It's that reach man...the same advantage that Floyd enjoys over most of his opponents. If you have a jab and the reach, you should win most fights, the jab is the key to everything.
Great respect by both guys though, awesome fight to start the evening.
I was most surprised by Walters chin. The jab I knew about and his power, but his chin held up well to some big shots early.
He does man, I was impressed by his jab and adjustments. His defence is underrated too. Looking forward to his next fights.
Me too, it's good to see a guy like him (unassuming and kind of green, maybe a little to innocent for his own good) make it to a position with his attributes: exciting, KO artist, technical, respectful. He is a good marketing tool for the sport and can appeal to multiple fan bases.

He did seem to recover very well from those punches. I liked the fact that he made the defensive adjustments to avoid getting hit with the same punches as the fight progressed. His defense is really underrated; Donaire hit him a couple times but he was also able to pepper Donaire with punches.
