    Montiel got beat by Z Goraz from what I saw in their fight. If he can't handle Z I think Donaire is better than Z.

    yes i have gorres the winner i that fight also but since then montiel has been notching good performances. i thought montiel was finished again until we saw his stoppage of hasegawa. donaire is probably better than z but gorres himself is a pretty good fighter, his conditioning just sucks for a 12 round fight.

    probably didn't heard about the a-side meth stuff. it makes bullet bounce off you and keeps you going forward in a fight. :D

    No way he's P4P number 4.... He's done nothing since he beat Vic.

    He is no.4. Ring rates him no.4 and thats what the media follows. I disagree with it based on resume but thats how its down.

    He's talented enough to be there no doubt, but he doesn't even have a top 10 resume, let alone one that has him at 4.

    my trainer told me the same things,

    watch everything, not his hands or eyes

    best defense is simply to step out of range, not cover up

    but i didnt realize there was that must science to countering a jab. i need to work on that.. i thought it was all timing, i didnt realize sometimes you can't go over the top because of the shoulder

    Floyd Patterson said he used to watch his opponent's chest muscles to anticipate shots and evade them. What I learned the hard way is when you're leaning over it's harder to see the punches coming so it's best to bend your knees but still use your height especially if it's an advantage by standing straight but not too straight up keep your knees bent.

    "Generally," Patterson said, "I don't look at an opponent's face. I keep my eye on the center of his chest because that way I can tell whether he is moving his muscles to throw a right or a left. But once I looked up into his face and it seemed all I could see was flesh and blood. I didn't want to hit him around the eyes any more so after that I aimed for his chin." - http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1002750/2/index.htm

    Wilfred Benitez was a master of this. Never looked an opponents face, just the chest. He was only the best defensive fighter of his era.

    I'm a fan of Benitez too and yes he was the best defensive fighter of his era. Him at his best was incredible. I'm going to try looking at my opponent's chest the next time I spar and see howw it works.
