is Donaire over hyped???? how will he do in his up comming fight???

[Brother Jay]

i personally rate donaire...i like his style and accuracy, timing and punch variety....ur always on the edge of your seat expecting at any second a montiel type explosive ko...but he has been a big fish in a small pond so to speak, so how will nonito fair against legitimate sized opponents??? every 1 talks about a rigondeaux fight but i think rigo hasn't really earned the chance to be in with a name fighter like donaire and would be a great fight if, providing they keep winning, meet a year or so from now after building the fight up, nonito is in the top 5 p4p and i believe he deserves to be there and is an exciting talent:wank:

I like Donaire. He's technically the best active Filipino boxer today. His win over Darchinyan is what made me a believer. I don't know how well he'll do as he moves up in weight but the same can be said about every boxer.

ANY HYPE IS TOO MUCH HYPE!
Isn't hype just people attaching their hopes and their reputations to the acheivements of others?

I like Nonito, as SILENCERS said: Every fighter gets hyped after a good win.

We'll see. I like him, it doesn't mean I think he's better than Rigo/Mares/Gamboa. Just means I enjoy watching his fights.

I'd be lying if I said I'd seen Mathebula fight, but it'll be interesting to see Nonito face a taller guy. Many people on here seem to be saying the guy aint too bad and has had some tough decision losses so we'll see.

More than anything I wanna see Nonito fight a top guy again but with TopRank... you just never know...
I was explaining to my g/f yday about TopRank and the JCCjr debacle etc... and deadly serious, she said "And you still watch this stuff?! It sounds like Wrestling!" Caught me off guard a little bit... From a non-fan's point of view, this **** looks even more ridiculous than it does to us.

Ballchinyan was at 112, he is tiny & that win is so so overrated, tell me who Ballchinyans best win was? Nonitos little brother Glenn? lol! Lets not go on like he was some monster because he never was and has consistently fell through in big fights, the guy has zero defense what so ever.

Montiel whilst again tiny I give him some respect for that win.

What do you mean Darchinyan was tiny? They were in the same weightclass, Darchinyan was a reigning champ and got starched. Then Darchinyan moved up BEFORE Donaire and became world champ at 115 and 118. Donaire moved up and fought Montiel in only his 2nd fight at 118 and iced him. LOL "tiny"

Yeah Darchinyan consistently fell through in big fights, that's why he upset Mijares.

You don't seem to follow boxing closely, you need to do your homework son.

vic was considered a beast at the time and nonito was a huge underdog and vic previously beat gled donaire, nonitos brother...vic was destroying opponents and was pretty much feared and avoided

Hasn't fought a competitive fight in a long time.

Till he fights Rigo, he is over hyped. If you truely believe a 2-time gold medalist does not deserve a shot a donaire, that is just ******. The guy is obviously someone to fear, winning his title in 8 pro fights!

[Hougigo]

How many people here have actually seen mathebula fight?
I don't know who'll win, but if I had to bet, I'd bet on the fight going over 10 rounds

[Elotero]

he has done alot to deserve the praise and p4p ranking...he is the current WBO super bantam weight champ, the former WBC +WBO bantam weight champ, WBA Super fly weight champ and IBF flyweight champ and he has took some titles in epic style with an outstanding KO + Upset of the year win over the then undefeated and feared Vic Darchinyan to get the IBF (+IBO) titles and scored another amazing one punch 2nd round ko over Fernando Montiel ripping the WBC+ WBO Titles from montiel in another KO And upset of the year candidate, this along with being an exciting fighter makes him more that warrent the hype with his last 12 fights being for titles no less than interim and his next fight is yet again a world title unification bout for the WBO + IBF World titles against Jeffery Mathebula....this is an impressive CV!!!!! Future gr8 no doubt dont get the negativity against this fighter that is constantly impressive and exciting along with improving fight by fight!

This is what people are talking about when they say overhyped. 12 fights for titles? Beating Montiel was a candidate for upset of the year? Bringing up the Vic KO in 2012?

[gaz26]

i suppose every1 he beat where bumz then??

[Primera]

I guess I'll be the one to say.

once Donaire steps up to the Mexican competition @ and around his weight class, he will get knocked out.
