Donaire vs. Nishioka ( Saturday night fight thread)

[ICB]

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

I wish Donaire would knock him down more so we can see some action.

Nishioka landed some at the end of the round, it seems like he can land. I don't know why he just don't go out on his shield and really try to win.

omg that was a beauty of a punch

that straight right hand almost made the rest of the snore fest worth watching lol ... or maybe im just glad it ended lol

I was there. Don't know if it showed up on hbo but nishiokas corner ran into the ring to stop the fight. Home Depot center is the best place to ever watch a fight.

Really cool that you got to go it. How big was the crowd? Why do you think Home Depot Center is great venue? It didn't really show that they came in. Also, Nonito's left hand was bloody, like it was in a photograph I saw of him training before the fight. New Gloves, maybe?

Well for one, this was my first time watching boxing in an outdoor venue which is a pretty unique experience. Previously, I had only seen boxing in arenas and one time in a baseball stadium. The Home Depot Center is a soccer field on one side and tennis courts on the other. The tennis courts are where they stage the fight has a real gladiator style feel. It's a complete stadium that puts literally EVERY fan in a good seat and that's not just hyperbole, it's true. Luckily I was able to be ringside but even when I had to go upstairs to get water and use the restroom, the seats above the top row that people bought for $40 were better than $100 seats you would get in a typical arena setup. It is cool to see guys like Barrera, Chavez and RJJ interacting with dozens of fans at a time. Plus the fans there (7,833 fans) seemed very knowledgeable compared to fans in the Bay Area.

WTF was that ?
