Great performance by Nonito. See, thats my type of **** right there. I love watching a guy who really knows the sweet science. Ill take those guys over brawlers any day. Anyways, kid was mad sick. I dont usually see that kind of pure skill in the lower weights but he was great.
However, I do think his performance was overrated from a few standpoints. 1st off they say there's only a half inch difference between them but the **** looked closer to 3. I know he was moving down in weight but he must have been a big guy at his weight while Vic looks like a small guy at his weight. I say that because it looked like they were 3 weight classes apart. Atleast 2. Vic didnt really have a chance. Vic is a ****y bastard but I felt sorry for him watching how overmatched he was. It was like Naz-MAB except with MAB being a LW at the time. Whoever is his manager is a ****in idiot. No way they shouldnt have known that it wouldve been a super hard fight. I wouldve never ever put him in with someone who fights like that and is that big. After awhile you could tell that Nonito was just playing with him. Vic only has 1 arm anyway. Then his arm is so short and he telegraphs so much that Nonito could easily see that left coming, step back, and then counter with the left hook every time.
Watching that fight again makes me appreciate guys who go to different weights because that fight looked exactly how a fight between these so called great WW's and a good prime fighter at 154 & definatly 160. Margarito, Cintron, Williams, Clottey, are all getting by because of there size but if they move up then they look so average like Margarito did against a average guy like Santos. Lucky for them there is not that many guys at those weights anymore
