    I think Walters is starting to break him down, Donaire seems bothered by the eye again as well. Still can't blink though, great fight.

    Walters fought the 5th like he wanted to be caught with miracle hook!! Dummy. Bullied Donaire, but he will be caught if he keeps up that close...49-45 Walters

    Donaire still looking to counert punch picture perfect knockouts. At the very least he should using his jab to keep walters off balance and protect that eye. Best tool in the tool box and he still thinks hes too fast to need it. Even if he wins this, his eye will be chop meat. Hes sprinting toward a shortened career.
    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

    Walters is doing what he has to do. Which is attack Donaire. But he really leaves himself wide open

    Donaire was a loss waiting to happen. But I was expecting a points loss where he would look uninterested. I was not expecting him to get wrecked in this fashion

    Donaire seems to think that he's strong enough to KO these bigger guys and thinks he's tough enough to trade with them.

    He's wrong.

    Pretty sure he realizes that now. I give him credit for taking the chance.

    Was going to write down my opinions last night, but couldn't be bothered to switch on the pc in the end!

    If round two had an extra ten seconds, I'm sure that Donaire would have got a knockdown, as Walters went reeling back to his corner, and when he got there realized he'd gone to the wrong corner. Nonetheless, a bit of vulnerability will only add to his marketability in terms of exciting fights against other powerful guys, and he definitely packs a big punch which we saw last night.

    As for GGG, he did exactly what I expected him to do. The extra weight of Rubio really had no bearing, it was just the case that Golovkin was very powerful, and caught him too hard. He had a wide eyed stare when he was on the floor, so even if he did get up I reckon the ref wouldn't have allowed him to continue.

    Walters is a pretty cool dude to, he's definitely a must watch.
