Comments Thread For: Donaire vs Sidorenko on Cotto, Chavez Card

[Shadows]

At this point in his career does Sidorenko have a realistic shot? 60/40, 70/30?

Considering this fight will be on a Top Rank card and given that Donaire is bad style match up for him, I'd say it's very unlikely.

Sidorenko is a pretty good fighter, but he's a bit limited by his physical dimensions, short and with short arms. I think Donaire's height, reach, foot speed and hand speed will be a problem for him, he'll probably try and keep him off balance and resetting too.

As long as he doesn't do something ****** like trying to fight as a southpaw, Donaire should win.

He was complaining about Donaire being to0 big against Montiel anyway. He is happy Montiel ducked Donaire.

Ya i was just looking at their heights, i thought Donaire was taller than 5'6, thought Sidorenko was 5'5 but has him at 5'4. Well im just glad to see him get a shot like this, i'll be glued to the screen.

I think he's around 5'4.

Poonsawat is about 5'4, and there was little difference in terms of height when they fought. If anything, Sidorenko looked as though he may have been the shorter fighter.

3.5 yrs after beating vic, thats how long it took donire to fight someone who has more than a 5% chance of beating him, granted its still a relatively safe fight considering sidorenko is coming of back to back losses against moreno in which he didnt look too good

[Cotto 54/10]

Cotto will win the fight on Dec 4 regardless who his opponent is, then he will proceed to face Chavez =)

Arum back to preventing good fights like always. It's like second hand nature to him. Donaire is a joke, but Montiel doesn't really look good if he fights Morel either. The only guys interested in fighting the best are in the Showtime tournament.

I wanna see someone shut Vanes mouth up already. I think Vanes and Khan are the 2 biggest trash talkers in boxing today. They both need their mouths wired shut.

I hope its at the garden
