Donaire vs. Nishioka ( Saturday night fight thread)

[ICB]

Compukebox averaged Nishioka's punch output at 22 punches a round. So its probably more like 10. For 122 that's beyond pathetic.

That would be pathetic for a 300 pounder let alone a 122 pounder.

Thank God Donaire was throwing or it may have looked like Briggs/Ibragimov

Nishioka's preocupation with Donaire's left hook was beyond annoying. For fuck's sake.... he had it pressed to the side of his face, impairing his own vision. And the few times he dared throw it weakly.... he snapped it right back against his face. That's why I wondered if the marks on his right eye were caused by his own damn glove.

The stoppage itself was weird..... but if the corner had waved it off, I guess the ref had no choice. Nishioka was very disappointing..... I don't see how anyone can blame Donaire for that. Same happened against Omar Narvaez. Bad run of opponents for Nonito.

First fight was phenomenal - my wife stopped watching cause she didn't understand that a crazy bastard like Rios likes it.

As for the second, I guess I see why guys fight Donaire like he'll knock you the hell out. Seems like if you give him a chance, that's exactly what happens. Either way, it's not really his fault guys fight him that way. Feel bad for the guy, in a way...
