I felt Vazquez won the Donaire fight. you should watch that fight without audio and u ll be surprised. Vazquez was touching Donaire with his jab all night long. apart from the knockdown, Donaire didnt win anything in that fight
Donaire overrated and running scared

Unfortunately, there is a business behind boxing. It's not just guys in a park making their own decisions to fight the first one to call them out.
Just because a fighter is called out, they still go through their promoters, have contractual obligations, maybe their managers/promoters already have a plan set for them that they can't just entertain every top offer on the table.
I'd like to see many big fights as much as the next. But we blast the fighters themselves in every case when they're not the ones controlling their fate 100%.
This is prize fighting. And really, because of the nature of the sport, promoters are trying to help their fighters make as much money as possible. To keep their fighters marketable. They may not be looking to do back to back to back super fights. But a mega fighter here and there with some "in betweens" while that sought after megafight is being formalized.
Martinez vs Chavez Jr is a good example to me. So many were speaking of Chavez facing a Kirkland or 168lber or Martinez fighting at 168 or something. But I think they've both been on this crash course. In order to preserve the intrigue, they both need to stay active, but undefeated and handle any mandatory to keep belts until a deal can be reached on the business logistics side of things.
It sucks, but it's a business and each fighter is a brand. Some fight dangerous opposition after dangerous opposition. Some fight dangerous opposition every 2-4 fights. Some fight one or two in an entire career.Comment

i dont care what you think. vazquez was busting up donaire in every round with hard jabs while donaire hit the guard. maybe u should rethink your way of scoring fightsComment

That's simply one of those fights where haters will spend the rest of their lives making a case for Donaire losing.
Yes he got hit more than usual. Like Cotto vs Mayweather. But won convincingly vs an opponent who keeps his guard up well. Like Mayweather vs Cotto.Comment

vazquez barely did anything for almost the first half of the fight...so to say donaire didn't win a round aside from round 9 is wrong. also in round 3 donaire rocked vazquez jr with a left hook and that was easily a donaire round too...Comment

rigo is overrated
since upsetting darchinyan in2007 donaire has had 14 consecutive tilte fights against some of the best fighters in the world...that's a lot of hard work and a long time getting to where he is...why dafuq should some one with 10 fights walk into a gr8 opportunity and huge payday based on amature pedigree???? rigo hasn't earnt it...how would u feel if u was donaire and some nobody that got gifted a title against another nobody walked into a shot at u with out putting the years of work in that u had to put in to get to ur currant standing inthe p4p list???? seriously stop riding rigo's ****..and let him get5 years of title fights experience first and i guarantee u he will lose..nuff said

Donaire is overrated but he's running from a guy who has 10 fights and hasn't fought a single A level fighter.
TS apparently doesn't know the definition of overrated.
