I've watched some of his fights on the Internet (because its rarely shown), and he is technically sound - and I agree that he is vastly underrated and not well known in North America. This is probably because he was fighting for a long time in the lightest weight class - which is why he moved up.

If he gives a good performance on the under-card, maybe next year will be Donnie's breakout year - at least from a financial perspective.
