    Donaire has grade A power. He is carrying his power with him as he climbs up in weight. He beat a totally naturally bigger man easy.

    At times he broke through against a guy who is tough to hit clean. Sure he got hit, but he's fighting heavier guys who have a longer reach, and more power. Those who think Rigondeaux walks through Donaire are fools.

    Donaire can stop Riggo at any time during the fight. It won't be easy to beat Riggo, but lady nights performance didn't tell me Riggo walks through Donaire.

    Junior was impressive in the sense that he crowded Rubio the whole fight basically. Rubio, who is at his best from long range couldn't find his range. Rubio had ok hand speed, but that wasn't going to hurt Junior.

    Junior made a choice. Get hit by Rubios short punches, or crowd him and take his power away. He took Rubio's power away. Didn't hurt that he was the bigger guy. For a guy who started at 17, Junior is coming along.

    I thought Donaire looked great, flashes of srl imo. Especially considering hsi hand injury.
    Thought jr won against rubio 115-113, he is just very big but he also had good moves and proved he isnt a easy fight for anyone at 160.

    Benitez was an ATG and roughly the same size as srl. Nice try tho dummy.

    Donate had 2 inches and probably 10lbs on Vasquez and got smacked with the jab all night. Some had the fight 1-2 points away from being even. Srl my ass

    So what are we talking about? Vasquez is a little man with skills and toughness. Who gives a **** about a mans size if Donaire was the favorite anyway. How many times did Mayweather or DeLaHoya or even Ali fight shorter fighters. Does that mean you take something from those opponents or the favorites.

    And how many times did DLH and Mayweather get busted up by a guy hey held every physical advantage over? That's the point he compared donaire to srl as if him jumping around against a guy he far bigger than was amazing. Go watch rjj and srl in there prime and see if they got smacked wih the jab like that for 12 rounds.

    Oh and in there primes dumbass don't want non of you ***gots getting smart again and mentioning pacquiao.
