Donaire vs. Nishioka ( Saturday night fight thread)

Niice, those are two really good fights. Would've picked Donaire without question before his last couple of fights, but I'm not sure whether he's really the same force having moved up and I think Nishioka has been at the weight forever? Alvarado probably doesn't have the tools to beat Rios I suspect, but that will be fireworks while it lasts. All 4 guys can punch though, anything could happen.

He's been noticeably much bigger then his opponents moving up starting with Sydorenko. In that particular case it looked like he was fighting a boy. He decked Montiel sure but he has lost his power now. Flash or flash in the pan?

Ths is a helluva card. Donaire had better have that twinkle out of his eyes and head out of the cloud here and stop believing he's the 2nd coming of Frazier. Alvarado vs Rios could be contested inside of a walk in closet with Alvarado being taylor made and when its all said and done he'll prob come in the smaller guy. Good bash up whatever the case, hope Mike whips him but don't think so.
