Comments Thread For: Nonito Donaire: Now I am Ready For Fernando Montiel

[deejd]

LOL. you kidding me?
i admit, vic had a great run after his loss to donaire..
but donaire was sitting out for a WHILE... arum was doing a horrible job with him. donaire was WAITING to fight vic again. promotors couldnt make it happen. why the hell would donaire be scared of vic? LOL.

for the longest time, donaire was just trying to get a meaningful fight signed.

No bull at all. Donaire was going to put it to Darchinyan again... he should be thankful the rematch didn't come off.

What are you talking about Montiel hasnt been ducking anyone Montiel has been trying to fight him since the Darchinyan fight you need to check your news and not go ahead and make decisions on a fight based on race thank God im not filipino nor mexican to make a decision on this or any other great filipino vs mexican fight. Honestly i think montiel is slightly faster and skilled than Donaire only advantage for Donaire is Montiel is coming up in weight but id say its going to be a war time to test Donaire true skills and prove everyone that the Darchinyan fight was not a fluke

agree with verdugo, what the hell does this even mean. first off, Donaire is the one moving up. SEcond, Donaire is faster and stronger than montiel. Third Donaire-Montiel was supposed to happen in November but Montiel backed out claiming he wanted to fight his mandatory

Well Montiel is a division away from him before, thats why.

exactly... some of these posters are ridiculous. these are the same people that expect donaire to jump divisions to fight juanma & gamboa IMMEDIATELY. LOL.

i think donaire is doing good.

Donaire is a bad dude. He's going to capitalize on every mistake Montiel makes.

there's not gonna be much....nonito creates lots of oppenings himself dropping hands like that aint gonna help him vs montiel....

[waxfondler]

point is donaire still fighting bums out of the street.... eh for me no hate on donaire coz im filipino too, i think its time for him to kick it up a notch... i wouldn't say mabuhay all the filipino boxer but all the boxers who put their effort to give us a good fight all year long>>>>>

like i said before... bad promotion. blame arum for keeping donaire in the closet. doing pinoy power bs... i wonder why i havent seen donaire on a pac undercard. a performance like last night on a pac undercard wouldve given nonito PLENTY of exposure.... rios + donaire = exciting undercard.

I think that is Nonito's biggest flaw, he does drop his left too often. he usually gets away with it because he is so much quicker than his opponents; i think he is faster than montiel but there is not that great a difference

[WarriorSoul]

People already making excuses before Montiel even gets beat saying that Nonito is too big for him, bull**** excuse and it truly shows how much faith people have for Montiel against Donaire.

I have been thinking the same way about Donare for a while now. He should be on a Pacquiao undercard. It would give him a ton of exposure and widen his fanbase.

Wishful thinking, but it would be nice to see him on the undercard of Pacquiao's next PPV. Doesn't even have to be against a big name opponent, he could fight a b-level opponent to stay active, just to get exposure.

From what I've read, Donaire-Montiel is the main event if the fight happens, so that's a huge step already.

Donaire does that to bait. I think his counter-punching ability trumps Montiel's. If you watch Montiel throw a jab, he still has remnants of that "bow and arrow" effect that Jermaine Taylor had issues with. Where Donaire drops his hands to set traps, Montiel drops his hands in bad habits.

Doesnt Montiel have a fight?

Hold on people, Montiel still has to win next week.
