        Why does this point seem to be lost to most of the forum, I don't get it? Do most posters just read results on boxrec then come on here and comment about fights they didn't see?

          he took his soul and after that he fought Agbeko and his next fight is against Sod Kokietgym whose last fight was against a guy who jus debuted in professional boxing. what a career boost

            I like Donaire but he moved up too many weight classes. When he was a fly-super flyweight he had a lot more speed and power. Kind of like what Danny Romero did when he moved up to super-bantam from flyweight. But at least Donaire still has power.

              Nah. It's a fighters job to win. I'm not giving the opponent an advantage from headbutts.

                i dont blame donaire. i dont like how they purposely waited until after the fourth then stopped it right away knowing donaire was ahead. i hate to see a fighter lose his title and get an L on his record under circumstances like that, it should have been a NC imo.

                also, lol at the guy who said donaire should have had a second KD. that right hand clearly missed by a mile, vetyaka slipped on the logo.

                      Several reasons:

                      - fight week attracts casuals - led is ATG poster but referring to others
                      - people love to criticise
                      - didn't actually watch it
                      - can't appreciate how tough boxing actually is
