Donaire-Montiel: What will Nonito’s reaction be when Fernando tags him hard?
December 26th, 2010
By Chris Williams: Nonito Donaire (25-1, 17 KO’s) is good at dishing out punishment with left hooks and right hands to the head, but he’s a lot different fighter when he starts getting hit hard. This was the case when he took on Rafael Concepcion in August 2009. Concepcion figured out how to batter Donaire by rushing forward and blasting away on the inside, and Donaire had no defense nor any answer to that style of fighting.
I think Donaire will do just fine as long as he doesn’t get hit the fight. However, once Montiel starts putting hands on Donaire, the fight is going to evolve into something much more similar to the Donaire-Concepcion fight where Donaire will start looking like a timid rabbit, and will start running laps round the ring nonstop while trying to avoid tasting any more of Montiel’s big right hands and left hooks.
Montiel is the type of fighter where you can’t let him hit you at all, because he simply hits way too hard to remain standing for long once he starts connecting. His power reduces his opponents into fleeing little rabbits, and I expect that’s what Donaire will resemble once Montiel revs up his offense and starts landing. Like I said, Donaire can dish it out but he can’t take shots well, and seems to stress out when he gets hit had with a flush shots to the face. He backs up and gets a panicky look on his face and starts with the old lateral movement around the ring to prevent getting hit again.

@ hmmmmm: you havent seen in ages? what era of boxing are you from? i guess you haven’t seen Nonito yet that’s why yous saying that.. hahaha not what are you gonna say about Nonito? ok i’ll help you, “nothing like i will ever see in this life time”… LOL what a shame! stop hating… from the start we all know what will happen in this fight. just look at the betting ratio. more often than not, it is right.
yeah yeah,, Montiel this, Montiel that,,, and? Montiel TKO by Nonito… yup, that’s about it… perfect left hook and Lhar’s mouth is shut.
Mr Hmmmmm sounds like you have Montiels nuts in your mouth. Donaire is way too fast, way too skillful and way stronger for Montiel. your boy is gonna get knocked the f$#$. so enjoy while it lasts keep on munching it cuz it melts in your mouth not in your hand
To all you Filipino, Donaire Nut-Huggers; Donaire is going to be beat by a TRUE champion, Fernando Montiel. Montiel has destructive power and the most composed form I’ve seen in ages. It’s going to be a tough fight for both, yeah, but Montiel’s experience and composition is going to win the fight. Montiel’s going to show all you Filipino-tards just how good he is.
Donaire loves fighting those with unique styles.. look how hard he hits! how skillful is he and how flexible is he as well! he is intelligent the way he fights, calculates distance to avoid being punished that much. strong that takes most of his opponents down, hardworking and very skillful fighter – not wasting opportunities. and most of all continuously learning in each fight.. with that, ill bet for Donaire.
Mr. Chris—you forget that donaire is technical skilled boxer. i will bet my penny for your own ego. montiel fight against donaire will be 5 rounds and donaire will prevail. your a jealous negroid uncivilized writer.
Mr. Williams, I don’t know how to break this to you but Manny Pacquiao has fought countless times in Nevada, 5 times in Texas and twice in California. Don’t you find it strange that all three states have found Manny Pacquiao clean on all their drug tests and Manny has never ever tested positive for steroids or PEDs. Including last November 13th, where he was tested after his fight with Magarito.
Of course, wr could buy into Floyd Mayweather, Jr allegations that Manny Pacquiao has never gone through an “Random Olympic Drug Test” but since when did the fighters dictate testing protocol to the athletic governing board. That would be like Mr. Mayweather telling the judge handling his domestic battery case that he was walking free because he was going to call his case the way he sees it.
Manny has never been found to have used steroids. In America, you are innocent until proven guilty.
donaire is not going to be the next pacquio because he is not taking steroids and is not going to fight at middleweights.I am mexican but i see it even it will come down on who has a better night that night.
The article should be “what will Montiel do once Donaire will tag his head with hard hittin head shots?” Montiel has never faced a fighter that hits as hard as Donaire. This will be a challenge that Montiel will fail.
you’re right bogie, williams’ has never written any article that compliments filipino boxers. i have no idea what his background is but whatever it is he’s always been biased against filipino boxers in his articles. the funny thing about him is he’s always been wrong and he never gave credit to these boxers he maligns. he’s a sore loser.
Mr. Williams, thank you for your article but I just realized that you’re the gentleman that writes all those articles against Manny Pacquiao. Now that I’ve read your article concerning Nonito Donaire, Jr., I am beginning to wonder if you are anti-Filipino?
nothing will happen to nonito because he’s a big bantam and montiel is really a small bantam,i think donaire wins because of his size,he should be fighting at 122
Yeah, Donaire will do what you sayhe’ll do because he’s an intelligent boxer. At any tate, boxing is the art of hitting and not getting hit! If Donaire lands it will be the end of Montiel and vice versa. This fight will be decided on who gets hit first.
hey chris if im right you are the one who also predicted that kahn will kiss the canvass ones he taste the powerful punch of maidana! by the way it was maidana who kissed the canvass. Are you referring also that maybe montiel will also kiss the canvass? i hope so..
monito is down for sure montiel is just to good and powerful
Donaire should win this one fairly easily, as he has too much variety and tools at his disposal. Montiel tends to flatter to deceive, invariably coming up short at championship level and I just don’t think he has any surprises to offer in this fight.
Oh, and Concepcion came in grossly overweight in their fight, it looked like he didn’t even try to shed those pounds, which was totally unprofessional and gave him an unfair advantage!
vic darchinyan punch harder than montiel….nonito ko darchinyan….im sure he will beat montiel by a knock out
As I had posted before this fight was signed I called it 50/50 chance. now roach has also analyzed the fight and says the same 50/50. this fight is about as even as it’s gets, Montiel is a true 2 fisted puncher who can hurt you with either hand or score a KD or KO when he lands solid, his power and Precision is that good. Nonito fast, good power but untested against top caliber fighters. roach has stated that montiel has the better exp between the 2 and will be a true test that donaire has not yet tasted so it should be interesting. Donaire will kiss the canvas early but get up survive and will turn into a real battle but montiel’s exp will be diff and should get the KO late prob rd 9-12
May I advise you Cris to start designing phony excuses now so when Donaire KOs Montiel, it wouldn’t be as difficult when all your bets didn’t go your way and as usual as always.
donaire by ko . i` ve seen montiel fighting z. gorres in the philippines he was just lucky to win that bout because gorres ran outof gas. i think if he faces donaire thats another story.
another moron prediction.
Probably the toughest fight of their careers. I believe the punch and experience will prevail. I will straddle my bet anyway.
DONT WORRY CHRIS I’M GOING TO TELL NONITO YOUR COMMENTS AND PREDICTION SO HE’LL HAVE THE MOTIVATION AND BE INSPIRED TO WIN,BY KNOCKOUT!!!!!DO YOU WANT TO PLACE A BET!!!!?JUST TELL IM WILLING TO BET ON NONITO.SERIOUSLY 1M$?????
YES! Chris’ prediction against Donaire… Thank you Chris!
Hey, Williams – are you making one of your “predictions”…again?! Maybe you should start saving your dollars and cents if you want to bet on Montiel. You don’t want Donaire to win, right?! In fact, it really hurts you every you hear that a Filipino fighter wins. Anyway, “good luck” on your “prediction”, xenophobe. Bwa, ha, ha, ha!
Donut-Air is not winning this one. He isn’t all that amazing anyway, and Montiel is quite experienced in fights of this magnitude.
Bad omen for montiel, Chris siding with him better go bet for Donaire.
