Comments Thread For: Photos: Vazquez Ripped and Ready For Nonito Donaire

[Eaner0919]

Well than that's like me saying "We get it, you hate Floyd", right???

but for the Mannyiacs on here I think it's common knowledge they hate Floyd and at least admit it

you on the other hand veil your hate as trying to be logical about thins when there are holes in what you say about a potential Rigo fight.

starting with

No, I don't hate either guy at all. I just think it's funny they are grooming Donaire as the next Pacquiao,

no that's far from the truth Donaire has had aspirations of moving as hish as 126 for years so this isn't hasn't been some scheme to make Nonito the next Manny in fact they're quite opposite in a lot of things

but I just think he's slightly overrated after knocking out Montiel.

but while it was the KO of the year and impressive when you consider Montiel was rated as high as the 2nd best bantamweight of the world you have to realize Donaire had been highly regarded prior to him KOing Montiel this only solidified what a lot of people already knew. His resume is better than people realize when you really analyze it.

And I just hate the excuse of "No one knows who Rigo is"

but short of the hardcore who really does know Rigondeaux? I mean it's not like he's had a lot of US exposure and the biggest stage he fought on was arguably his worst performance to date.

Donaire IMO is at a level where he probably wants to maximize every fight from here on out to make a solid life outside of this sport. Remember the little guys do not make nearly as much as everyone else.

but they are coming off fighting Narvaez.

okay let's see

who would you have had Nonito face remembering that he had fought only two rounds prior in Feb?

I hope Donaire-Rigondeaux is made, it's an interesting fight. And it's notlike we can wait for Rigo to gain a couple more years of expoerience, he's already 31.

and Nonito is 28 so BOTH realize their earning potential is upon them

And I am far from the only person on here that thinks Donaire-Vazquez is a little pointless.

not but it's not the **** fight many think it is

WV2 lost a great fight against Arce where he could have easily won, had Arce hurt, and gassed. No shame in losing to a warrior like Travieso (which I think some are losing in the translation of this fight)

for a first fight at 122 I really don't see the issue with it why do you?

vasquez outboxing nonito?...lol

vasquez chances are good but outboxing should be the last thing he should try to do...he needs to pressure donaire from the get go like concepcion did and try to fight him on the inside....

LOL **** no. His best chance is to make it a war. He would get picked apart boxing nonito. He should use his power and size and put pressure on nonito.

that's what i said bro..it was bushbaby who said vasquez should box nonito..lol...vasquez got a better chance of being successful at making it a war than concepcion ,given vasquez is bigger, stronger , better all around fighter than el torito...

[Lords]

I wouldn't count out out Vazquez Jr. Im just laughen at you people saying he has no chance.

come on you cant beat a washed up mexican but you can beat a pinoy its a start

One punch can change the whole fight. No fighter has put their head right on donaires chest cause he moves so well but if u get inside and **** away it may change the fight. I like donaire alot he has all the natural abilities a great fighter needs but he hasn't been pushed yet and I would like to see how he reacts to getting hit clean and hurt.

The Vazquez camp has mentioned emphasizing defense. I have a feeling Vazquez will try to box Donaire which is a fight he will definitely lose. An inside fight and a war would help Vazquez but Donaire is too smart, quick and skilled for Vazquez.

Many/most folks might be brushing off this kid too quickly and are expecting another Montiel-like blowout. He was an untested kid that took Arce deep, very creditable performance and almost pulled it out. He was still learning, no amateur experience and no top level opposition. I'm thinking that he'll put up a better fight than most believe.
