Donaire v Gomez at SBW?

I've added more.

Again, when did Fenech look like being taken out? Despite facing many hard punches.

Yes, Samart was weight drained. That fight isn't really relevant here though. Yes, it's at super bantam but stylistically? Anyway, Fenech brutalised Payakaroon.

Anyway, Fenech at 122/126; talk to me.

 

My prediction would be Fenech beating the living **** out of Donaire.

 

That's fair enough, I didn't think you were using it as a stylistic comparison :good

Nonito is not sparking Fenech. Jeff would not allow Nonito space, he'd swarm all over him.

Nonito would have a decent shout against the ****ed Fenech of the McCrory fight. But prime for prime? Fenech would tear him a new one, I'd bet my life on it.

 

Fenech would make Donaire cry for his mummy, the guy's strength and stamina was unbelievable, hes a H2H monster at 118 and 122. I can see this fight being a replay of Fenech-Callejas with Callejas who was a big puncher with a pretty good defense had some success early on but in the end Fenech's strength and relentless pressure ended up wearing him down and he stopped him late, i think The Donaire fight wouldnt be much different than that IMO.

 

I think Donaire is pretty basic technical skills-wise.It's his good physical ability,good speed and very good\excellent power that make him a very good fighter.

He's good at punching with the opposition, but hardly Archie Moore or something.Been plenty of better punchpickers around his weight throughout history.He reminds me more of someone like Medel or Mugabi in that respect, where he might land something sneaky if you fight like you don't respect him much(Darchinyan) or are going to have a hard time stopping him placing punches and being able to dictate exchanges through a mixture of good accuracy and athleticism plus threat of powerif you aren't a very good talent all-round yourself ie aging Montiel\Nishioka.

It's a lot, lot tougher to get the flashy Knockouts against the excellent\great fighters.Things tend to dry there for fighters of this kind of style if an effective all-round game can't be deployed.

Best just to wait and see how his career unfolds imo.I tend to think he'll end up on about the level of Carbajal when all is said and done.

 

No, you don't get it Donaire would not knock out Jeff Fenech. You can say 'it's my opinion' but it's a nonsensical stance to take. Isn't happening I have no idea why you're seeing this as a possible outcome.

Jeff Fenech had an awesome chin. Unless you're holding Grove and Holliday against him, which would be a bit harsh IMO.

EDIT: As for laying on the ropes...what?! Nelson didn't do it to Fenech, past prime, in their first fight, despite landing some good shots. What makes you think Nonito has the strength to remain balanced with Fenech on top of him with his back against the ropes?? Nelson even had a bit of trouble with this in their second fight before blasting Jeff.

For sheer power, Donaire does not hit harder than Azumah Nelson. If you're putting him on Nelsons level for H2H effectiveness against guys weighing 130+ you're mad.

So, yeah, I can't see that either. Not with Fenechs chin, stamina, own skills (was not just a Brawler) and two fisted assault (more potent at 122 as well) I see it ending badly for Nonito.

 

The thing with trying that sort of fightplan as your main avenue of winning is that unless he turns out to have genuinely great toughness(an unknown right now)and even better poise than he's shown so far, then he better get that KO quite quick or Fenech will beat the fight and ability to get the stoppage right out of him with his busier higher amount of excellent combos and constant roughhousing.Very risky to try and soak that sort of barrage and look to get a knockout.

 

Unless he's Villasana he isn't taking half the beating he took. I'm saying half because Donaire is not Villasana, he'll be out of the danger zone enough.

But Fenech would still get to him enough. IMO

 

Seems to me you're giving all the benefits of the doubt to Nonito, that's all.
