Nonito Donaire vs. César Juárez & Félix Verdejo vs. Josenilson Dos Santos RBR

Juárez is a game motherfucker.

 

Round 4

Juárez is still bobbling his entire upper half from side to side like a barometer needle. Donaire is ripping him with clean left hooks. Long right hand by Donaire has Juárez on his way down and Donaire rushes in with a left hook for good measure, tangling with him and nearly going down on top of Juárez before the count is applied. Juárez battling through it bravely, just not matching Donaire's accuracy. Juárez down again, big left hook.

10-7 Donaire

40-34 Donaire

 

The commentators were saying Donaire has to get a stoppage here to rekindle his star power. He is on his way to getting it but had to work for it, and the result on paper won't tell quite the whole story. (as if you just look at BR and see that Juárez had been down against subpar opposition, you might shrug it off and say "well of course" - but Donaire is showing vintage crispness here and nailing the Mexican with the kitchen sink and then some...)

 

Round 5

Juárez is trading left hooks with Donaire, falling in on him, forcing him to lean backward into the ropes. Juárez pumps in straight flurries on Donaire, arm-weary but dogged. Nice turnaround from the 4th by Juárez; Donaire is still just too superior with his aim, distance control and timing, and landing with more authority. Juárez getting some licks in, especially when Donaire lays on the ropes.

10-9 Donaire

50-43 Donaire

 

Sounds like one is Boom-boom Mancini.
