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

[Mars_ax]

Donaire gets a million tonight. Arce gets $800 000.

Lost in the KTFO last week was a bit of comedy from the Top Rank announcers, who did a fantastic job of calling the knockout. Calling the fight were the magnificently-haircutted Benny Ricardo and granite-chinned Ulsterman Wayne McCullough who were presumably sitting at ringside. Here's a photograph of Benny's haircut for extra giggles :

I watched a bit of Ricardo and Wayne McCullough doing an undercard fight, before finally finding the actual HBO PPV feed on a stream. Ricardo looks ridiculous, the absurd Jheri curls most go.

This was a hell of a fight, Marquez ability to come back from punishment is fucking amazing.

Great fight between 2 consummate pros.

I have mixed feelings about a Pac-JMM V, but I know if it happens i'd be watching it.

And I thought the whole planking fad had run its course . Personally hope no 5th happens

If you have too much time on your hands, watch this replay with top half of screen blocked and only viewing legs, placement. Telling.

You seem to be talking in riddles lately, what the heck do you mean?

On to the live main event, 150 miles down the road from me in Houston, Texas. Arce will have the crowd on his side. Lamps, Merchant, and RJJ calling the action for HBO.

Who won then?

After seeing the replay I'm even more confident that Pacman will come back stronger and will again pick him to beat Marquez in a fifth fight.

Nah. That knock out is staying with Pacquiao for awhile. They fight again, I think Marquez stops him even sooner

Arce has always been a favorite of mine. That knockdown was pretty predictable. As soon as Arce opens up, I think it's over buy he's doing better in this third round. Donaire's stronger! You would think anyways he's being pushed around and being passive on the ropes.

Fighter of the Year.
