Montiel KO: The end of Montiel as we know him?

[La Zorrita]

he wasn't cautious he was hit with that same left hook in rd1 and didn't take note of it.... if the fight went the distance and he caught nonito... it would be nonito laying in the canvass and not him i would my money on montiel if a rematch happens

C'mon man. You act like Montiel is stalker like Angulo, Margarito, karass, Segura, etc etc. I agree he isn't a counter punch artist like JMM but he is a classic speed/balance fighter who uses distance and instinct as a defensive tool then to tries to beat his opponent to the punch. If that's not cautious I dunno what is. I guess you define cautious as Abraham's peek-a-boo style. Point is Montiel was not reckless, Nonito was just faster and stronger. Montiel did nothing in that fight to give anyone the idea that he would compete in a rematch let alone KO Donaire. That's the Mexican in you talking. Lastly that was as brutal a one punch KO as I've ever seen and I maintain the jury is out on whether or not Montiel will ever be 100%. My hope is that he will, but that's because I want him to be okay.....history shows he might be done.
