Comments Thread For: Nonito Donaire Makes History, Knocks Oubaali Out in Fourth For WBC Title

[_Rexy_]

I'm fully jealous, man. This is a real nice card... Huge fan of Donaire, really like the crafty little Frenchman and Browny's my dude. Don't know much about the Kazakh, but he got a real fan friendly style and reports out of Canada suggest he could be a bit special...

Enjoy the fights, man.

awe, is that what you're calling me now?

Great night of fights

Glad this one starts late that way fans can catch the DAZN card too.

This. Both cards got a few interesting looking fights. And idk if I buy all the Linares hype, but some folks I respect are even predicting there are upset vibes there.

I've been reading that too but Linares always seems to fail in his biggest fights. Seems like he has the skill just not the mental make up when the lights shine brightly on him.

It almost seems like the Pro-Linares camp is more Anti-Haney than anything else.

Agree. Linares & Khan both seem to have the talent to beat almost anyone on their best night, but due to their lack of toughness & focus they come up short & aren't viewed as great as they could be because of those bad L's they've taken.

For the main event, I think that Donaire is the sentimental favorite, but I really gotta wonder about being 118 and 38 years old.

Hopefully, he has got 1 or 2 sweet left hooks still left in him.

Ha ha I'd read a little about him before you got in there, but yeah, you were definitely one of the Canadian sources I had in mind.

Donaire back on Showtime - pretty sure I first saw him and his brother on SHOBox all those years ago. What a career since!

Linares always falls apart when it matters and at this end stage of his career he doesn’t have much left.

should be a showcase for Haney

Nordine Oubaali vs Nonito Donaire I'm going. From the pad its about a 45 min drive to Carson. It was a gift from my three boys. My old lady is filipina she immediately said I'm going. They are good tickets not on the floor but 2nd row in the bowl section directly behind press row so the sun is at our backs. Will miss Haney and Linares but that's a small price to pay. Besides I have a DVR.

Have fun...

Linares is essentially a mid-career Amir Kahn. Great boxer but fragile.

I expect Linares to give Haney a lot of trouble until he’s clipped by a hook and KOd
