Darchinyan to protest result!

I don't understand why they went to the cards anyway because Donaire said he couldn't continue after walking away.

Gary Shaw promotes Donaire as well as VIC. I think he didn't want Donaire to be embarrased too much so he can still get a few decent fights out of him in the near future.

Donaire = "quitter" - thats about it.

Donaire said he didn't hurt me at all but I guess his jaw was hurt lol.

You see that expression on Vic's face... it pretty mush says "WTF, why did this guy quit on me like this, I wanted to flatten him on the canvas"

I never thought that the time will come when I'll say this about a boxer and a promoter, but here goes:

Garry Shaw should give Donaire up. Donaire is bad for Shaw's reputation; and Shaw's name is not even prestine.

nonito had a better chance than glenn. he has a history of quitting.

Hi there flip, ol' buddy!

Yes, if there is any hope left for the Donaire clan, it's the younger Nonito, Jr. Packs the bigger punch. Hope he has the big heart to go with it, pal. The picture at the SuperFly division, in which he plies his trade, demands both.

Winning is the object of the game; losing need not be all that bad if one loses even as one gave his all. The way Glen Donaire lost to Z Gorres and then to Darchinyan makes one steam; makes Suico look a lot better in losing to Juan Diaz.

Boxing is sometimes called, "the fight game". If one takes the fight out of the game, then one doesn't have any game at all, and therefore should not only quit fights, but quit the game altogether.

Good to see, ya buddy!

Nonito was rocked in his 2nd to last fight I saw him in. He was going for the kill and got caught. I don't see his chin standing up to Vic either. Forget them 2 bros, they are done me thinks. I also think if this was true about a broken jaw, we need to give Paulie Malignaggi a lot more credit for going from the 2nd round up with that busted jaw/swelling on his face in the Cotto fight. Kid might talk a lot of trash though he has heart to go with it.

Arce would go into hiding again, hehe. Vic is tired of calling Arce.

[TomRiddle]

a very bad call.

There is definitely no head-butt, elbow, nothin.

Donaire simply QUIT and didn't want to look like a QUITTER.

Lets make DARCHINYAN -vs- ARCE happen cuz you know no one will quit in that one till the end.

see...I told yah!

I cant blame Donaire.
It was a very clear mismatch, he's not ready for VIc.

Jorge Arce would be the man for him.

Yeah. I'm looking at Nonito's prospects guardedly.

With respect to the jaw, yes there have been many instances where courageous fighters fight with busted jaws--Ali's being perhaps the most famous, then there was Mali as among the recent ones, and Abraham as the latest beofre the Donaire case.

But I see it as equally a testament to the courage of Ali, et al, as it is an indication of the lack of "fight" in Donaire, who had quit before against Z Gorres-- that time complaining about a vision problem, after having been hit by a left hook.

I also recall-- hazily, I must admit-- visiting the Philippines some years back, and watching on TV a Glen Donaire fight against a Filipino pug whose name I cannot recall. It was a delayed telecast, I think, of a card held earlier in a Manila suburb.

I remember the TV commentators saying prior to the start of the first round that Donaire had just gone through some marital problems and had just resumed his boxing career.

The first few rounds was better characterized not by blows exchanged but by Donaire complaining several times about fouls that only he knew about. Some time in the fourth round (I think, it was, but I'm not sure), he turned his back on his opponent and appeared to give up. The ref did not have any other choice but to declare the opponent winner. But, when the ref was about to do so, Donaire again complained--acting so much like a child with tantrums. Nonetheless, I recall the ref raising the opponent's arm.

I've scanned Donaire's record from whatever sources that are available to me, but could not, for the life of me, find any trace of that fight.

I've spoken by phone to the fellas who watched that fight with me on TV, and they recall the very same things I do. It's not easy to forget any fight that turned out that way, is it?

That was the first time I saw a Glen Donaire fight. Later, when I saw what he did in the Gorres meeting, I realized that I somehow seemed to have half-expected it. The more so after viewing Darchinyan-Donaire.

Sadly, Donaire, coming after the lackadaisical showing of Villoria, cannot contribute much to boxing's appeal in the Philippines. Jaca must do a lot better against JMM, even if (many say, "when") he loses.

Pacquiao, Bautista and Gorres have their work cut out for them.

Edit:Or, maybe, just maybe, Nonito shall make it his career mission to redeem the Donaire name.
