Comments Thread For: Donaire Says Arce is The Foe That He Always Wanted

[Hindsight 20/10]

For Donaire, Arce represents the path of least resistance. I thought after Mathebula, Nonito would give the fans a fight that they want. I don't think Arce was on top of any fan's list.

Thought so to, I thought he was gunning for Nishioka; at least that's what I thought he said?! But I guess good old uncle, Godfather Bob started pulling on some strings and now we're hearing Arces name coming out Nonitos mouth. Getting our hopes up w/Nishioka and letting us down w/Arce. Nice!!! Thanks TR!!! Uncle Bob you have done a ****ED UP JOB AGAIN!!!!

Fixed it for you. You're welcome.

Thank You, but im not sure that is correct or if you are capable of original thought. Most People thought Donaire would easily KO Vasquez and that did not happen. I know it was because Vasquez was afraid to throw a punch for the first four rounds and after seeing Donaire break Mathebula jaw, im not sure the other fighters will want to risk that kind of beating, thats all. One thing we know is that Jorge Arce will fight anyone and is not easily KOed the way you mentioned. I think Donaire will win and the match will be a fight of the year canidate, but Arce deserves more of my respect than someone who changes a post and thinks they are clever. Now i bid you a Good Day

Of course he is, let's be real Donaire didn't look like a top 5 or even a top 10 p4p candidate in his last fight and that's because he went out of his confort zone and fought a guy that wasn't below 5'4. Arce is a true warrior but at this stage he can no longer be competitive with a fast guy like Donaire. Donaire feeds on come forward brawlers and that's what all Arce is at this point.

I think Mijares would have given him trouble also as he jabs really well and Donaire doesn't seem to know like jabbers very much.

Arce isn't a terrible fight or anything, given he beat WV2 at 122, but it just sounds like Donaire is going to leave 122 without fighting Rigondeaux, Mares, or even Nishioka.

If Donaire fights Arce in October, I want to see Mares fight Nishioka later this year.

I personally only see Darchinyan, Montiel and Mathebula as his best wins.

Pretty sad you see Mathebula as a best win... The guy is uncoordinated and sucks... But not your fault, it's Donaire's.

Money of course it's not rocket science

Thank god this jackass was banned. He red K'ed me for suggesting Pedro Diaz ("cause he's Cuban") for Ortiz.

donaire has turned into a huge disappointment. for him and his fans its always "next time i'll fight someone good". when is he gonna run outta next times?

Nope his fans are pretty much still behind him at full force. Like this guy I quoted below. He thinks it's Top Rank................... When Donaire just clearly said Arce is who he wants even tho in the post fight interview he said he wanted Mares and Nishioka. What a load of **** huh?

Thought so to, I thought he was gunning for Nishioka; at least that's what I thought he said?! But I guess good old uncle, Godfather Bob started pulling on some strings and now we're hearing Arces name coming out Nonitos mouth. Getting our hopes up w/Nishioka and letting us down w/Arce. Nice!!! Thanks TR!!! Uncle Bob you have done a ****ED UP JOB AGAIN!!!!

Yea... blame Top Rank...

I've been saying this for years about Donaire.

Also last week I stated that I wouldn't be shocked if he faced Arce next and moved up.

Part one is complete.....just wait till after October to see him move on without facing Mares, Rigo or Nishioka.

I don't see him cleaning out the division since he said he planned on moving up in weight again. This fight is ******.

Oh btw, those excusing Donaire for looking bad vs Mathebula cause he had to chase Mathebula instead of being able to counter. Let's compare that to Sergio's, a REAL P4P fighter, last fight. Sergio came out expecting a come forward Macklin but turned out Macklin switched his strategy up and decided to be more defensive. What did Sergio do during the course of fight up till the 11th? He was adjusting little by little, timing his straight left better and better every time and ended up annihilating Macklin. That's what REAL champions and P4P fighters do, they adjust and finish their opponents in good fashion.

Instead Donaire get's the KD and proceeds to wild swinging not knowing how to finish his opponent off and having rounds stolen from him.

Another Manny Pacquiao skipping the best contenders in divisions but acts like he is the best,any one of those fight is better then washed up Arce,i guess Rigo can have a good laugh knowing Donaire is scared shtless of him.

[richardt]

i guess Rigo can have a good laugh knowing Donaire is scared shtless of him.

The laugh is on Rigo who is scared shtless of moving on with his life and fighting someone else. Looks like Rigo prays to the Donaire God for a handout.....no life outside of Donaire?? Flowers don't bloom, babies don't cry, Rigo doesn't fight someone without Donaire's conscent??? Guess that shows how powerful Donaire is and Rigo is his Peasant.
