grapevine241 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 not to quadruple post but read this on lance pugmire's (LA times) twitter: "latimespugmire: Bob Arum told me Steve Molitor among candidates for next Donaire fight, although better option is April's Agbeko-Mares winner at Nokia."

boxingscorecard Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 donaire is a killer, just as good as the darchinyan KO. now he has earned his P4P spot. The keyword for me is "now", though he needs to keep this level of opposition. He's skilled but cannot go back to the Hernan Marquez's or Rafael Concepcions of the world. yup, i agree. it would be a shame to go back to that. if hes staying at 118 then hes gotta fight the winner of agbeko-mares. i see a mega $$$ deal by HBO for donaire at least $1m a fight for donaire now , well thats what id be asking if im donaires manager very doubtful he gets $1m for his next fight, he only got $350,000 for this fight. the $1m is because i can see HBO offering a big contract to donaire as they will want to keep him on HBO yes he should fight the winner of the agbeko - mares fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ko Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 It was like Hatton ko but the difference is that Montiel was prime and Hatton had a bad camp and was way past his best. Donaire now is in my P4P top 5 easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skav Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 It's harsh having your titles and status ripped away just like that, as Hatton and Montiel did, but that's the reality, sometimes. It was a great performance by Donaire, and he sure deserves to be placed higher in the rankings. His record didn't really suggest much in terms of quality opposition but he showed the difference in class last night. Scott, I agree, Mora made a big screw up, for sure. He should have waved it off as soon as Montiel's legs were doing a chicken dance while he was laying down. Terrible bit of refereeing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WelshDevilRob Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Other results from the show. In a rematch of their exciting battle which took place in November, unbeaten WBO #2, WBA #3, IBF #3, WBC #4 welterweight Mike Jones (24-0, 18 KOs) won a clear twelve round unanimous decision over WBC #9, IBF #14 Jesus Soto-Karass (24-6-3, 16 KOs). This time Jones didn’t punch himself out early and issued Soto-Karass a controlled, methodical beating. By round three, Soto-Karass was cut over both eyes and Jones was in command. Soto-Karass showed a lot of heart, but by the later rounds his face was a bloody mask. Jones won by scores of 115-113, 116-112, 117-111. Soto-Karass has never been stopped. Jones retained his NABO, NABA, and WBC Continental Americas belts. Unbeaten junior lightweight Mickey Bey (16-0-1, 8 KOs) got the first blemish on his record with a sixth round majority draw against Jose Hernandez (10-4-1, 4 KOs). Scores were 76-76 twice and 78-74 for Bey. Welterweight Mark Melligan (21-2, 14 KOs) won a ten round decision over Gabriel Martinez (27-2-1-1, 14 KOs). Scores were 99-91, 99-91, 98-92. Welterweight Yordenis Ugas (6-0, 3 KOs) outpointed Carlos Musquez (3-4-3, 3 KOs) over six rounds by scores of 60-54, three times. Unbeaten super lightweight Mike Alvarado (29-0, 21 KOs) scored a fourth round TKO Over Dean Harrison (16-5, 5 KOs). No knockdowns; Harrison’s corner asked the referee to stop the fight and Harrison didn’t come out for the 5th. Source: Fightnews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
