He got rocked @ 2:33 and almost went down... what you think bout his chin? :think [YT]8oF_zW_F08c&feature=related[/YT] Donaire KOed Cardenas in round 2 and I must admit this fighter does have SICK! skills and fast hands but he gets careless at times. He needs to fight montiel if he wins then i'm a believer but for now i think he's still overrated by some coz of his darchinian win.
to be fair with nonito, the punch that rocked him was flush + he was turning and walking into it (because he is also punching). and he held his legs up
I've seen it before... He took a hard shot early in the fight and good shook, but recovered relatively quickly. From that you cant determine much other than he doesn't have a soft chin but its hard to say how much punishment he could absorb. There were many other fighters who have been shook and even knocked down from flush shots early in their careers this includes Pavlik, De La Hoya, Margarito and they all showed to have decent beards afterwards.
the tongue was firmly in the cheek. yeah i think he has a very good chin and he rolled a decent amount of power off the shot. also cardenas was almost finished at this point so if your going to be a bit trigger happy this would of been the point for donaire to finish it. and he did.
