      Damn, Montiel was dreaming about riding his bike when he was 6 and waving at his mom and dad...

        these are two elite fighters & the margin for error in this fight was of great importance. Donaire saw a slight opening & took advantage.

          Montiel was vulnerable to that counter left hook of Donaire, he should have been seen that when he studied Donaire in his training.

          He didn't make any adjustment to it...even after receiving about 2-3 counter left hooks in the 1st round.

          Maybe Montiel must have also underestimated Donaire's power.

            He wasn't fast enough..

            just by the first round you could tell montiel couldn't handle donaire's speed

                So no matter what if you're opponent is faster than you you're always going to get caught and knocked out like Montiel?

                Nah I don't believe that.

                Montiel teleg****d that punch and left his chin up too high in my opinion.

                Speed didn't play a factor in this punch.

                Even if Nonito was slow he would of seen that counter opportunity and took it.

                  That's not what I meant- Montiel lost because of a perfectly set up left hook by donaire- but even if you take that away, donaire was beating him to the punch everytime, and was always a split second ahead of him.

                  Both in strategizing and executing, as well as reacting.

                    agreed Montiel looped his right hand around and even before the punch was in mid air u cud see donaire looking and and bringing his left

                      Yeah Donaire's eyes are sharp.

                      Looking at it again I have no idea why he telegraphed that right hand so obliviously. Especially against a lightning quick fighter like Donaire.

                      That's not something professionals should do.
