Donaire Ends it in Two, bags WBC Title

I wasn't able to put up a preview of this fight but I was really expecting a good fight from Donaire here.  He has the speed advantage, slight edge on power, and just overall skills than Montiel, but the Mexican is no champion for nothing. It was going to be a good fight, so as I thought.

This was over quick, not disappointing but stunning. The first round it quickly got me that Donaire is going to dominate Montiel as he was all over him, hitting a left hook that really shook Montiel. He was never the same after that.

The second round, Montiel was finding his rhythm, being more aggressive. But Nonito Donaire was just getting off Montiel so that he could counter. And then boom. A nasty left hook hit Montiel right in the jaw. Montiel dropped on the mat so hard that his having involuntary reflexes and started kicking in the air. It was such a scary site when his head contort like that.

Props to Montiel being able to stand up on his feet again, I dunno why he was able though. But a couple more shots to the face and it was over less than a minute into the round. New WBC Bantamweight Champion.


Again, I say that Nonito Donaire is the heir apparent to Manny Pacquiao only that he has better English and way more good looking. Celebrate Philippines!
