I noticed that we didn't have a poll for this fight and that it is next week. I used the search feature and I couldn't find it for this fight.
I pick Walters by KO RD 7 or 8.
War Axe-Man!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, that uppercut took Donaire out of the fight. On the surface, Walters looks a lil sloppy and green but he is actually very precise with his punches and he makes subtle moves to get into position and avoid the opponent's attack.
That uppercut was the end for Donaire. He became tentative after that. He was hurt.
Before that, he was right in the fight and landing some good counters. His counters had some power. He had the potential to knock down Walters.
But the uppercut was indeed beautiful.
The Nonito uppercut was beautifully executed. Perfect form too. Surprised Nonito survived that one because he was squared up too.
When I saw him drop like a sack of potatoes I knew it was a matter of time before he finished him.
Homeboy had ALL of his weight on the one he hit Nonito with. Dude dominated that fight.

Not really shocking but Donaire's speed and power is not apparent at 126.
I found it funny when he once said he wanted to move up to 130 without even fighting at 126 yet.
I loved the translation in Walters' corner after the 2nd. Corner was asking him if he was alright after Donaire staggering him and he goes "Are you crazy? Yeah I'm alright."
That was quality :lol1:
boy was I wrong, damn!! haha..Donaire got his azz kicked last night. I didn't think Walters' had it in him to rise to the occasion but he did. He really did his homework on Donaire and had a very smart gameplan.
Walters is going to take some stopping. To beat Donaire the way he did it, i.e. walking him down and beating him up, was hugely impressive.

really excited about walters' career.
he seemed down to the muscle and bone at 126, so maybe we'll see him at 30 and 35 soon. 138 lbs in the ring, too. not the biggest FW we've seen, but certainly not small. 5'7", 73 inch reach
frankly, i'm not sure i believe the figure on that 73 inch reach. that's freaking enormous for a 5'7" featherweight.
Me too, his power is very impressive.
He's got raw power because to me his punches don't look like they're hard but clearly they are very hard.
He's very beatable but I look forward to an exciting career.
Feel for Donaire.
He's done a lot in his career.
The Axeman was just too much for him.

That last sequence shows some very impressive defensive moves from Walters, his defense isn't flashy and easy to spot but he does some nice and subtle things in there on the defensive sides.
This is a bloodsport, and lives,careers and legacies are on the line. If a fighter gets up and beats the 10 count, that means he wants to fight. If he wants to fight, I believe you should give him his chance. Donaire was the champion, he should have had the right to go out on his shield.
Sometimes stopping a fight too early will hurt a fighter more than stopping it too late. Because of this loss we'll probably never see Donaire on HBO again. His career might be over because it got stopped.
I'm not talking about the rules or the referee's powers. I already know what they are, i've been posting here for 5 years. I'm saying I believe he should have been given a chance.
The referee was also within his rights of stopping this fight.
Idk who you are and idk if you're a Donaire fan but you need to stop it.
Chico was getting up on sturdy legs unlike Donaire. Who couldnt even sit down on his own. If I remember correctly, the ref was hesitant to wave it off but he saws Donaire's face/eyes.
It's like a fish-you put bait on the hook and you catch him.
Nonito is great, for my next fight I will welcome him as a sparring partner. (paraphrasing)
Really nice way of telling someone this win wasn't that hard and your career is done.
Good fight. Ref could've let it continue but why have a man who is getting beaten up and dominated take more punishment than necessary.
No, the referee can't let it continue when a fighter can't stand up on his own.

LOL at the person that is mad at the ref for stopping the fight. Nonito didn't even know where he was after he got smased on the grape. Beautiful right hand by the Axe Man.
