Nonito Donaire vs Jorge Arce on December 12?

I thought Montiel is ducking Nonito?

I have just reviewed the Concepcion fight and saw again that Donaire had Concepcion in various corners more than a dozen times and with his back to the ropes at least half a dozen times in several rounds, firing combinations, a good percentage of which connected. Clearly, these were successful offensive thrusts that Concepcion never got around to paying back.

In addition, whenever he chose to use the ring, Donaire potshoted Concepcion.

While going through the review, I did not see Donaire engage Concepcion in several clinches which is the tool of choice of so-called "runners" whenever they have no more room to run. Instead, Nonito used his fists to create room through which he slipped away, often leaving Concepcion with a calling card as he did so. That's excellent boxing--a defensive tactic is initiated by an offensive move, then punctuated by another offensive reminder.

I think Donaire is being made a victim of expectations that are much too high for him or for any athlete. A good number of people seem to expect him to repeat in every one of his outings what he did to Vic Darchinyan. Anything less shall be a disappointment. It doesn;t seem to matter to some fans that the name of the game is "boxing" and what Nonito did was box.

you are absolutely true!!
expectations has gone high for donaire.
let's just say this is just one of his bad nyts....

but seriously, donaire showcased more of his boxing talents and skills.
i am impressed with what he did and how he did it/them.
i just hope that his hands won't keep hurting whenever it hit skulls.
he should consult a good doctor to prevent recurrence....which is frequent.

It doesn't matter who he fights as long as he concentrates on his training and stop going around shopping for interviews. Or maybe if he can't help himself at least pls. try not to bring down the other fighter or keep on complaining. Maybe i'll appreciate better if you can at least say sometihing positive towards the other fighter. Stop being a boy, grow up and be a man!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, a trip to the doc can't hurt. It shall be pretty bad if a blooming career is derailed by fragile hands.
