    Not a bad card, Donaire's taking on someone who's taller than him for once :lol:. I've not seen much of Matehbula, only the Caballero fight from a few years ago IIRC :think

    And Herrera/Rios should be really entertaining fight even if doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things.

    Oh, I remember this guy. Gave a clearly unmotivated Cabellero a difficult night a few years back.

    Another underwhelming opponent for Nonito.

    Yeah, that's the only advantage Mathebula has got is his height.

    Poor fight for Nonito.

    **** knows. Apparently Donaire said he wanted a unification or something.

    HBO are ****witts, Mijares would cause more problems for Nonito IMO.

    Donaire will destroy Jeffrey. All the talk about Rigo, Nishioka, Mares and Arce that was coming out after he did Montiel and not one of those fights has come near to fruition. Boxing constantly lets down with the matchmaking sometimes.

    Herrera Rios aint a bad match though, its about time Rios moved up and considering he lost his last fight I wouldnt expect them to put him in with anyone tough at the weight. It would have been better if he fought Alvarado though.
