    Good question. I'll go for Donaire, just because how relevant the fight with Montiel was in the division. While Donaire seems to have been the clear favourite going in he finished Montiel much earlier than most of us seemed to have imagined. Until the knockout he was clearly winning the fight.

    I'd mention Martinez's performance against the dangerous and solid Dzinziruk but Donaire's performance caught my attention a lot more.

    i went with Sergio.. only because in the Donaire fight Montiel seemed so overmatched, it was crazy. In the Martinez fight.. we saw Sergihy start showing his style and jabs more and he started getting into rhythm.. but then we saw Martinez's deeper talents.. his athleticism, quickness, countering skills and abilities.. I think he just showed that fight what he was all about against pretty decent competition. After the first round, I knew Donaire was going to ko Montiel.. both great performances tho

    Donaire. Stole two belts in a sensational KO over a legit p4p fighter

    Donaire

    Martinez look good but donaire was fighting a top 10 P4P fighter and dominated him then knocking him the **** out.

    The best performance Donaire
    - KO a legit p4p fighter. (I'm just lamenting hwo uneventful it was for me. I suspected he would make quick work out of him after seeing the size difference and first round.)

    Most impressive Rios
    -Biggest step up in class of all the boxers mentioned. Showed true grit until the end and came out on top.

    Most sustained impression Martinez
    - Cinderella man, we all know who he beat to get where he is now.

    It depends how you define performance. Sure donaire had a cracking knockout but until that point it was fairly even.

    I don't include one punch as being a brilliant performance.

    Martinez systematically broke down dzin in a cracking performance.

    I think donaire was the better victory, but performance, i'm not so sure.

    Donaire cause he looked spectacular against a very good fighter.

    Martinez also looked great but his opponent wasnt as good as Montiel who Doanire Koed.
