Nonito Donaire Has a Vision of The Future

I have a vision of Nonito too.....


Taking a 3 round dirt nap from Hozumi Hasegawa.

I beg to differ, you got it the other way around. I watch Hasegawa's fights. Don't get me wrong, the guy can box, but he can be countered with a left hook when he throws that straight right. Hasegawa tends to bring his right hand down when he throws his signature left straight, reminiscence of old PACQUIAO, but not as devastating, cause the guys he hit with it were able to get up. Hasegawa is a cross between the old PACQUIAO (less speed) and Darchiniyan (but better movement). Hasegawa is perfect to get countered with Donaire's signature punch (the left hook) plus the left uppercut. It would be a competitive fight, but I have to give Donaire the advantage, base on Donaire being a better counterpuncher. If anyone dispute this watch Hasegawa's fights and when he let his hands go, he seems to miss alot (accuracy is in question)...

first he needs to get out of japan...


he is good but my boi nonito would pwn that ass

lol, if you say so. But so you know, Hozumi is the one stoppin dudes with winning gloves on, doing it in convincing fashion within two or three rounds.

Nonito is good. I think his power might do something to Hozumi buuuuuuuuuuuuut Hozumi has literally been destroying the division. Not just random dudes but the #1 wbc ranked opponents repeatedly. Dudes who have never been stopped, getting stopped and not just getting stopped, getting stopped in the 1st round by winning gloves.

lol, he is southpaw. He doesn't throw a right straight.

I like your observations though. But mark my words. When Nonito gets hit by that left straight, watch his frame shake up. If he don't get dropped by that, watch for the lead right hook to come in after..... guaranteed knock down.

His accuracy is not in question though. He misses because the dudes are all off balance, staggering to the left and right horribly. They get hit with the lead left and then all of a sudden get **** faced and can't stand up right. Hozumi has pin point accuracy, watch whenever he knocks down opponents, it's always right on the point of the chin.

Hozumi is too fluid. He may get into slugfests alot but the dude's footwork is crazy good. I doubt he will get countered much, specially by the lead left hook that Donaire likes to throw.

Donaire wanted a unification bout. The japanese only recognize the WBC and WBA belts. Nonito had the IBF belt which is why none of the japanese would fight him. Had Nonito vacated the ****ty IBF belt soon as he won it he'd probly have both the WBC and WBA belts today.

why? cant donaire-naito fight with only the wbc belt being on the line? if naito really wants donaire, then defend his belt against donaire

not surprising at all. valero fought mostly in japan and look at his record

lol, what does the venue have to do with KOs?

Hozumi hasn't really faught any japanese since he won the WBC strap. He faught a Thai(maybe cambo, i dont know) for the title, gives him the rematch and KOs him in 8. Then fights a bunch of dudes from europe and **** like that. Then fights two black dudes, and some hispanics, and KOs the best USA has to offer atm in the bantam division.

Same as Valero. He hardly fights Japanese. He fights them, yes, because its hell of alot easier getting fights around where you live than it is to go out around the world. But he still fights in central america a **** load of times.

Hasegawa is a division above him, he's widely considered the best in the division, he's the bigger man, and as of late he's been quite the destroyer. Funny thing is you don't even know who he is and yet you knock him. Japanese fighters are on the comeup nowadays.

nonito is toooo much for hasegawa, nonito is on the different level ninito can even KTFO juanma lopez or any featherweight guys.

I wish Donaire was a featherweight or higher.. He would get more exposure

Taking a 3 round dirt nap from Hozumi Hasegawa.

I'm not too sure about Hasegawa putting Nonito to sleep. Although he has been knocking out opponents in the early rounds (1st and 2nd) since the mid-2008, his overall record does not speak too much about the power he packs. He has less than half of his victories by stoppage (only 11 of 27 wins). His using Winning gloves may have much to do with his low KO/TKO record. But then, if that is so, why has he been knocking out opponents in the early rounds recently? Could it be the quality of the opposition?

His recent stoppage victims were not exactly all world shakers; names like Faccio of Uruguay, who had been KO'd a year earlier by an Argeninan fighter. Santillan dropped Faccio as early as the first round and finished the job in the fifth. And there was Alejandro Valdez of Mexico who was KO'd in two rounds by another Mexican fighter who was on his pro debut!

Vusi Malinga may be the most respectable of Hasegawa's most recent victims as he too stopped Sahaprom (from whom Hasegawa took the title) but Hasegawa's sole American opponent in the past six years, who is also his last KO victim, Nestor Rocha, had been dieting on opponents with records of 36-34 (the veteran Oscar Andrade), 14-10 (Javier Cintron), 30-12 (Miguel Berranza) and 19-5 (Cesar Morales) in four fights immediately preceeding the Hasegawa fight. He had been beaten by UD by the first opponent with a respectable 6-1 record (Jonas Hernandez). The fact is that Andrade has won only one fight of about ten fights since losing to Nonito some three years ago and his only victory was when his opponent was disqualified.

Qualitatively, other than Sahaprom, Hasegawa's victims are not exactly the type that can be expected to provide strong opposition. They are not, after all, the Yohnny Perezes, Fernando Montiels, Abner Mareses...all of whom are in the way of any claim that Hasegawa can make of having "cleaned up" the Bantamweight class. HIs African opponents (along with the already mentioned Malinga, were Maludrotto and Vetyeka over whom he won by 2 to 3 points UD), were not named Agbeko or Silence Mabuza.

I also remember that Hesegawa had to dig into some of his reserves in winning against Filipino trailhorse, Jesse Macca, in Kobe and had to settle to an SD win some years ago although, I do know that Hasegawa has come a long way since then.

With all these said, I am hoping that a Donaire-Hasegawa fight can be made. I think that should be up if Nonito wins over Concepcion.
