HBO B.A.D Donaire - Jeffrey Mathebula + Undercard. RBR and Discussion

[crold1]

Got it 5-3 ND. Math boxed well in 8

[mathed]

Mathebula takes the 8th rd....5-3 plus a kd, Donaire...Nonito is getting caught trying to be flashy because the crowd is booing.

[Hougigo]

Donaire after the fight:
My opponent didn't come to fight.
What he said his last three fighs

[New England]

What's this? Second or third Donaire fight that you hear boo's in?

when he's not spectacularly knocking guys out or flying around the ring he's pretty ordinary
and his face gets touched up, too.

[dan_cov]

Pointless fighting Donaire, you can outland him at a 5/1 ratio and land the better punches and still lose the round.

WTF you got to do too even win a round against this guy?

Bias load of **** if you ask me.

[markfrombrookly]

For this guy to be as big as he is he fights like a scared female.

[MalikKnucklez]

I don't see how anybody can give Mathebula more than 2 rounds here....maybe 3....

With that said, I'm more confident than i was yesterday that a solid/power counterpuncher levels Donaire.

[Shoulder Roll]

Me me. That's what I got right now.

I give Mathebula 8th, 76 75 Bula. Potential for an upset? Of course, knowing the judging, it'll prob be a UD for Donaire no matter what.

[Silencers]

Mathebula won the 8th IMO, because again, Donaire was just looking for the big shot. Mathebula just kept his arms moving and peppered Donaire. 4-4 in round but Donaire up 1 because of the knockdown.

Yeah he does look like he's slowed some but I bet he's still able to throw fight-ending bombs each and every round until the final bell.

Too bad that won't work vs actually skilled fighters tho no?
