Looking forward to seeing Raul Martinez. I feel he is still a really good prospect despite the Donaire loss. He's still young and can work his way back.
Yeah Martinez is a good fighter. I can't understand people criticizing Donaire saying he's only fighting bums. Mthalane is another good Donaire win.
