    he's always had incredible movement around the ring, I really can't wait to see him against a top level guy again...

    Great knockout...very entertaining and not dissimilar to prime RJJ.

    I'm liking his style.

    I was ringside for that knockout, it took Nacho about 30 seconds to get up after that!

    Kevin Mitchell is fast becoming a class act.

    The most impressive thing about Donaire is his grasp on exactly what he does, and how he does it. As if his fight game isn't impressive enough.

    Smart and entertaining.

    Many fighters when hurt throw wild bombs in an effort to fight back, he was just making sure that never happened. I like his style.

    Definitley impressive....you have got to have a lot of balance and athletic qualities to get a KO like that. But...you have to admit that guy was completely out of his league. It reminded me of what Roy Jones Jr. would do to almost all of his opponents in his prime.

    It's not being talked about because the majority of us are trying to forget that the fight even took place. One of the biggest mismatches in recent memory.

    I've been a huge Donaire fan for a long time. I've considered him one of the best in the sport and seen every one of his fights since his win over Darchinyan.

    But the day I'll be a true believe is the day I see him handle a potshotter, someone who boxes on his toes. Someone like Mijares back when he beat Arce. Hasegawa would be a good challenge for that reason because he fits the profile and apparently he is the real deal. (though I haven't see much of it yet)

    The guy suffered a huge loss as a straw weight...in the video you can clearly see the size advantage of Nonito. Like I said Nonito is a fraud.

    Donaire looks 3 times the size of that dude. In any case, was a great shot. Highly skilled punch, theres no way you can land a "lucky" leaping uppercut. Donaire's KO of Darchinyan is the epitome of a perfectly timed punch if ever i've seen one.
