Comments Thread For: Donaire Focused on Making a Statement on November 9

[HanzGruber]

what kind of statement can he make, by fighting a guy he already kod 6 years ago???

This is true..But I think Donaire brought it upon himself with all the excuse after the loss!!
Pacquiao loses badly and everyone still respects him!! Why bc he took his loss like a man...no excuses!!

lolwut, pac is still saying jmm got a lucky punch. But he did take the bradley loss in stride and not cry for months about it, atleast i dont remember he did

exactly what i was thinking...

this **** is so f0cking lame move by nonito

Let the no hopers tour begin. I had a dream that Bob Arum set up a fight with Donaire-Juanma for a vacant title at 126 and Juanma knock Donaire out cold.

Arum and Dunkin are going to make sure that Donaire takes the easiest route to restart his mega star status. They are tying to sweep that ugly Rigondeaux loss under the rug and make the gullible Filipino fans believe the hype which I think Filipino don't even care or like Nonito.

Whats the point of fighting Rigo again if he clearly lost by UD?
With Darchinyan, there will be no KO. Vic was stopped only once when he simply underestimated his opponent and got caught. 2 judge score cards were 38:38

Donaire Will comeback

The fight is at 126, Vic has no chance. This is Donaire beating on a old smaller fighter yet again on HBO to look good. That fight with Arce was terrible haha and a waste of HBO slot for another fighter

I love how Donaire loses to arguably the most complete fighter in the sport right now, and all of a sudden EVERYONE hates him.

Love how Donaire loses to arguably that -most complete fighter-.

Yet no mention of Rigo in his forecast? Very pathetic.

Also, a lot of you guys act like comeback fights have always been sought as competitive fights... De La Hoya-Forbes anyone??

Very seldom is this the case. Generally, when you're as (basically) undefeated as Donaire was, your first loss being as bad as it was, you're probably going to take a tune-up fight that you know you'll win. Losing can become habitual, believe it or not. Give Donaire time to bring his confidence back up to the fighter he was instead of instantly throwing him back in with the sharks.

Besides, he's making drastic adjustments in training camp since the Rigo fight. He plans to work with Garcia full time instead of the last week in training camp.

Also, for those of you acting like his shoulder injury is fake or minor, you're only displaying complete ignorance. I am in the medical field, and the fact that a physician suggested surgery for Donaire's shoulder show's it was fairly significant. Otherwise, if it were minor, he could simply go through physical therapy and be through with it.


No, I am not being biased. Hilariously enough, I've been riding the Rigo train since he turned pro and have always been rather 'meh' toward Donaire. I'm just incredibly annoyed at the ignorance and double standards "fans" place on fighters.

Finally, the end of Vic Darchinyan. That loud mouth has annoyed me long enough. It will be nice to see Nonito splatter him again, I wonder what his excuse will be this time.

Darchinyan is a two division world champion not three.
