    Wilfredo Vazquez Jr: “Nonito Donaire needs to know I am not a 115-pounder… If I touch him I can hurt him!”

    http://fightfan.com/2012/01/wilfred...-a-115-pounder-if-i-touch-him-i-can-hurt-him/

    WV2: Nonito Donaire mentioned my name and said he wants to fight me. I am happy to give him this fight. We are going to work hard to win. God doesn’t make two people the same. Everybody has their very own talent. I have mine and he has his, that night we will put it all on the line so that the whole wide world can see that I still have the skills, that I am still motivated, that I trained very hard to beat Nonito Donaire. It won’t be an easy fight for me. It won’t be an easy fight for him.

    I have respect for Nonito but I know if I touch him I can hurt him. He is moving up in weight and he’s thin and has nowhere else to grow. Now we have to see if he can absorb big punches from a kid that is 122 pounds one day and 135 pounds on fight night. He handled the 112 and 115 pound guys (who are much smaller)… but just imagine what I’ll do on fight night. It’s not the same comparing me to a 115-pounder.It’s going to be a great fight!

    you can be skinny and hit harder than a guy with developed muscles,, boxing is not about muscles but technique and knowing how to throw the punches

    :hat

    Anyone who's seen bodybuilders punching the heavy bag has realized there's more to punching power than muscles.

    If Donaire can move up in weight and carry the power with him all the way through as same as Pacquiao has done before then I'll take my hat off to him. I mean if he can KO Vazquez at 122, it would be amazing.

    Neither did Trinidad, I think Trinidad had one of the weirdest looking frames I have ever seen in boxing. Power is more than having muscles...

    Vazques Jr needs to just keep his mouth shut. All that talking did him no favors against Arce and Nonito is a different beast all together. Vazques will be there to be found and Donaire is an amazing counter puncher. Really looking forward to this one.

    I can't help but think that Donaire actually makes this look very easy.

    I think Donaire stops him in the later rounds. I like Jr, but i think Nonito a different class.
