Donaire is another great example of a man that fell in love with his power and then hubris set in. Once he stroked Vic with that perfect shot he lost the use of his other hand. I think he started to believe all he had to do was show up. In addition he was fighting little guys compared to him which also helped to inflate his unbeatable aura. So much so that it seems he believed he never really needed training for Rigo. Now that's some kind of inflatable ego right there. Its odd because I'm a fan of Walters and not a fan of Donaire but find myself cheering for him. I think it might be his balls for taking this fight. I doubt anybody else in the sport would given similar circumstances and that really separates him from the pack for me.
