Who needs over priced heavys? This is a great match for boxing, bantam division is looking up!

Personally, I am saving my money for the Holyfield - Nielson fight.

Montiel is a pretty solid guy, I did not expect him to get past Hosegawa so easy. Does anyone have a link to some of his fights I can watch? I think Donaire is too quick and skilled for this guy from what I've seen. I would have to pick him first.

ISn't this on HBO?

It's on HBO's "Boxing After Dark" the event is Feb. 19 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

I think HBO has dropped the ball on this one. On P4P list, this is the #5 vs #7. There are probably too many Analysis types in the organization to realize that more people are going to watch this fight than they think.

I know he isn't the most likeable guy ...but i see no way donare doesn't destroy montiel no matter how many rematches they have. As much as they are bringing a rematch up seems like that's more or just as important as the first fight. I'm picking donaire by ko in the first fight, the second and if they happen to meet on the street for the third too.

I thought Montiel would be shorter than that standing next to Donaire.

I'm curious to see if Donaire will keep his word and go right at Montiel like he said he would. If he does there is no way he lasts as long as Hasegawa did
