I simply can't see this version of Nonito giving any more trouble than Russell gave to Lomachenko. He's sluggish, innacurate, aways out of balance after missing a shot and his defense is horrible. Vatyeka wasn't even "warmed up" (as the pressure fighter he is, he usually gains momentum as the fight progresses) and he was hiting Donaire from a distance and outboxing him at times.
I give Donaire a puncher's chance and not much.
I think Gradovich would be a good match, Gradovich has a similar style to Salido and could give him trouble. But i actually think Loma was just too tight and nervous in that fight, he missed some great counter opportunities to both body and head, wich he didn't missed at all against the much faster Russell.
I would like to see Loma fight some mandatory defense, just to make him look good and then fighting Gradovich and then, next year, fighting the winner of Donaire vs. Walters (or Donaire - Vatyeka 2)
