While I welcome Donaire-Mathebula over Donaire-Mijares at this point, any day of the week, it's still not the best fight at this moment to be made. I don't see how Donaire can say no one knows Rigo but than entertain a Mathebula fight. Both are champions and have titles, and both are in the same boat, only Rigo is actually promoted by TR and is probably one of the Top 1-2 fighters at 122.

Donaire-Terrazas or Donaire-Mathebula is still better than Donaire-Mijares though. At least Terrazas beat Montiel, Mathebula is a Top 10 SBW and beat Ndlovu at least. Mijares hasn't done s**t since 2008, and that was at a weight way below 122.

Nonito better at least fight Jorge Arce in the fall, and eventuallys hould fight Rigondeaux and Nishioka before leaving 122. He said he likes 122 and feels comfortable. There's no reason he can't fight Rigo and Nishioka before leaving 122.

considering donaire's last few fights its barely acceptable. im honestly tired of having to wait for this guy to get some big win streaks going. it just seems that hes not interested in fighting anyone that has a legit chance of beating him atm.

Get it signed fellas..... Tired of hearing about Mijares

Lame fight. Donaire just doesn't want to challenge himself.

Nishioka
Rigondeaux
Mares
Moreno

Why can't he fight one of these guys instead of entertaining easy fights with shot fighters like Arce and Mijares or an unknowns like Mathelkjsdf?

he doesn't want to fight rigo for whatever reason........a fight with arce would bring him more fame just based of arce's name

Its a decent fight, I dont see the reason why some of you need to feel the need to complain about it so much. It gives Nonito another belt and it will allow him more time to settle into the 122 weight class. The big fights will come eventually.

True.. makes sense from a $$$ view. But I'd rather see Donaire move up if his resume at 122 will be Vazquez, Methalnslkfd/Mijares and Arce. More money at the higher weights if that's what they want. If he's looking for easy fights then he has it right.

Nonito is gonna be 30, the windows closing. Donaire has been taking too much time to settle his whole career.
