How much of a chance do you give Montiel against Donaire?

[MXboxingfan]

This is about as close to a sure thing as there is in boxing imo. Does anyone give Montiel anything more than a 10% chance to win this fight?


I pray for him.

Fernando Montiel is the second fighter who is actually a good fighter to face Nonito Donaire.

Donaire has been fighting a bunch of weak fighters since his lucky punch win over Vic Darchinyan.

Montiel has the better record.

i like Montiel...helluva fighter...great power


i give him a 40% chance of winning this fight if he can lure Donaire into a war


if not, i see him systematically broken down over the course of 12 rounds

Going to be war..

But i will be rooting for Donaire..

vCash: 1000 Darchinyan VS Donaire, I smell an Upset...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I like Darchinyan, I like KO artist, I like fighters who fights anybody. I've seen a Bunch of Darchinyan fights. Even rate him top of the 112 & top 15 P4P.

I've seen only about 3 fights of Nonito in youtube. But I met the guy & his Brother Glen personally twice at a Party & we talk a lot about Boxing. He said he beat Jason Litzau in the Amateur. Also they thought that they we're robbed by the Judges when he fought Viloria in the Olympic trials. He is supposed to be lined up against Arce but Arce lost to mijares. That's why I'm not surprised when I heard he got This title shot.

Based on my observation Donaire is very skillfull, quick with his hands & feet, has some Power, full of confidence, very smart, in short he's the Filipino version of PBF. Personality wise this guy are way different than his Brother Glen who is the Shy or low key guy. Nonito, in the Parties that we've been in, is the light of the dancefloor. He dances all night long proves he has an endless stamina. Good dancer too means he has good Hand, eye & feet coordination.

The only question is... can he handle Vic's Power?? I ask his cornermen if he has a good chin, they say he was woobled once but recovered & KO the opponent shortly.

I've seen replay of the dachinyan-Pacheco fight, in this fight Pacheco was outboxing Vic, Then the fireworks interrupt the fight, Vic recovered & KOed Pacheco shortly. Pacheco is one of the tallest fighter Vic has fought.

The reason I smell upset is because Nonito is a Legit 5'6" & a half. he's quicker & he can move. Vic will have a hardtime finding him. Nonito has a lethal left hook & I see them landing everytime Vic tries to attack. I don't think Darchinyan can be KOed, but I see Donaire outboxing him in a lopsided fashion. Kinda like what Mijares did to ARce.


This is my original prediction on Donaire vs Darchinyan.

I think Montiel will have a better fight than Darchi but it will be the same ending. Donaire will KO Montiel.

I give him this much of a chance........ |______________________|

[sicko]

that is a MEGA FIGHT IMO!!!

I honestly don't know who will be the favorite though, I would call it EVEN, I like both fighters so I don't care who wins...JUST AS LONG AS THEY FIGHT!!!

[Chups]

Is it only me that thinks someone will fake an injury? Sometimes it's too good to be true

Exactly!!!!!

[Dambala]

I was thinking the same before his fight with Hasegawa and look what happened. Montiel is a strong bantamweight who can punch and counter really well. His experience against better opposition might help him here. I'm rooting for him.

I will favor Donaire in this fight.

However, Montiel is easily the best opponent Donaire has ever fought.

I wouldn't say Donaire is the best opponent Montiel ever fought.

So is going to be interesting, a very good fight, I take Donaire. But, we'll see what happens.
