Donaire Fought Darchinyan With The Flu

[Dr Rumack]

yah donaire looked sluggish, very hesitant to throw, his movement and punches weren't quick or as sharp as they used to be...anyone could see that was not the donaire we are used to seeing...the excuses donaire is making could all be true, but it's better for him just to stay quiet because it just gives more fodder for his haters...

He really needs to take note of his public image at this point and shut the **** up. Even people who defend him will get sick of this rubbish after every damn fight.

I think Donaire needs to take a long break and decide if he really wants to do this any more. If he still wants to fight he'll come back. If not, then he can hang them up knowing he had a great career.

Poor excuse by Donaire, give Vic his credit. But why are people so upset with Donaire for saying this, yet were so accepting of Floyd and his flu excuse for Cotto and he didn't even knock him out.

Donaire needs to spend more time with Robert if he wants to be a better fighter.

I agree, it's a poor excuse from Donaire. But who knows, maybe it's true. I doubt it though. And I'm not sure if Robert can make him any better.

In the case of Floyd, it was different because during fight week, there was footage of him blowing his nose on camera more than once, and on another day during a presser, his voice was obviously hoarse. Dan Rafael straight up asked him on camera if he's feeling 'under the weather.' It was so obvious. But Floyd tried to deny it, said he just got up.

Nonito has excuses now even when he wins now. Lol what a Shame.

[Russian Crushin]

Boxing fans are so fickle. So he just mentioned he had the flu, so what?

[boxinggod101]

Did you compared his performance to the one Jordan had vs Utah?? LOL Donaire looked sick to you? Come on Son!!! I dont like fighters giving excuses after the fight.

[JaYDeuce11]

I'll never forget when Donaire took his gloves off to reveal his hand after a fight. Even after winning he makes excuses...that threw me off right away from this guy. He aint, wont and never will be Pacquiao. He said he would rsther be the first Donaire, but that would just being someone who was good and not legendary

[Nooblet]

seriously Donaire always has a ****ing excuse. this dude is so full of himself. i hope he gets ko'd

[Souwester]

KO'ing montiel (the unified WBC/WBO bantamweight champion, ranked #1 at bantamweight, and who was ranked top ten p4p by ring) is what solidified his spot at the top ten p4p.... and mares struggled against darchinyan too and was even dropped! so was he exposed as well?

Yup, Montiel was P4P Top 10 at the time and Donaire brutally KO'd him in round 2.

[Souwester]

This guy pulls off a last second come from behind win and people are hating on him?!?! If you replace donaires name with most anyone else near the weight everyone would be singing the praises of that fighter.

You said it right!

If that were true and I mean IF that were true, yeah that would explain a lot and I'd have major respect for him getting the job done when he had to and he had his back to the wall. But I don't know what to think. It really is always something with this guy.
