QUOTE (daprofessor @ May 23 2012, 05:16 PM)  Donaire's power and speed is what will keep him in the fight and also his length. Mike Alvarado? Look him up, he's a solid fighter in the 140 class and is very capable of fighting a hard punching pressure fighter in Rios. It would be my instant FOTY candidate if it happens.

Donaire would get the breaks beat off of him. Broners too big, too skilled, and too long. I used to think Donaire was a technical fighter but I havent been all that impressed with the Filapino Flash lately. |

For my money, I'd rather watch Broner vs Donaire. Even though Nonito would be taking a nap in the fight, it certainly is more appealing then the other fight mentioned. Plus, with all the problems and bullshit Rios has been going thru, I really don't care to see him fight again until he gets his shit together. And even then I think Alvarado still gives him the business in the ring

Im ready to see Mile High Mike against Rios right about now. Those dudes are gonna scrap 'til the end, and its gonna worth the money. Broner and Donaire are overrated to me...

Donaire's frame seems like it could handle the weight to go up to face Broner, but I think that it would be a pretty clear beat down by Broner. Donaire might surprise me though, but I seriously doubt it.
Alvarado/Rios, yeah I'd watch it. I can't remember watching Alvarado, but if he passed Boxing 101, then I'll pick him over Rios. .. |

Right on the button. Broner is way too big that match up isn't even plausible, by the time nonito went up broner would be at 140. But both top rank hype jobs get blitzed in these match ups |

I can't get excited for Rios until he starts taking himself more seriously. In my opinion, he's the Chris Arreola of the lower weight classes. I can't even say you're an exciting prospect until you give everything to boxing. When you consistently struggle with weight problems, I have a problem with that. Either make the weight or move up. The only question marks a fighter should have should be strategy. Conditioning and weight should be "givens" for world class fighters!
I agree Broner is probably too heavy for Donaire but who knows how much weight Donaire's frame can add? I'd like to see the fight mainly because I want to see the clash between Broner's in the pocket style and Nonito's phenomenal footwork. |
