Nonito Donaire vs. Jorge Arce Saturday night fight/chat thread

[Gandalf]

I think the main event is appalling and so won't bother with boxing this weekend. Donaire sends me to sleep anyway. It takes something special to keep me away from boxing and Donaire is that. Yawn.

Does he Miles I think he is a fantastic Champion, very underrated in my eyes I enjoy watching him
fight.

I guess no one is even giving Arce a chance... He's a cagey sob, and i think he will give Donaire problems mid/late if he can survive the early rounds when Nonito looks for the big shot.

I pick Arce for the Upset

The other one should be fun too. I'm looking forward to this card for some reason.

I agree that Arce is a solid opponent for Donaire, but I think Donaire will prevail.
Rigondeaux vs Poonsawat is the fight I really want to see. I hope Rigondeaux winds up on his ass, Poonsawat is solid and I hope he comes through for me. I hope, I hope, I hope!

Anyone still remember the triple foul punch combo on Arce? I still wince thinking about it. That being said I really want Donaire to fight the winner of Mares/Rigo. God I just want Mares to get KO'd. The kid is nice and exciting but the stupefying amount of low blows (and no this is not my hatred for him because I thought Moreno would school him) he lands and gets away with is mind numbing.

I bet Miles shows up in the fight thread Saturday.

Cheers mate.

At Los Angeles (Showtime): Amir Khan vs. Carlos Molina, 12 rounds, junior welterweights; Deontay Wilder vs. Kelvin Price, 10 rounds, heavyweights; Alfredo Angulo vs. Jorge Silva, 10 rounds, junior middleweights; Shawn Porter vs. Julio Diaz, 10 rounds, welterweights.

and also Saturday:
Starts @4:30 PM ET here in North America and @9:30 PM in the UK/Europe for you Brits and other "foreigners" who might be interested.
At Los Angeles (CBS): Leo Santa Cruz vs. Alberto Guevara, 12 rounds, for Santa Cruz's IBF bantamweight title.

Even without Rigo-Poon it should be a good night of boxing.

cheers

I choose donaire to win. Arces' aggression might be his down fall, but that's always been his style. Wearing his opponents down. Donaire has footwork and ring generalship. I don't see a ok on donaires' part just out boxing arce. Easy UD for donaire. Angulo wins. He's been appreciative since his last fight for returning to the ring and has a niche to reign in his division. Amir is in for a test. This is where we get to see where Amir stands for his future in boxing.

Just my thoughts...

Can't say how awesome it is to see LIVE BOXING on one of the original 'free' networks, CBS! Think the last fight I saw on there was a Nate Campbell draw (??) and hope it becomes a norm again and breathe some variety back into the sport.

And and WAR ARCE Hope he brings a helmut

Santa Cruz is fighting this weekend. You can't not watch a Santa Cruz fight.

Jorge Arce also has Angel Hernandez in his corner like Juan Manuel Marquez if I remember correctly. Does anybody have the latest Jorge Arce’s pictures? Just wondering if he is also ripped.

The Donaire v Arce fight is on Box Nation which is a pleasant surprise! Now I am interested in this fight.
