Not impressed with Donaire’s victory over Sidorenko

by

By Chris Williams: Unlike a lot of fans of Nonito Donaire (25-1, 17 KO’s), I’m not about to crown him as the number #1 pound-for-pound boxer in the world after his 4th round stoppage win over the made to order Wladimir Sidorenko (22-3-2, 7 KO’s) last Saturday night. Donaire looked like Wladimir Klitschko standing next to the shorter Sidorenko, and the size advantage that Donaire had in this alone was more than enough for him to get the win. But it was the perfect opponent for Donaire to looked against.

Donaire looked huge compared to Sidorenko

by

By Chris Williams: In looking at Nonito Donaire’s win over Wladimir Sidorenko last Saturday night, I couldn’t help notice how much bigger Donaire was compared to Sidorenko. Donaire looked to be at least 15 pounds heavier than Sidorenko, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it were even more than that. Donaire already had the two inch height advantage over the 5’4″ Sidorenko, but Donaire looked heavier all around than the Ukrainian. I’m noticing that Donaire is often a lot bigger than the guys that he’s been facing. The smallish Sidorenko never had a chance and was run over by Donaire in four rounds and ended up with a broken nose for his trouble.

Donaire didn’t have to worry about the kind of power that Montiel has last Saturday when he took on Sidorenko at the Honda Center, in Anaheim, California. Donaire’s fans are crowing about this victory as if Donaire has just fought a great fighter instead of realizing who Donaire had been matched against. This was the perfect opponent for Donaire to beat and look good against, and nothing more than that.

Donaire stops Sidorenko

Instead of putting him in with a dangerous puncher, they picked out the weak punching former WBA bantamweight champion Wladimir Sidorenko (22-3-2, 7 KO’s) for Donaire to fight, and the results were impressive for Donaire.

Donaire vs. Sidorenko tonight: Will Nonito fail this test?

Image: Donaire vs. Sidorenko tonight: Will Nonito fail this test?By Chris Williams: Former IBF flyweight champion Nonito Donaire (24-1, 16 KO’s) moves up in weight to take on Ukrainian Wladimir Sidorenko (22-2-2, 7 KO’s) tonight at the Honda Center, in Anaheim, California. This fight is supposed to set up Donaire for a much bigger fight against WBC/WBO bantamweight champion Fernando Montiel next year on February 19th. However, Donaire looked terrible recently in his fight with Rafael Concepcion and it’s not beyond the realm of possibilities that Donaire could lose to tonight against the weak punching Sidorenko.

Donaire-Sidorenko & Soto-Antillon: Is this card worth purchasing?

by

Image: Donaire-Sidorenko & Soto-Antillon: Is this card worth purchasing?By Chris Williams: With Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. pulling out of this Saturday’s fight card, it means that Nonito Donaire’s fight against former WBA bantamweight champion Wladimir Sidorenko (22-2-2, 7 KO’s) will be pushed up to the main event for the fight. That seems like a nice little mismatch to me. The other halfway decent fight on the card is WBC lightweight champion Humberto Soto (53-7-2, 32 KO’s) fighting lightweight contender Urbano Antillon (28-1, 20 KO’s).
