Let's say donaire doesnt beat vazquez as easily as expected.. Would any of you ride with Nishioka?

Whatever happens in February, I think Nishioka will give Donaire yhe fight of his life.
It's a toss up imho and I wouldnt be shocked to see either guy win.

I believe Donaire has too many tricks up his sleeve for Nishioka BUT Nishioka is a live dog. This is the type of fight I want to go see live. High skill level and probably decent ticket prices because lighter weight class.

I expect the Jackal to walk through Ramos on 1/20 and Donaire to beat Vasquez Jr. If the Jackal then beat someone like Shimoda or Ndlovu in the meantime and then a match with Donaire/Nishioa winner, Junior featherweight would have a heck of 2012.

Oh definitely.. Donaire-Nishioka is a fight for the purists and this is the type of matchup that keeps me up at nights.. Way more intriguing than Floyd-Pac for instance.. Donaire-NIshoka and Kev-Burns are two fights im looking forward to the most this year bruh!!

Beetlejuice is gonna get wrecked by Rigo in his own backyard and Ill probably attend that fight live in Anaheim if tickets are still available.. Play at Disneyland in the daytime and watch the fight at night! what a day..

Good fight. Like someone said earlier. I would expect Donaire to win based on Nishiokas performance against Munroe. Saying that, styles make fights and these two guys styles should match each other well. I think Nishioka has better speed but Donaire has better power. I expect Nishioka to look good keeping the fight a draw up till around the ninth when Donaire will knock him out.

Huh

I think "craftiness" is the only place Nishioka has any advantage here. Donaire is definitely faster, and hits harder.

Pretty good fight but Donaire is a class above Nishioka.
