Ummm yes he did. He won the wbo,ibf and ring titles at 122. He beat the man montiel who beat the man hozumi hasegawa. He beat montiel,sidorenko and narvaez in 118 in a row.
Arce on a roll against bums, fighting above his ideal weight? Donaire's face suggested the kicking wasn't a one way street. Mathebula having a broken jaw, had what to do with Donaire eating jab after jab? Nishioka was retired about a year, and hardly punched back against Donaire. How is a retired boxer on a roll?
The midget Montiel wasn't better than Moreno, or anyone in the bantam tourney. Hasegawa had outhrown the weight, so drained he jumped to featherweight immediately after. Sydorenko was past it when Donaire fought him, and was another midget. Narvaez 115 pound midget. Very selective matchmaking by Arum.
Between his last loss and his loss to donaire he beat three champs even gave one his first stoppage so yeah id say he's on a roll. So what if he eats jab after jab pac eats overhand rights for dinner,usyk was getting hit by the same punch of bellew did that stop them from winning? I won't argue with you that donaire has **** head movement. Nishioka in his three year 7 defense of his 122 belt beat 3 champs regardless if he came back from a 1 year rest. I've seen guys with worse breaks yet still looked good on their return. Donaire just kicked nishioka's ass plain and simple.
Maybe not better but like i said he beat fhe man in hasegawa so regardless of skill reputation alone is great addition to resume. Ain't montiel's fault hasegawa killed himself to make weight(if that's even true) tell that to inoue who fought a skeleton mcdonnel. I'll agree with you on sidorenko but i don't know a guy standing at 5'9(at least what boxrec says) classified as midget. Since we are getting out of topic i'll conclude that even if tete wins which i also think i don't think it'll be that easy based on both of their last performances.
I expect Donaire to be thoroughly out boxed by Zolani Tete. That seems to be the trend with Donaire. Unless he lands his hail Mary left hook. He was out boxed against Magdaleno and Burnett. I mean I think even if Donaire lands the left, TETE might go down but get back up and proceeds to thoroughly out box Donayri. Nonito's power is not devastating against guys his size.I would say the superior boxing skills of Tete and youth should play a major factor in determining the outcome of this particular fight. I am favoring him to win by Unanimous Decision.
I agree that Tete looked lack luster against Aloyan. I had him winning comfortable, but he seriously under performed. His team probably shouldn't have brought in outside coaches. If it ain't broke, don't try and fix it. They are doing the same thing again for the Donaire fight, bringing in Floyd Sr.
Hmmmm......you realise prime Donaire would have his way with Tete right? If your post is directed at this version of Donaire ok, if it relates to Donaire in general you're WAY off.
