thy go to the socrecards, and when het got the KD he knew he had it in the bag. This was corrupt and shamefull. And I say it again Donaire is mentally weak, after the Rigondeaux schooling. bro how can he be smart and mentally weak at the same time? anyway imho nonito is not that smart but also not that weak mentally....

Sounds like they (the officials, not Donaire) wanted the fight to reach 5 because they started it then stopped it.... that's shady as hell I thought it was out of 4, but they scored out of 5 w/o fighting the fifth No they read the scores wrong. It was 39-36 across the board.
