Official Montiel-Donaire Thread

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

Be interesting to see if/how much bigger Donaire looks in the ring...

Montiel figured out Hasegawa's speed relatively well, should be interesting.

'You have to train your very best in order to be competitive'....? Lines are drawn. Stands taken. When's the last time glory-boy Donaire has been hit clean on the chin by a p4p fighter? Montiel matches his speed...just watch

This is a tough one to call because I like them both, but for now, I'm going with Donaire. He looks like he could be a real special fighter. I didn't like Montiel much in his early days but he really stepped up his level of competition as of late and impressed me greatly. He is certainly the man to beat at the lower weight classes.
