    He'll be too small at bantam. The lad Seda dwarfed him and Donaire's even bigger (and miles more talented).

    Doesn't really punch that hard at his Super Fly. Donaire should take this on skill let alone the size difference.

    Yep, they shorted things out.

    Donaire's saying he's moving up to super-bantam after this and could fight the winner of Marquez/Nishioka!!!! :ibutt

    Think thats why they have him there.

    You would think they would be able to entice Darchinyan again now his stock has fallen.

    They actually turned a Darchinyan fight down.

    Not a great fight but as long as he stays busy from now on there should be excellent fights coming up.

    ...dwarfed him and won only three rounds.

    Donaire's not that much bigger than Seda...and while he is more talented Seda is himself quite good.

    Narvaez is an underdog here, but it isn't a ridiculous mismatch even accounting for the age and size "advantages".

    Narvaez has more chance at the upset than Darchinyan. :deal

    We already know Nonito has Vic's number. We'll see whether or not he has Omar's.

    Best opponent of the ones who were mentioned. He is undefeated, with a tonne of title fights in 2 weight classes. It'll be a good name on Donaires record but at 5'3 but you wonder what threat he can pose at another weight. You never know though. Can't think of anyone going into a Donaire bout as the favourite unless he goes up in weight.
