Fernando montiel vs Nonito Donaire, who is taking this???

[F l i c k e r]

montiel/donaire is a tossup... i dont see hasegawa beating montiel in a rematch or even donaire

Can't count him out. Hozumi may correct a few things and get better.

He had succes against Montiel until he decided he wanted to engage. Who knows, he could just outbox Montiel for 12. It seemed to be working the first 3 rounds.

I don't care if Hozumi beats Montiel by split, unanimous, dq, kayo. As long as he gets that revenge.

montiel is past his prime... he is still good tho but his better days are over

He just got one of his biggest wins of his career and he is past his prime?? He is much better than donaire he is a 3 division champ and the number one in his weight class unified champ

I would normally take Donaire but Montiel was very impressive last fight. Now I'm not as sure.

I think montiel is being overrated on this site, anyone agree?

Jeez, it was two fights ago that this happened:

Whether it be the cut or Valdez’s height and southpaw stance, he began to totally dominate Montiel, beating him like he was school boy. It was really one-sided from that point. Valdez, 25, stalked Montiel around the ring hitting him with left hands and combinations while Montiel constantly moved and dabbed at his cut eye.

In the 2nd round, Valdez busily pursued Montiel around the ring, hitting him at will with left hands. In the first minute of the round, Montiel’s nose began to bleed, making his face look like a bloody mess. Valdez continued to totally dominate the round with ease. Valdez looked so much bigger than the 5′4″ Montiel and his southpaw stance made him even more effective. Late in the round, Valdez caught Montiel with a powerful right uppercut that knocked Montiel to the canvas.

The uppercuts was thrown from about a foot away from Montiel’s head, yet it was a like wrecking ball, because it knocked Montiel down as if he were a building be destroyed. Montiel got to his feet, looking hurt and more than a little demoralized, and continued to fight for the remaining seconds of the round. In the 3rd round.

Valdez caught up with Montiel by the ropes and landed a number of big shots to the head of Montiel, who at one point seemed to lose his head and start walking away sideways along the ropes and covering his head as if he was being stung by a horde of bees.

Montiel didn’t look like a professional boxer at all at that moment. He looked like a little kid being pummeled by a bully and was trying to get away to make it stop. The remainder of the round saw Valdez totally in control, following Montiel around the ring and hitting him with shot after shot without much coming back. It looked like a complete slaughter.

It was a lucky thing for Montiel that the fight was stopped after the round because he would have lost the fight and probably been stopped in a round or two. This was a full route and looked like one of the most one-sided fights I’ve seen in quite some time.

Anyone remember the beating he was taking there??? No, forgotten history? Ok then, put your money on Montiel!!
