    I always figured that Nonito lost his athletic style.

    He used to be a bit of a slickster and more of a boxer.
    Compare his fights with Vic the ****. In the second fight he is tense and looks to load up on shots. In the first fight his feet were always moving.
    The reason Vic got to him in the rematch was because Donaire was planting his feet while waitng for an opening. In the first fight he moved, looked for openings but more importantly, he created openings.

    Since 2012 Donaire has regressed fight by fight. The Montiel fight was the worst thing to happen to him imo. And the way he fought Mathebula :dead:dead:dead

    Donaire started to fall in love with his power and that was his downfall. Which is a shame like you said he used to be a great boxer.
