    I agree and I hate to say it too because I became a big fan of Donaire after his ko over Montiel, but uhm yeah, Rigo destroys donaire so does Gamboa. It's like i said in a different thread I can even see Juanma potentially giving him trouble... and as one user here mentioned, maybe even Mares after that performance, but to be fair the guy did fight with an injured hand towards the end I can understand that, but he didn't look P4P material at the very beginning of the fight either...

      Yeah that was an amazing left hook from donaire... he threw it from an odd angle, barely landed it cleanly, and yet he still managed to rock Vazquez with it.

        Nonito has fought a long list of champions, Darchinyan, Montiel, Mathalane, Tyson Marquez, Vasquez jnr.I thought Vasquez was a fake champion because he won a vacant title beating 19 year old sonsona. I was suprised.He is no fake champion like RAMOS, that's for sure.Vasquez is tough.But Donaire is way to cautious he doesn't let his hands go.When he does let them go, they are all power shots.He just needs to stop being a KO artist, he is not a 1 punch kO puncher, he has power but not great power. Just box, ain't going to look good against champions might as well BOX.Stop trying to KO everyone.

          its his first fight at this weight class and he won comfortably with basically one hand. yeah he was still throwing with it but if it wasn't jacked up he'd probably stop vasquez earlier. donaire took some rounds off and should of let the right hand go more but he still controlled the fight. that score of 115-112 for vasquez was a joke.

            Anyone who has seen my threads/posts here knows I've always supported donaire. Fact is for a guy considered P4p material he did not look so special and he got shook a few times by a guy arce killed. I'm not denying donaire is special but lets look at his career he's 5'7 been picking on tiny 5'2-5'5 guys.

            Rigo would beat him up @ 122
            Gamboa would give him permanent brain damage @ 126

              I will be impressed if he does that against the best 122 pounder in nishioka.
              Arce was losing the fight before the stoppage! Donaire was more dominant against Vasquez even with the Injury!.

              For the Rigo nuthugger, Please watch his fight with Cordova to see his boring Flaws! I dont care for Rigo now, He doesnt bring fans & he's so boring!!

                  I wasn't impressed with Donaire tonight, but I won't hold it against him due to the injury which appears to have been legit. While he did beat Vazquez convincingly, it was still competitive. I felt Donaire looked sloppy at times. His defense has really looked weak in his last two fights and is going to lead to problems in the future against sharper opponents like Nishioka & Rigo. However, like I said, it's hard to overanalyze this due the injury.

                    I was PRAYING that GSP would jump in the ring and tell Nonito that he was not impressed with his performance, then he would jump on a plane fly to Vegas and get into the octagon and catch Condit and tell him the same thing. AWESOME FANTASY!

                      that injury does not account for his horrendous defense and his inability to open fighters up. to me, its a cop out. he got beat up pretty bad by a fighter everyone claims doesnt open up. yet, i saw a lot of places donaire could have attacked, like the body, which wv2 left wide open.
