Have to give credit to Nonito Donaire

[Julius Rain]

It's not easy moving up in weight, and yet still finding an opponent that belongs two weight class below you but Nonito and his team managed it with aplomb this weekend.

Credit to his promotional team for finding an entertaining dwarf who even came in with a cape like a fighter from the South American midget wrestling league.

He seems to be on a crash course to destroy all of Snow White's pal's, can't be many of the seven left now.

Respect.

I agree bilbs, Nonito needs to stop fighting lesser oppenent. I too am getting tired of him not being in big fights. Hopefully Montiel is next so atleast he would be fighting somebody with a better resume.

Eventually I think Nonito will be a featherweight. Lots of option for him and he needs to gain the peoples respect by getting the big fights.

On the other hand, Bilbo, if you put aside his inflated ranking, his career is finally moving in the right direction. You should give him some respite if he beats Montiel in February.

if donaire were to beat montiel, which is possible, the one fight i'd like to see is abner mares/nonito donaire. i think this would be a barnburner.

[Spicoli]

He's picking a huge fight in which he wont be able to have it all his way and relaxe for the first time in many. I think Montiels height actually works for him accompinied with quick hands,left hook as Donaire comes in,punching down. Yeh he beats who he's supposed to and how he's supposed to Montiel aint no Vic with two left feet or some of these other lilliputians he's been fighting.

Everyone feels the same way. Most knowledgeable boxing fans already know Donaire possess the skills to be a p4p top 10 fighter, but he sorely lacks the competition. Anything less than a fight with Montiel and fans would be sorely disappointed.
