Dan Rafael says Nonito Donaire-Fernando Montiel is on

[KKisser]

I like Montiel he's a tough son of a gun. But why the hell is it happening in the Phillipines? this one could very well go to a decision and last thing we want to affect a great match is a hometown decision. I like Donaire too but I'm not impressed on his last fight. I think he's more of a counterpuncher and looks good against a slugger.So IMHO if Montiel decides to box I think hes gonna get exposed. Montiel via decision.

well it wasn't a hometown decision the last time montiel was in the philippines against gorres. imo z actually got the short end of it.

don't know how nonito will respond to a new trainer after parting ways with his dad. i hope he stays focus. montiel will be in one helluva fight and might even get stopped late.

Interesting fight... Montiel is too good for Nonito IMO! But I hope Nonito works harder to maximize that counterpunching...

Nonito,close UD!

Yeah my bad on the stereotyping. but I feel Darchinyan got robbed against Z Gorres and it happened in the Phils. and I've seen both the title fights of Gorres and I can say the referee has always done a poor job whenever the hometown fighter is hurt and is hanging on to survive. IMO Gorres should have been disqualified or at the very least must have been deducted by a point against Montiel and Darchinyan.

Fight would of been a TKO for Montiel if Gorres didn't transform into Ricky Hatton and started hugging Montiel just to keep from being knocked the fukk out. I was shocked that one blind ass judge gave Gorres the fight. By 4 rounds! And that's with the knock down and point deductions going against Gorres. Unbelievable. I had it 115-111 for Montiel.

gorres was winning the fight comfortably and he got cocky. that's when montiel caught him. in my scorecard i have z winning a close fight but i don't have any qualms about the result as montiel might have done enough in the late rounds to rally.
