Is it just me, or does anybody else feel like Donaire was just waiting to land that big counter left again in his last 2 matches?

No announcement yet.
Been watching some of Mathebula's fights. He's pretty good.

his style is perfect for donaire.........(a guy that walks into shots with his hands down)
this is not a solid fight at all.
Now your right if Math can't take Nonito's power than its going to end quick. but if he can. Nonito is in for a long night. Jeff throws a lot of punches from all angles.
Not sure what you consider a solid fighter. Math capable of beating the Japanese title holder. The only guys you would make a solid favorites over him are the elite. Rigo, Donaire and Moreno.

All people who can't read just get off the god damn forum.
Who the hell has called him special. Please quote that part for me.

I agree he is a solid fighter though.

Originally posted by ThePhantom5 View PostI think that's a pretty close fight. I think Math is a step up from Marquez right now and though Nishioka was solid in that fight I think the other elite like Rigo, Donaire would have destroyed Rafa right now.

Originally posted by MastrangeloPeople tend to think that way about awkward fighters, the thing is, if you have that kind of height adventage that has against anyone he fights, you can do that other fighters can't. Vitaly Klitschko for example. Also it's worth note that Ndlovu was very tall for a weightclass himself, so this adventage was kinda neutralised by that.
His balance is not the best, that's a fact, but I don't believe he'll be easy to catch with big punches for Donaire and he's definitely not "walking into punches" where did you take that from?
i think he'll be very easy to catch for donaire.........mathebula also is very slow compared to donaire.
total mismatch..............

mathebula vs donaire is a mismatch & a joke of a match (I'll only say it's acceptable as a stay busy fight)
where will you guys be when mathebula gets ko'd with ease? regardless of the results i will bump this thread.
I don't take anything from the caballero fight because cabellro is a ify fighter.........one day he looks brilliant & the next day he's getting shut out by jason litzau.

i haven't seen mathebula...does he somewhat fight like ali funeka? freakish height for his division but doesn't use his reach advantage too much? would rather use a busy work rate?
