Comments Thread For: Arum Slams Crazy Judges in Pacquiao, Donaire Fights

[j0zef]

Think Arum is spot on in his assessments.

[My Low Place]

Donaire seemed noticeably bigger imo. I was rooting for Nonito but Jessie won clear. It was competitive but that doesn't mean it was particularly close. Yeah, Nonito rocked Jessie late but honestly Donaire was being out fought and out boxed from every distance. There was a time past the midway where Jessie just stood infront of him and out countered him for like 2 rounds effectvely out Donaire'ing him. Donaire didnt look particularly bad so much as Jessie looking better than expected (in my eyes. I though Nonito would work the right hand down the pipe much more early on like he did late but Jessie was too quick and physical in creating his own space)


Vargas also looked better than I thought he would..for whatever that's worth. I've never been big on him honestly. He lost clear but he wasn't blown out like I though. He appeared to belong at times and he had a decent showing. Props I guess for hanging with Pac and not breaking or cowering. He was always in the fight. I see him a little different even though hes delusional. Good confidence and belief in himself. Not bad

your stood there for 2 rounds thing is incorrect..jessie would counter well and move well for one round only without hold and then he would be too gassed the next round and only be able to move and basically hold..and that was an experience thing..

the right hand of nonito landed from round 3 onward..th short left hook to an opponent attempting to hold landed home as well, but the flash long hooks donaire can land did not bc the opponent attempted to not smoother, but HOLD..weeks should have deducted points...horrible way to let 8 weeks of training go to waste..
