Masuda has a laser left straight.

I was worried Donaire gonna get brain damage.

Donaire should have retired long ago! He is setting up long-term physical effects of countless years of taking punches. Now he has become a name on some unknown fighters resumes.

Whoever’s advising donaire to keep on fighting at this point is doing him a severe disservice. He’s probably one of the nicest guys in the sport so it’s not great seeing him keep on and taking losses but he’s been pretty much done for a while and him just to keep getting out against these up and coming dangerous fighters he’s just gonna take punishment that he doesn’t need to because he’ll always get the fights because of what he achieved in the sport so he’s a name to add to the record for these guys but his health isn’t gonna be the best if he keeps going

The Filipino Flash is screwing up in a big way. STOP, Nonito, before you get seriously hurt!

His wife seems like the Dragon Queen who determines when and where Nonito fights. I've seen the in interviews and it looks like she's a ventriliquist and he's the dummy.

Yeah and he’s had like 3 fights in the space of a year aswell and at his age that’s not something he should be doing or even fighting at all. He’s had such a decorated career so to keep on when it’s not there anymore and if it is people like his wife advising him to keep fighting then she’s really doing him wrong by that because he’s only gonna get older and the damage will get worse
