Nonito has a big fight in February against Vasquez. While I can think of a few opponents I would prefer to see Nonito fight, it's his first fight at 122 and against someone who compares in size to Donaire. Thus, I understand why Donaire took this fight. However, I view February's fight as a baby step in terms of Donaire's progression because Vasquez isn't on his level in terms of skill. This post may be a bit premature, but it's worth mentioning because I can easily see it happening: I don't want to see Donaire face Arce at 122. There are just too many fights out there that are much better. If you take into consideration the bantamweight division where there are good challengers in Mares, Agbecko and Moreno, and the guys at super bantamweight in Rigonadeaux, Ramos, Nishioka, Kratingdaengym, Arce is just a poor choice for his next fight. I understand Arum said that Nishioka was open to a fight in the late Spring, which would be a fantastic fight, but if it can't happen, here's hoping that Donaire makes a better decision than Arce. Arce is a popular fighter and it may be the best financial option. It's just not the best option. That is all.
