In his defense that was arguably Mosleys greatest or one of his greatest wins of his career. He was such an underdog and shook up the boxing world with that stunning victory. As for the chant, it was quite shameful. Boxing fans are respectable fans and stuff like that should not happen. I do have to say that Navarez didn't come to fight and Boxing needs to adjust. If you don't come to fight, something needs to be done because people are starting to lose major interest in the sport, especially due to UFC giving them quick action. Boxing needs to reinvent itself and it's a shame that old ***s like Bob Arum who don't care about the sport still are major figures in the sport. When Arum dies, the sport gets better.Comment

It'll be okay. Boxing is as much a business as it is a sport. Navarez will never be shown on American television again. I hope lasting the distance was enough to satisfy the rest of your career fighting for peanuts in Argentina.Comment

while i agree that the fight stank up the joint, its a stay busy fight for donaire before he moves up in weight a few months removed from one of his career best win.Comment

Donaire was fighting an argentine boxer outside Argentina.
This fight was a Donaire win the day the fight location was made public.
Funny thing is had they fought in Argentina Narvaez would have probably won something like 118-117 or 120-118 cause the judges would have given Narvaez a 10-10 round for almost every round he lost.

Why don't you get a sense of proportion, at least? And why do you keep mentioning Mayweather? Nobody else mentioned him before you went on your dumb-ass witch hunt again.
Narvaez is a 5'3 bantamweight king and a HUGE Donaire couldn't get to him - landing numerous punches on nothing but gloves. Donaire is the right winner of the fight but he didn't impress me and I think Gamboa is going to run him over.
With that height, weight and reach advantage Donaire should be able to close the fight early and be way more physical. He actually made Narvaez look like the bigger guy and the bigger puncher.
The only reason why Donaire is fighting smaller dudes is because he'll be in trouble when going up in weight to fight the top contenders there.
I've said it before, I can't see Donaire going through Gamboa and tonight that statement is even more clear to me: No way Donaire gets through Gamboa.Comment

They do that when all 1st class fighters seem to strugle. Donaire did not get exposed. He simply went up against probably the best high guard defense since Winky. IMO he lost the 2nd & 3rd, but he won the fight. I was more impressed with Navaera's defense but that's no knock on Donaire who still owned the fight. But I still will never blame that little guiy for not getting ko'd.Comment

I don't think it ruined the night at all. What people refuse to understand sometimes is that even the best fighters on the planet run into someome that isn't in the mood to be stopped & is willing to make 12 rounds of hell. That little dude was smaller, weaker & slower, he'd never lost he was fighting a superior fighter & decided since he wouldn't win, he was going to last the fight & he did, I applaude the little guy for that. That's no knock on Donaire, great fighters win & that's what he did.Comment
