    Am I the only one who thinks people are overeacting to this win?

    Have any of you people even heard of Donaire or seen him fight before this?

    Did anyone watch Hasegawa outbox Montiel until the KO?

    At first I thought the fight would be a war. But the more of Doanire and Montiel past fights I watched I knew it would be a slaughter in Donaires favor.

    People are overrating Donaire and Montiel. Dopnaire is a great fighter but slow down people. Montiel was in over his head.

    I agree.

    Montiel is slow for his weight class, isn't a good boxer and has no defense.

    P4P top-3 status off that win is a joke.

      Of course most of us here have seen Donaire before this fight.

          I think Montiel is a good fighter. But Donaire is on another level. Too big, too rangy , too powerful. Im throughly convinced Donaire could fight lightweights.

            After watching him destroy a former champ and career long bantemweight in Sydorenko, i knew he would beat him easily

            I've been saying it for a while that Donaire will beat him with a counter and he did, just didnt expect it so quickly

              This is what i hate about this forum,before the fight,everybody was saying its the best fight that can be made in the division,they are the two best at bantam easily,before the fight alot of experts where calling it a 50/50 fight or 60/40 in Donaire's favor,before the fight Montiel hadnt lost for like 5 years,was on a KO streak,had one of the best years out of all fighters in 2010,and his only 2 losses coming by way of SD,Donaire made it look easy and blew him out the water,i think we shud credit donaire on knocking out an elite level fighter,remember,alot of people rank Abner Mares high,but he struggled with Darchinyan,who Donaire also blew out the water

                  Im not knocking Donaire at all. He did what I thought he would.

                  But people are on here acting like he KO'd Carlos Zarate or Eder Jofre.

                    I knew Donaire would win, I knew he would outclass him, I just figured it would last 12 rounds... The fact that it didn't is more than enough reason to be impressed
