how is donaire`s ko shot different to martinez`s?

[| THE KING |]

One came from a filipino.. the other didn't.

Martinez's straight left was like a "cry to the heavens and hope it lands" shot.

Donaire seemed to know what he was doing when he landed that left hook.

Martinez threw all of his weight into that shot and had landed it prior. That shot was definitely not lucky.

[Frighteous]

I keep wondering how he's going to deal with Sergei's jab.

There's really no way to deal with that punch...it will ultimately be a matter of watching how many jabs Martinez can take before mentally bending.

both came from a blind spot with a massive left hook and both were bone crushing. i`m wondering if there is a striking difference with regards to foot position and setting-up prior to the execution. share your thoughts.

what nonito did was more calculated. nonito did an advanced move that roach explains in this video, except instead of hooking to the body, nonito hooked to the head.



what sergio did was throw the overhand left over and over again until he landed the money punch. and sergio wasn't countering the right hand, sergio was trading hooks with pwill and sergio's hook is better than pwill's.

[SCEN3RY]

Well, first of all their stances are different; Orthodox for Nonito and Southpaw for Sergio. Martinez was able to turn into his shot and use his body weight, where as Donaire was in an Orthodox stance, left leg forward (left jab), he got hit with a straight right, absorbed it like nothing, and countered with a nasty left cross/hook, it was more like a really powerful check hook (probably the nastiest check hook I can think of).

I hate when people say Martinez shot was luck. He practiced all camp, and was waiting for Pwill to come in swinging so he could throw it. It was perfect.

[Frogs!]

They both closed there eyes and swung wildly i call that lucky

you're lucky your mother decided not to abort you at the last second.

she already had a chicken leg bone raised and ready to strike her tummy when your dad, her cousin, came home from the circus.

Donaire's shot was from hook over Montiel's right hand. But Pwill run into the left straight wrecklessly. It's much more difficult to defend against Nonito's hook than SM's straight left. Martinez saw Paul running at him and threw his left hand. Nonito's hook was calculated precisely.

Nobody was "running". They were standing and traded shots, Martinez got the better of it. I didn't see any running in that exchange.
