Donaire vs. Nishioka ( Saturday night fight thread)

[Mars_ax]

Good night of Boxing so far, the main up next- Nonito Donaire vs. Toshiaki Nishioka, 12 rounds, for Donaire's WBO/IBF junior featherweight title.

Not to underestimate Nishioka, but I can't see him being a problem for Donaire.

On paper sure but I have an affinity for the underdog.

Dont like Nishioka mannerism and corner. It ALL left hook weary...seed planted... and once it does land, that dont help.

WTF is Nishioka doing in there? Crowd becoming restless.

Nishioka just seems to be trying to survive, so far he looks like anything but a Pro fighter.

[Mars_ax]

Nishioka gets caught with a left upper cut in the 6th round and goes down, at last a bit of action.

[Kirkland Laing]

What a let down after the last fight. You've got to feel sorry for Donaire. He needs to put on a great performance but Nishioka just doesn't want to know. Hopefully Donaire manages to knock the fucker out.

THis is a terrible fight, Donaire needs to be matched up properly for a change he doesn't lead well.

Finally something worth watching

[TitoFan]

Gentlemen..... it appears a fight has broken out in the middle of the 6th round.

[ICB]

Donaire actually started to get caught after that knockdown, but the punches seemed to have no effect on Donaire.

[Mars_ax]

Neither fighter doing much in the 1st round, and Nishioka doing next to nothing.

[Mars_ax]

Compared to Rios/Alvarado, this has been a snoozer so far.

[Spicoli]

Nishioka is punching from the backseat and as an after thought. The left of Donaire has already effected him and Donaire hasn't even landed it
