Nonito Donaire vs. Omar Narvaez Saturday fight/chat thread

[p4pking]

Donaire landed some good shots in the 4th, turning it up... Narvaez has excellent instincts under pressure and takes a great shot it seems though, I think Donaire is looking a bit anxious.

[ICB]

Narvaez landed some good jabs, i got him winning this round and i have him 3-2 up.

[p4pking]

I wonder if anyone labelling this a mismatch had actually seen Narvaez fight? I'm certainly impressed, Donaire is missing almost everything and looks the worse for wear. Size is the only advantage he has so far.

I think Garcia nailed it, he's trying to hard....set it up and earn the hurt. Narvaez is slipping into prevent defense, but its a solid one yeh.

[ICB]

I don't think Donaire landed any punches in that round, its just Narvaez didn't punch at all so you have to give the round to Donaire 3-3.

This is a more competitive fight then most imagined it would be, it's starting to look like it might go the full 12 rounds.

[ICB]

Narvaez might of won that round technically, but Donaire threw so many more punches tough round.

[Mars_ax]

Lederman has Donaire winning every round, I tend to agree, just because he's busier.

[p4pking]

I'd be surprised if this didn't go 12 at this point... Looks like Narvaez is getting close to just surviving, he hasn't been countering the same way he did in the first few rounds. Tough as hell though.

[ICB]

Donaire edged the round with the 2 right hands, i got it 5-3 Donaire. Narvaez just doesn't throw enough punches its exactly like Martinez vs Barker.

Crowd is booing but I'm enjoying this fight. Narvaez is not a chump....he is just sticking to what he knows and not allowing himself to deviate

[ICB]

6-3 Donaire i think Narvaez is putting on an excellent defense display, but he don't throw nowhere near enough punches.

[p4pking]

Donaire needs to go to the body more, he's hitting nothing but gloves up top its just Narvaez is barely throwing back.

[Spicoli]

Donaire thinks he can dap gloves with ref after being warned three times. Ego.

I don't give to many passes...he needs to step it up and not just settle on 'tomorrow' like a Roy suggests. He's dominating it and its his stage to dictate.

So glad Jones said that about Narvaez to Kellerman
