    this.

    and the mechanics of his punches. watch the slow motion replay of the ko again and watch how he moves his entire body into that punch.

    that's something that he had to learn. paul williams for example it's all arm punching. he doesn't rotate his body into his punches like that.

    and of course:

    donaire came in the ring at 126
    montiel came in the ring at 134

    but hey, donaire had a huge size advantage right?

People can't deny that, and don't get offended and say I'm tryin' to bash him because I'm not. I never had a problem with P.Will, Caballero or Margarito facing smaller opponents, so why would I have a problem with Donaire doing it? I like Donaire too.

      It's obvious though because we've all seen constant threads of Donaire vs. Juanma or Gamboa, even Max brought this to Donaire's attention; on Donaire possibly moving up to FW, so we all know what people are seeing here. Montiel was still a great win and I'm not discrediting his win at all. Just that some like to deny that Donaire's size hasn't played a role.
      I disagree, Montiel was heavier the night of the fight and Donaire is only two inches taller. That is not that big of a difference. We can't expect everyone to have the same reach and hight, that's why they go by weight class. Donaire has one hell of a punch, and that has nothing to do with his reach advantage.

            Donaire may have been be taller than Montiel but according to HBO's fight night weigh in, Montiel actually weighed more than Donaire when they stepped in the ring.

              If by beat you mean barely sc****d by one of the worst HW title holders ever than sure, and I guess P4P rankings don't look kindly on his constant ducking of top rated comp and him facing opponents who are typically 10 years older than him.

                  the day before, people are rooting for Montiel...some were saying he was gonna 'expose' Nonito and after he got hit into an alternate universe, NSB has put the 'bum' label on him



                  why do you d1ckheads do this? where were these types of opinions about Montiel being 'wacked' or 'slow yesterday'?


                  i even had one guy arguing with me yesterday that Montiel was the better boxer...where's that guy?




                  it was a great matchup and Montiel just got caught...doesn't make him a bum

                    Yes, but he's so much naturally bigger than Montiel. Again, this wasn't to discredit Donaire.
