Re: Nonito Donaire vs. Omar Narvaez on HBO Saturday
Nonito will blast this guy, could probably do it with his camera in his hand and take a pic before narvaez hits the ground. Sucks nonitio doesn't fight better guys.

Seriously though, I think he's got a big task ahead of him, and Donaire will have too much for him. As for Huck, KO middle rounds, and I actually fancy Lyell to upset Britsch, as he's been matched quite hard recently, and Britsch is the quintessential German 25-0, that is this is his first real test.

He'll be looking up at the lights before he has even leaned half way back. Way too small an opponent and too slow IMO also. He looked like a midget fighting at 114. The guy is smaller than Sodorenko or what ever his name was, and he was a midget.
Donaire by KO when ever he decides to step up the gears and let the leather go. Really looking forward to seeing Donaire in action again though. Looking for him to make some huge fights next year...
If Narvaez is "way too small, and way too slow" then Donaire will demolish him in just a few rounds. Donaire has devastating punching power, and boxing skills to go along with it.
Agreed..... Honestly. I've watched four
Narvaez fights now. I see no way in hell for him to survive 12 never mind beat Donaire. The joke thing about this is, Donaire moved up in weight, smashed Montiel into next week, is still getting bigger and better, and then fights a smaller guy again than his last three opponents guy that is coming up from 114. How do you find a smaller guy?? Just doesn't make sense. Not that I won't be watching of course. But it is a total mismatch IMO.
I don't actually see Donaire having to push himself to the wall until he gets to atleast 126 though and fights either Rigondeaux or Nishioka..
I agree with what's in bold. This is somewhat of a joke. I guess they want one last fight at 118 before he moves up to 122. It's a dumb fight though because Donaire already beat the best at 118 in Montiel and the only other fights worth mentioning at 118 would be against Mares or Agbecko. Thus, this is sort of a waste. Narvaez has never lost though so that brings in an element of unknown. The problem is he's 5'3. I need to watch a little tape on him. I'll watch it because Donaire is fun to watch.
Nishioka allegedly wants a little time off before the Donaire fight so we should expect that in June with an Arce fight in the beginning of the year, but Arce is who he should be facing now because the outcome will be the same - another easy win for the Flash. Frankly, he needs to step up the competition sooner than later. I favor him over Nishioka, but it's a good test to gauge where he's at.
If you haven't already, go check out the KO of Hernan Tyson Marquez. That uppercut was deadly. I actually see this fight being a little like that one but Donaire has got better since Marquez so I bet he knocks Narvaez out earlier.

Omar Narvaez: Quiet Storm Finally Hits The Big Time - Boxing News
There's a good article on Omar Narvaez. It convinced me a little that he has a slightly better chance than I originally gave him.

I'm sure Omar will come to fight, but he'd better just hope that Donaire doesn't, because Donaire has every advantage in this fight, including size, power, and lightening quick reflexes.
cheers

100% slightly better than no chance at all. Where does this win rank against Nonito's other wins? Behind Montiel and Darchinyan but above the rest?

I really don't know, Montiel and Darchinyan were big challenges, even though Narvaez has a fine record in title fights, he doesn't appear to be much of a threat in this one. Donaire just seems to be on a different level, I hope i'm wrong and we see a competitive fight saturday, on paper at least, it looks to be a good matchup.

It won't be a competitive fight. Donaire will just surgically punish Narvaez.

There's dishing out a beating, and then there's the kind of surgical punishment that requires a scalpel and a saline drip! I'm not predicting that crushing a defeat for Donaire though, as Narvaez is tough and compact, and won't be easy to break down.
Re: Nonito Donaire vs. Omar Narvaez Saturday fight/chat thread
Saturday night beginning live @ 9:30 PM EST in North America or @ 2:30 to 3:30 AM Sunday across the pond on Sky maybe?
October 22
At New York (HBO): Nonito Donaire vs. Omar Narvaez, 12 rounds, for Donaire's WBC/WBO bantamweight titles.
and perhaps if they show it: Miguel Angel "Mikey" Garcia vs. Juan Carlos Martinez, 10 rounds, featherweights.
"El Huracán" Narvaez is an undefeated slugger from Argentina, so he might give Donaire a big test:
Omar Andres Narvaez - Boxer
Also from across the pond in Deutschland:
At Ludwigsburg, Germany: Marco Huck vs. Rogelio Omar Rossi, 12 rounds, for Huck's WBO cruiserweight title; Dominick Britsch vs. Billy Lyell, 12 rounds, middleweights.

Re: Nonito Donaire vs. Omar Narvaez Saturday fight/chat thread
I hate Huck points victory for him.
Re: Nonito Donaire vs. Omar Narvaez Saturday fight/chat thread
I really couldn't care less about tomorrow's fight. Donaire is the size of my thumb nail and the other guy is as the size of an atom. It just doesn't interest me in the slightest and so I won't even bother watching.
