    Spectacular fight with spectacular finish FOTN! I had it 5-3 Raging Bull! He had a great gameplan in neutralizing Nonito's left hook and tho still took many jabs and hard right hands, Vic was making one of the greatest comebacks I've ever seen regarding careers. He looked nothing like the fighter from 4-5 fights ago, this was vintage Darchinyan he had Nonito studied completely, but I knew all it took was just one mistake, one chance for Nonito to land that left hook and that's what happened. Still, many were not expecting this performance tho they were expecting a Nonito win, which materialized, but it wasn't a wipeout like most expected. Yes, credit to Nonito, but Vic should also deserve his. I think he should of earned Donaire's respect by now and 100% deserves a 3rd match. Vic earned my respect and earned his "Raging Bull" moniker. It reminded abit of a smaller version of "The Brawl In Montreal" how a brawler was outhinking and schooling a bigger, younger, faster adversary. Vic was on his way to victory that's for sure. Nonito has always looked like a featherweight to me, Vic tho is fighting in a division not his. This guy deserves more credit for that too. Fans should demand a rubber match Vic earned it.

    Vic was probably two rounds up. It was a very close fight, and I find it hard to give a guy three rounds in a row when they are almost dead even. Vic looked like he would get the deserved decision as Donaire looked very gun shy until the 7th or 8th round. I really wonder why Donaire didn't fight that way from the start. My kid was sitting there watching the first round and they were pawing at each other for 3 minutes. He said, is that boxing Dad? And then just walked out. It was kind of funny and ridiculous at the same time. Like those old Charlie Chaplin bouts.
