By Chris Williams: Nonito Donaire (27-1, 18 KO’s) is being moved up in weight this Saturday night to fight for the vacant WBO super bantamweight title against Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. (21-1-1, 18 KO’s) in fight that the boxing public pretty much doesn’t care a fig about.

Donaire has wasted so much time during his career and really needs to face the best guys like right now instead of wasting a year going after the vacant World Boxing Organization strap, then Jorge Arce followed by WBC super bantamweight champion Toshiaki Nishioka.

The Vazquez Jr. and Nishioka fights are wasted time just like a lot of the past five years has seen Donaire in a lot of wasted fights. He’s had two good fights – Vic Darchinyan and Fernandez Montiel – and now he’s wasting time going after a guy that was just knocked out by Arce.

Donaire’s promoter wants to eventually move Donaire up to featherweight to fight Juan Manuel Lopez and Yuriorkis Gamboa, but by the time Donaire fights Vazquez, Arce and Nishioka, he’ll be over 30-years-old and moving up in weight after that might be harder for him. He needs to fight Lopez and Gamboa now and forget about fighting guys that are over the hill and on their way out of the sport or going after fighters that no one in the United States has ever head of aside from hardcore boxing fans.

Donaire wants to unify some of the super bantamweight titles but doesn’t plan on facing the guy that’s considered the best fighter in the division, WBA World super bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux. If Donaire isn’t going to fight him, then he should just forget about Nishioka completely and move up to fight Lopez and Gamboa. He can’t beat those guys but at least he’ll get a good payday and find out for himself about his limitations.

I just don’t want to see Donaire carefully matched like Manny Pacquiao and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. are with Donaire moved around guys like Rigondeaux like he’s a landmine so that Arum can find guys that he can actually beat to create an image of an unbeatable fighter that isn’t reality.

Somebody doesn't like Vasquez or just feels it's time to cash in. It's a shame because the guy would probably have a lot to offer if moved slower like Chavez Jr. I expect Donaire to end his career.
 
Alright fight. Donaire needs to get away from Roach. Why wouldn't Roach insist he work the body instead of headhunting as the fight wore on? Good trainer, bad coach.

You mean Garcia. Anyway, Vasquez did better than I thought. He showed his potential. I think they should have moved him slower. In his young career he's had two very bruising fights with Arce and now with Donaire, all while learning on the job. Vasquez showed the kind of heart his father had. I recommend Wilfredo Vasquez vs Eloy Rojas for anyone not familiar with Vasquez Sr. Beautiful fight and vicious knockout. Vasquez Sr was like the terminator.

Sorry, I could've sworn Freddie was in his corner. Clearly I wasn't paying enough attention. Still, the lack of adjustments was appalling.
Either way, good recommendation.
