Some people should play out in their mind what they say before they speak. Not good nonito. Ask the Hawaiian punch that style don't last.

More like Nonito only goes for knock outs against bums.

Its funny, Nonito loves to talk he loves the art of fighting, and studies it religiously, and looks up to Bruce Lee, yet Rigo uses the sweet science to shut down everything Donaire could try and do, and not Nonito wants to talk like he’s a Maidana now and only like to throw knock out shots.

So, we have a fighter who:

1. Is willing to publicly admit that he didn't study tapes of his last opponent even though the opponent was a two-time Olympic gold medalist with a superb amateur background.
2. Has made repeated excuses for his lopsided loss to said opponent.
3. Complained about difficulties making weight after his loss, but had only fought at that weight three times previously and didn't mention weight after knocking out his last two opponents.
4. Has ballooned to 145 pounds, nearly 20 pounds above the weight class he's discussed moving up to.
5. Works with a trainer who trains out of a gym in Oxnard but says he isn't yet sure where he's going to train for his next fight.
6. Fights "to entertain", apparently even if that means getting systematically dismantled by a fighter he believes he has the skills to beat.

And this is what passes for a supposedly credible pound-for-pound top 10 fighter today? I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
