i think donaire was at his best a few years prior to the walters loss...when he was cleaning out guys like jorge arce he looked great. for me his absolute best was when he was wrecking guys like darchiniyan.......but that was 10 years ago!
a switched on frampton wins on points by a couple of rounds i think....
agree he hasn't looked stellar of late though
The Walters defeat was a bad one physically (Donaire's first/only KO loss), but psychologically I don't think was the same fighter after Rigondeaux. Until that point he was considered one of the p4p best in the business, had just been awarded fighter of the year and was the heir-apparently to Manny Pacquiao...but was so comprehensively out-boxed that night I don't think he's looked the same fighter since, even though he went on to win two further world titles. Unfortunate for Donaire, but at his peak, and at the right weight, Rigondeaux was something else...a switched on frampton wins on points by a couple of rounds i think....

Why do people pay to watch/attend tune up fights?
40 seconds for the Kahn fight against a non-opponent. Commentators banging on about how good Khan looks when the fight, to me, told us nothing about how he will be against a proper opponent, won't be Kell Brook as Khan had his minders crowd him out, and then ran away
Brook was too polite, should have gotten into his face.
Wonder if he will go back to Virgil or stay with Joe, will be good to see Khan and his speed against a decent opponent this year.

It's a shame for Khan really, he'll never be able to do enough for some people. Le Greco was a perfectly reasonable match up on paper, not a top 5 guy but a seasoned world level competitor. Khans hand speed is certainly still there and it's a hell of a weapon. Him and Kell is as good a prospect now as it was 2 years ago I think, for different reasons. Hope we see it this year.
Solano Tete looking razor sharp, composed and excellent as ever on the other channel.

Just caught up with the results tonight. Benn as always was all action. He father was a favourite of mine, and I think Connor is going to be fun to watch as well, he certainly doesn't sit back and let the fight come to him. Could be interesting to see Josh Kelly and Benn match up in the next couple of years.
TopRank makes offer for Kahn to fight Crawford if he wins against Horn
