definitely a disappointing match up for nonito. but maybe he needs an easier opponent this time out after being out of the ring for quite awhile. i do hope they can still find a replacement though, someone more his size.

Don't get me wrong, I think Donaire is an outstanding fighter! But I think this fight will be tougher than many of you are assuming. Sure Narvaez' resume is questionable but the guy can fight!

the problem is donaire has been getting the reputation of fighting opponents not his size. narvaez though a tough undefeated dude is another fighter coming up in weight and the height difference is considerable. if he blows him away he wouldn't get much props from it. it's time he should fight someone his own size to show how really good he is. anyway, this is supposed to be his last fight at bantam. next year i expect better match ups for him.

If Donaire can make the weight, I don't blame him for cleaning out 118, and Narvaez from all accounts is good, but Narvaez is coming up in weight, I just don't see this as being competitive. Furthermore, I don't think this fight is as good as the Agbecko/Mares winner or moving up to fight Arce or the Nish/Marquez winner. I don't see the strategy here either. It's not like he'll get a lot out of fighting Narvaez. It seems like a waste.

Galaxy,
How you been man? Miss the chats we used to have.
Yourself and Eagle always a good chat about the lower weight classes...
Anywhoo... I agree, despite the size advantage if Narvaez has a good/decent chin and can hold on. I think he's elusive enough to give Nonito a good challenge.

ot, another fight i'd like to see is montiel vs. darchinyan at 122lbs. then maybe nonito might consider having a rematch with the winner.

Really good thanks Mick, just really busy with family stuff
Narvaez has never been down! He has great technique & although his opponents have not been elite he's fought tough guys like Asloum, Lazarte, Tamara, Whitfield & Seda. The guy has a world of experience!
