Donaire Fought Darchinyan With The Flu

[Tay Roc]

Donaire needs to rededicate himself.

He's only half in right now. He needs to realize if he wants to guarantee a great life for his child, he has to earn a living in the ring. It's not always about passion, it's also a job and a way to feed his family.

Also, he needs to let me get at his wife. She looks amazing with the baby fat and I will treat her very well.

Don't get how people are saying they saw the exact same Donaire as always. In what other fight as he ever averaged 26 punches thrown per round? That's nothing like him. It was low for the Rigo fight as well (but still higher), but that's understandable considering the style he was facing.

That's what I'm thinkin, this ain't the same Donaire I'm used to seeing. Like Kellerman said during the fight and I don't normally agree with him but Donaire didn't look loose enough, he didn't have the same speed and agility. His reflexes were half a step too slow and his work rate was at the very least half of what it normally is.

In fact, there were times when he looked clumsy in there, even in awkward nights against the likes of Methabula and parts of the Narvaez fight he didn't look this awkward. The most surprising part was that Donaire looked like a flat footed brawler and for all you haters, even you gota admit that Donaire is NOT a simple flat footed brawler.

This guy Donaire is a duck. He was on his period that why he went life and death with a old shot small fighter like Darchiniyan.

Arum wanted Donaire to fight Salido for a title but after the Darchiniyan fight he knows that Salido will destroy Donaire and Arum doesn't want to feed Donaire like he did Juanma to Salido.

So no Rigondeaux rematch
So no Salido fight for a title

But let's fight Walter a guy that is unproven and Arum sees as the easiest title holder at 126. I hope Walters KO's Donaire

He was interviewed by Philippine news.

Quote:

"Vic (Darchinyan) was strong, but I couldn't give up the fight," Donaire told Top Rank in Tagalog. " I even have the flu right now, but I had to win this fight for my countrymen who were devastated by the typhoon and the earthquake."

This would explain him looking kinda off throughout the fight. This reminds me of Michael Jordan when he played with the flu against the Utah Jazz. He hit the game winning shot and like Donaire was clutch when it mattered the most.

Cools story bra'.

mofos wanna see the doctor's note

[Souwester]

that would explain his lackluster performance....

Yeah even in the intros he just looked tired. I'm glad he was able to fight through the flu like a champ and KO Darchinyan.

[Souwester]

Yeah when I think Jordan...I think Donaire...

Doniare = Jordan.

They both were clutch in the end.

[Souwester]

How is having the flu an excuse when you knocked the other guy out?

All this proves is that Donaire has the heart of a champion like Jordan

I agree, great point.

Used to like Donaire until he become P4P king at making excuses. Took that crown from Allan Green.

It is always a ***in excuse with Donaire, I actually like the guy but after every fight when he struggles he always have a ***in excuses
