Donaire vs. Nishioka ( Saturday night fight thread)

[TitoFan]

I've seen some bad stoppages in my life..... but this guy takes the prize.
He basically RAN in after the first shot Nonito landed after the knockdown and IMMEDIATELY stopped the fight.

Maybe he was dying to go home like the rest of the public.

Sigh...

[Gandalf]

It was awful and just as the fight seemed to be waking from some kind of centuries old slumber too.

Poor, poor stoppage.

[Spicoli]

Max is way outta line with that weak horseshit about "robbed" in Alvarado v Rios. Just to ask the question on stoppage because main event sucked is crap. STOP!!!!! throwing Gatti Ward into every damn conversation and as a criteria for what qualifies as two guys "doing enough" to satisfy us. Alvardo was DONE....and I;m no fan of Rios. Rant done

[ICB]

I still can't believe this is the same guy i see look impressive vs Munroe, and win a 3 round war vs Gonzalez.

I couldn't agree with you more, he acts like a sadist at times, like he enjoys seeing a helpless fighter get his face smashed. I'm serious as hell, Max is a freak!

Smart move by Nishioka's corner I would say.

i ddont wana seem like the hindishgt is twnty twenty guy but i called it a mismatch to my bud right befire it started, nishioa is 36cwhch might as well be 50 for aything below 140 and he had been out the ring for a year....

[Beanz]

Both opponents flattered to deceive a little. If you stand in front of Rios he looks far more effective than he need be, go all gun shy in front of Donaire and he looks much more invincible than he really is. Nishioka was very disappointing and was clearly looking to counter all night and take Donaire out late or merely survive for one last pay day. Not a great plan when your opponent is younger and busier than you are. It makes Rendall Munroe look far more beatable when he meets Quigg on the Hatton undercard.

Yup, I didn't think Nishioka had much of a chance either and when the fight started he did practically nothing for the 1st 5 rounds.

[p4pking]

It was a terrible stoppage, but at the same time Nishioka didn't deserve to be in there. Wonder if the ref was somehow instructed to stop it first chance Donaire landed something

[Abelardus]

Nishioka was a bitch. Ive been looking forward to this fight even watched his highlights and thought "damn this guy is good" just to watch him be a coward, I hope he knows he embarrassed himself and just about all of Japan. At least the rios-Alvarado fight was entertaining. Donaire needs to move up in weight.
