Imagine that, even the lower weights has a big fight goind down Viloria-Marquez and he's not interested? Perhaps an extra-terrestial match-up would suit you better.
There's some terrific fights still to come. I'm particularly looking forward to; Mares-Moreno Nishioka-Donaire Marquez-Viloria Rios-Alvarado DeMarco-Broner I think Quillen will beat N'Kijam in a nice match-up of up-and-coming Middleweights, I enjoy watching Lara and I'll watch any fight with Morales or Froch. Add in Alexander-Bailey, Wlad etc and I'd say the end of the year is very strong.
donaire vs nishioka is a great fight and a fight between top level fighters at their division, you sure have high standards
I'll find it hard to watch another Donaire fight again after his constant jumping around and making his fights a mess recently.
He's also come up big when he's been in with top fighters, like Montiel and Darchinyan. He's frustrated in a couple of recent fights but he's a superb talent and has genuine KO power. Not only that, he's fighting the most proven fighter at his weight; an intelligent, fast-handed, adaptable guy who can push the pace. Even if you're unsure about Donaire, I think this is the one fight to watch him in.
Donaire vs. Nishioka = FIGHT OF THE YEAR contender If you seen Toshi fight's against that Thai legend, Veeraphol you'll know this guy is the real deal. Those were 3 classic fights, IMO even better than the Pac-Marquez trilogy in terms of excitement and competitiveness (Pac-Marquez 3 was a bore) This is going to be a fight of high speed chess and each guy will have their moments

Spot on, there is a very noticeable change in attitude from the promoters, we are getting a lot of good match ups as of late and it is continuing until the end of the year. And not only are we getting big main events but there are far more stacked looking cards than normal. This in my opinion is the result of promoters both feeling the pressure from mma and learning from the ufc. The emergence of mma, rather than damaging boxing has served as a catalyst for the sports improvement, it took a while for us to see the effects but it is starting to happen. P.s the OP must be nuts.
