Is no fighter allowed to look even a little vulnerable?

I know it's crazy right??? Overall good debut at the new weight IMO.....

F#ck Arce I want to see Nishioka next though

[IronDanHamza]

so you want him to do a pacquiao and drain his opponents to 112?!

Typo.

122 run.

I thought he looked very good, completely controlled the fight against a good fighter while he moved up in weight....WV2 I thought only won 2rds and only the 6th rd convincingly.

Btw you might as well apply your own logic to everyone. After all Martinez was all hype after struggling with a young undefeated fighter that he stopped, remember??

Barker is a nobody. Martinez deserved criticism for struggling in that fight. Young, undefeated, and never having fought anyone relevant in his life, which is often the case with young and undefeated.

It his funny how some people write someone off now.

Nothing happened last night to change my mind that Nonito is a great fighter and will have a great career. Still think he beats everyone at 118-122, but Moreno and Rigondeaux would be tough fights.

And I still think Rigo can beat Donaire, but that's just me. Donaire is great, but I don't think he's this unbeatable force at 118-122 like his fans make him out to be. Yes, Vazquez was a decent win, but nothing more. Wilfredo's first real step up in competition was a tiny Jorge Arce who TKO'd him. A decent win, nothing more.

Donaire-Rigondeaux is still the fight.

Moreno and Rigondeaux are the only two I could see beating Donaire at 122 or 118, wherever he would fight them. But while they may frustrate him and outbox him, they may face the same problem everyone else that fights Donaire does, where they get smacked when they open up and aren't active enough worrying about getting smacked again.
