I liked the first half, second half was meh except for the knockdown. He did injure his arm though, I'll give him that.
He used it the entire fight, cept for the LAST ROUND.. the round we found out it was hurt. That hand he "hurt" in the 2-4th (he claims) is the same hand the produced the knockdown after that big uppercut.
I'm not buying it.
Donaire Loses to anything with a defensive brain that isn't 2 foot tall and can match his speed.
Moreno, Rigo, and Gamboa all win.
I wouldn' tdoubt Mares giving him serious trouble either and he'd lose to Nishioka if he performed like this right here.
Donaire has never impressed me. He is a roy jones jr. wannabe that ONLY relies on his reflexes which aren't even that good. He can't handle pressure andhas zero head movement, zero defense, SUPER OVERRATED power, and no inside game. Walk him down and he becomes incredibly uneffective. He relies too much on his reflexes and leaves his hands down, leaving his face a bullseye target for jabs and right hands.
I have no doubt that Nishioka and Rigondeaux would absolutely annihilate him. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Arce beats him since he could just walk him down and bully him on the inside and smother Donaire.
