im a big fan of his..his fans got brains unlike *******s. -
I like Pacquiao and Donaire. I think that Donaire is really underated and will be in the spotlight in a couple more years, especially after Pac retires.Comment

i don't think he 'll get as much attention, because he is in the very low weight divisionComment

He is awesome. Overshadowed by fellow fillipino Pacman, and also the lower weights don't get as much attention.
Can't wait till he moves up to Bantamweight and we get to see him against the likes of Montiel and Agbeko.Comment

Yeah. I heard about Doniare some years ago. The Filipino connection so to speak. There was talk about a boxer claiming the P.I. when he lived in San Leandro. I dunno exactly if he was born on the other side and then moved, or if he's basing it on the fact that he started his pro career there. Either or, he's aiite. Then i watched him knock out Darchiniyan, that's when i really started doin research bout him.Comment

I met him in Dec 2006 in a Party before he becomes Big. Here's my Prediction for Darch-Donaire:

Posts: 3,676 Darchinyan VS Donaire, I smell an Upset...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I like Darchinyan, I like KO artist, I like fighters who fights anybody. I've seen a Bunch of Darchinyan fights. Even rate him top of the 112 & top 15 P4P.
I've seen only about 3 fights of Nonito in youtube. But I met the guy & his Brother Glen personally twice at a Party & we talk a lot about Boxing. He said he beat Jason Litzau in the Amateur. Also they thought that they we're robbed by the Judges when he fought Viloria in the Olympic trials. He is supposed to be lined up against Arce but Arce lost to mijares. That's why I'm not surprised when I heard he got This title shot.
Based on my observation Donaire is very skillfull, quick with his hands & feet, has some Power, full of confidence, very smart, in short he's the Filipino version of PBF. Personality wise this guy are way different than his Brother Glen who is the Shy or low key guy. Nonito, in the Parties that we've been in, is the light of the dancefloor. He dances all night long proves he has an endless stamina. Good dancer too means he has good Hand, eye & feet coordination.
The only question is... can he handle Vic's Power?? I ask his cornermen if he has a good chin, they say he was woobled once but recovered & KO the opponent shortly.
I've seen replay of the dachinyan-Pacheco fight, in this fight Pacheco was outboxing Vic, Then the fireworks interrupt the fight, Vic recovered & KOed Pacheco shortly. Pacheco is one of the tallest fighter Vic has fought.
The reason I smell upset is because Nonito is a Legit 5'6" & a half. he's quicker & he can move. Vic will have a hardtime finding him. Nonito has a lethal left hook & I see them landing everytime Vic tries to attack. I don't think Darchinyan can be KOed, but I see Donaire outboxing him in a lopsided fashion
Here's the Video When I first met him: I'm the Videographer at that party:

Overshadowed maybe because he has so much Spanish blood in him?Comment
