    Its rare a fighter like Nonito,who takes on the best who will fight him, gets so much ****.

    I suppose anyone at his level will always get some criticism, but still!

    The guy has an outstanding resume,and if you believe Mares is moving up in weight,he's fighting the #2 guy in the division next.

    Caballero coudnt make 122 anymore, I read his interview after the mathebula fight, he was drained.Mathebula didn't do any damage to him, he just coudnt barely punch and move.Its why he moved up in weight.Such a large frame when getting old cant hold that minimum weight, same as corrales, he was a beast at 130 but then gradually has to move up in weight.
    You should know this.

    Didnt caballero fought his next fight at 122 pounds after he fought Mathebula? If so then that weight drain thing is a bad excuse on Caballero fought. And Mathebula like Caballero is also 5'11 in which mathebula reach is 1 inch shorter then Caballero.

    One of Caballero's eyes was closed shut.

    Caballero was comfortable enough to weigh two pounds under the limit for the Mathebula fight. He also fought at 122 after Mathebula.

    I can already tell that you did NOT expect Donaire to actually take the fight with Rigondeaux and that you're shaken by the fact that you were proven wrong. The fight's already set between the two, what the **** else do you want Donaire to do? Just be glad the fight is actually happening.

    Donaire is already taking on the supposed "threat" in the division and still gets so much ****. Makes no sense.

    Nito is such a *****. He's just too Americanized running to twitter and FB and crap like that. Pacquiao was a much more reliant puppet.

    i think the guys bitching about a fighter who does everything the right way are the real bitches

    he fights 4 times a year
    he fights the best fighters in his division
    he takes random testing 365 days a year


    what more do you ***gots want?

    It was serious "ducky talk" when he said that in the post-fight...

    Think he planned to watch Riggy go thru another fight and see if something pops up. I think his performance in the Marroquin helped Donaire move forward to the fight...

    guess some of us complaining about fighters not making their intentions fully known... or that they can change their minds cuz something happens

    I wasnt sure if this fight would ever happen, with both parties questionable...

    +5 for Keeping It Real! The shits going down, and thats all that matters!
