Official Montiel-Donaire Thread

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.

Donaire will school Montiel and people will know how good Donaire is.

And everyone will be seriously considering not to fight or mess with Donaire after this fight.

That is my bold prediction for this fight.

Donaire's message to Montiel...

'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.

Donaire for me looks alot bigger in the pics too.

That's what I'm thinking. I also believe that he will be able to go up in weight with success because he is bigger than most of the guys in the weight classes he's been fighting in. I'm picking Donaire. I don't believe he stops Montiel and I would be surprised if that happened. I think with his speed, boxing skills, and ability to fight traditional and southpaw interchangeably, he'll keep Montiel guessing throughout the fight. It won't be easy for Donaire and Montiel may have him in trouble once or twice during the later rounds.
