    Donaire weighed 117 1/2 pounds for tomorrow WBSS.
    Half pound below the limit, looking fantastic physically and mentally, smiling joking around and dancing with the ring card girls.
    So wanted to pick an upset but I don't know, he hasn't fought as a bantam for 7 years and clearly past his best days.
    Thoughts?

    At this stage of their careers Burnett should win, but as you mentioned Donaire looks in great shape. I say Donaire gives Burnett some issues, but ultimately loses a clear decision.

    Also Burnett is not quite as good or as strong as frampton. Maybe he should be worried.. .. I have to admit I have concerns here. ..

    Donaire is a class act. I think he'll lose, but I hope it's not a painful loss and he goes out with dignity.

    It would be interesting if Donaire can catch him with a counter left hook.

    Burnett's best wins would be smashed to smithereens by Donaire even now, food for thought.

    Happy that Donaire was actually able to make weight and he doesn't look like a skeleton. Pulling for him but it's a tough ask considering the amount of weight he had to lose at his age. Hopefully he's able to turn back the clock.

    Still have my doubts. Tbh i still expect burnett to win but would be happy if donaire goes all the way to the finals though that is wishful thinking. Please don't disappoint me this time donaire.

    He was pudgy as **** at 122, let alone 126. I'd love to see him get a tad of the old mojo back and take out the sheltered trash when he faces Burnett. I can't stand protected duckers. Burnett is the epitome of one. Ducked Tete. Then gave up his IBF belt to duck Rodriguez.
