Who has had the best performance of the year so far in boxing?

donaire absolutely blew out top p4p fighter montiel into bolivian.

 

By the way Donaire had fought the first round so flawlessly against a wrld class top A opponent, you can sense that something devastating was going to happen. He looked like prime RJJ. If thats not great performance, I dont know what is.

 

Donaire, no doubt! Sergio won over a guy moving up to his division while Donaire moved up and dethroned the top guy of the division!

 

Martinez for me.

Donaire was more spectacular but Martinez just dominated a very skilled, technicaly fighter over a sustained period of time.

 

Close, but I'm going with The Filipino Flash Donaire.

Can see an argument for Martinez as well though. I don't think there is anything wrong with either pick. Both guys are having a great year.

 

With his own weapon too, the jab. That surprised me but at the moment and still now, nothing has gotten my attention like the left hook Donaire hit Montiel with to send him to the canvas. The Rios-Acosta fight is a potential FOTY but Donaire didn't struggle at all like Rios did.

 

Donaire was might impressive, but I kind liked Manny's performance against Margo. Although Manny was expected to win, the way he performed against the much bigger man was excellent, and it was entertaining throughout.
