Donaire/Narvaez and other weekend fights discussion/RBR/post fight

[Phenom]

he is not at the same level as Manny, Martinez and Mayweather he need to be fighting at 126 to be talked about with super elites imo


I'm a fan but he is just to big for the guys at 118

[SuperPogi]

I mean i didnt see anything special about him yesterday, just the same old athleticness ala Berto. I dont think he would beat Juanma and sure as hell should be kept away from Gamboa IMO.

Your overrated.

[sicko]

YES HE IS!

But that is because of some FANS and the MEDIA!

He is good...but some people are ready to put him on Pacquiao and Mayweather level because of ONE KNOCK OUT!

Fans Overrate Fighters after a fight...and they also UNDERRATE Fighters when they don't look their best...Donaire is not going to Knock Out Everybody he Fights because everybody he fights is not going to "LET HIM KNOCK THEM OUT" if they smart they would avoid his Power...that is what your suppose to do

but at the same time all this "BLAMING NAVAREZ FOR NOT COMING TO FIGHT", I think that is used as an excuse by fans, great fighters will find away to penetrate great defense, Arthur Abraham has Shell Tight Defense as well...but Andre Ward, Carl Froch and Andre Dirrell ALL found ways to break past it by using accuracy and switching up punches and going to the Body and Head

Donaire last night was DESPERATE TO IMPRESS and wanted a KO and when he could not get it he got FRUSTRATED! WORK RATE DON'T BREAK GOOD DEFENSE...ACCURACY and being UNPREDICTABLE with your punches does

I'm just LOL'ing that the same posters who spam about Sergio being "exposed" as a bum by Barker are now jumping to the defense of Donaire...seriously, *******s are the shallowest most transparent posters on here.

Completely different fights. Donaire didn't look that good against a very good, world class fighter who refused to fight.

Martinez looked worse than Donaire against someone who wasn't a world class fighter and did come to fight.

Sir, even though your avatar is very gay, I agree with you.

Props to Narvaez thread

36 year old move up in weight first fight in US take on man much more big than him koing elites in weight class.

He is look for opening and counter but Nonaire Garcia know hes professional and play it safe and get win. Show great d and footwork just cant reach Nonito.

NOT like Clottey Pacquiao where Clottey more big but go into shell.

[KillerRightHook]

Its a shame how many times this has happened recently.

Im sick of these guys fighting to not get KO'd rather then to win.

They believe they achieve something if they survive, as was the case with Narvaez last night. Or maybe it's because they are plain scared or just want the paycheck.

[wizard king]

i understand having a size advantage but donaire size advantage is insane he needs to move his punk asss up in weight. when donaire fights someone his own size we find out how overrated he really is.

[bojangles1987]

I won't give props to any fighter that doesn't do everything they can to win. Fighters who just want to make their opponent look bad like Narvaez did do not deserve any respect for that fight.

[sicko]

People are mad at Narvarez because he did not "LET DONAIRE LOOK IMPRESSIVE AND KNOCK HIM OUT"

Narvaez may have laid out a blue print on at least what works against Donaire...Narvarez was landing jabs and he was landing them easily and Donaire had no answer for his defense

Narvaez came to survive though, not sure if he really "WANTED TO WIN"
