Can Nishioka outwork Donaire to a decision?

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

Can he? Sure. Mathebula almost did it. Will he? Nope. Those cards will be filled out after the weigh ins. Nishioka has to beat Arum and the judges too.

I voted yes he can. I think it's an even fight. They are both great fighters but Donaire keeps moving up in weight out of his natural weight class and it could cost him. Nishioka is a bigger man. He looks like a piece of steel compared to Danaire who looks a little soft. Donaire has youth on his side. This is the best against the best and a great match.

you mean donaire is starting to fight guys his own size for a change.

I think nishioka is more than capable of beating donaire by decision especially if donaire decides to go head hunting in this fight. that **** ain't gonna work against nishioka. its not gonna rattle him and he's not gonna fall for those weak traps. donaire is better served by tying to box and even then it'll be rough going for him IMO. unless nishioka aged overnight which is. also possible because he hasn't been in the ring for about a. year.

Like many others have said already, if Donaire goes head hunting he can definitely lose a decision. I have plenty of faith he knows that and will use his full range of skills, though losing a fight because he tried to headhunt might be what he needs right now.

Yes, especially if Donaire puts too much emphasis on looking for the counter left hook. This fight right here could go either, I could also see both fighters hitting the canvas too.

I'd personally be a bit shocked if donaire were to hit the canvas considering he has never been dropped and he's fought some hard hitters and taken some hard shots. but i guess you never know...nishioka is a strong puncher.

I wouldn't, Donaire at times tends to get a little wild with his foot work and Nishioka can capitalize on that.

[Hougigo]

If Donaire just loads up and looks for that one punch, I think Nishioka can beat him.

Well... he's been doing that] for a while. Wouldn't be surprised if he does that again

[Larry the boss]

Donaire better not sit there loading up on 1 shot all night posing in the ring like his last fight

I think Donaire is really gonna come with it though, when it came time for it against his biggest foes, he always delivered. He knows exactly whats it front of him.
