    For me, I was never a big fan of Donaire until last Saturday. He won me over as a fan. Same with Floyd after he fought Cotto. I became a fan, or at least realized it.

    Loma after he beat Russell Jr. He beat a game Russell Jr who that night would have given everyone at 126 hell. I became a fan.

    Fonfara Really had no opinion of him other than he beat a old Glen Johnson but he made a fan out of me for the way he took it to Stevenson even in defeat.

    Emmanuel Taylor Thought he looked like wasted talent against Algieri. Bounced back with a hell of a gutsy performance against Broner a fight in which many thought he would be slaughtered in including me.

    Of course Seth Mitchell and David Price, but those are obvious.

    Mchunu after the Chambers fight. I thought he would just be an easy victim (wich was probably what he was expected to be) for Eddie but instead he gave him a boxing lesson, and now I think he's one of the top3 Cruisers out there.

    Donaire is the most recent. Kell Brook is another that comes to mind. Lomachenko. Can't recall any others at the moment.

    I've always liked Donaire and hated to see him get beat up like that against Walters.
