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

[MiguelDirrell25]

Nope because I remeber clearly ..coming on here to see people sayin these are the 2 best bantamweights in da world .. I think agbeko would have KO'd monteil too

[Biolink]

I knew Donaire would win and Montiel was in over his head, but I was not expecting a KO like that.

Donaire is the goods, though I can understand people saying to slow down with calling him some P4P king. At least before he has moved up in weight.

[MartinM.]

I think donaire is rated rightfully, the guy has skills and he beat a very good fighter last night.

However, people do go a little overboard with the excitement after a fight here a lot of the times.

[ADP02]

Overreacting?

It's not just that he beat Montiel, its the way he did it. It was in spectacular fashion!

While this fight alone doesn't answer all the questions about Donaire, if you have seen him over the years, you can clearly see that he had the potential.

[Carpe Diem]

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

Yep, that's NSB.

[sweetpea87]

No it was a good win and ko. People are just making to big a deal about how great Donaire is going to be just because of this one win.

[FeFist]

This is what annoys me about this forum. People foreseeing what would happen after the events take place.

[New England]

it's been a long time since anybody scored a highlight reel one punch knockout over an eventual hall of famer at 118 lbs

bantamweights just dont hit like that but once in a blue moon
he's a special talent and an absolutely lethal man

roy jones calls him the most talented young fighter he's seen in the last ten years

when you're ringside for events like that you tend to say that sort of thing

if you want to recall a bantamweight with a bone crunching hook like that you have to go back very far


and i still think donaires hardest punch is his right hand (which he launches like a big man)

[EMACULATE]

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 have tremendous repsect for Donaire but I totally agree that everyone is over-reacting to this win. He should be in the top ten P4P maybe but to put him above THE FOLLOWING IS A JOKE.

Martinez whom Max Kellerman wants to put down last night because hes taking another tough fight. I thanks thats what the boxing fans want and what we expect from the P4P number three in the world. Unlike Manny HBO forces Martinez to fight a tough challenger.

Marquez the undisputed lightweight champion who cant get Manny to get in the ring with him to save his life. Soon and very soon everyone will start to see Manny for what he really is and thats a cherry picker. He should easile be able to dust off Marquez now but he wants no part of the fight and now only wants to fight Mosley after Floyd destroyed him and he drew with the latin grass snake. Marquez has knocked out his last three mandatories whom were all tough. He doesnt want to take on the Ghost for what ever reason but hes still ahead of Donaire.

Bradley is cleaning out the JWW division and I dont care if he uses his head or not hes winning. While Amir Khan is trying to get Marquez and maybe Calderon in the ring. Bradley is beating all the top ten guys. no repect for this guy cleaning out the deepest division in the sports is just plain rediculous. And to think the Public rates Khan ahead of him. Maybe Khan can win but he still hasnt fought the level of competition that Bradley has.

Arum has Lopez, Gamboa and Donaire, now all you need to get hose three fighters some big money is to put them in a tournament with Vaquez jr, and Mares, Gonzales and the other two to see whom really should be on the list for P4P. I think you may be surprised whom wins in the end.

Real P4P

PAC- NEEDS TO BE PUT TO THE STANDARD OF FLOYD FIGHT MARTINEZ,MARQUEZ OR BRADLEY. WE DONT WANT A COTTO II OR ANY OTHER GARBAGE. STOP MAKING EXCUSES OR TRYING TO WEIGHT DRAIN GUYS AND FIGHT THE BEST.

FLOYD - RETIRED, BS SICK OF YOUR ANTICS FIGHT OR RETIRE.

MARTINEZ- MAYBE THE TOUGHEST GUY OUT OF THE LOT BECAUSE HE NEVER GETS A BREAK. WANTS TO FIGHT FLOYD AND PAC OR MARGARITO OR WHOMEVER BUT THE BOXING GODS ONLY WANT TO INTERVENE TO SEE HIS DOWNFALL. A LITTLE OLDER BUT STILL A VERY GOOD BOXER.

MARQUEZ- GREAT FOR A LONG TIME. WRONG MANAGEMENT TEAM HIS WHOLE CAREER BUT HE IMO HAS BEATEN PAC TWICE AND CANT GET HIM BACK IN THE RING FOR THE TRILOGY AT A DECENT WEIGHT TO SAVE HIS LIFE.
