Honestly... I wouldn't be surprised if Donaire loses tomorrow.
Nishioka is an excellent fighter and if Donaire goes in fighting like he did against Mathebula, Nishioka can win this.
Also, Donaire has been sporting some tape on his left knuckle. Might be nothing, but you never know.
I'll wait till tomorrow to make up my mind... might make a small play.
Alvarado is sitting at +130... I want to wait until tomorrows weigh in before I finally lay down
i was watching Mike Alvarado vs. Cesar Bazan, last night, his jab and 1-2 looked pretty good i that one, he's got a better and much longer jab than rios. i think he can win some rounds with it if he tries, and after seeing abril control rios with the jab... he probably will.
Okay, so here I am for tomorrow so far:
Alvarado over Rios @ +135
Nishioka vs Donaire over 10.5 @ +115
They are over valuing Donaire here and under valuing Nishioka. They're relying too much on the old Donaire that KO'd Montiel and thinking Nishioka's 1 year lay off will hurt him. If Donaire just throws power punches all night, it'll go the distance and I wouldn't be surprised if Nishioka wins. The only reason I'm not going all out on him is because i don't trust the judges and I don't know which Doniare will show up. Mathebula won rounds while the judges seemed to turn a blind eye to a lot of them. So until then, I'll take the fight going the distance

A war like I thought, But Alvarado got caught in the seventh and couldn't defend himself.
Donaire vs Nishioka..... not doing so well in the entertainment area.... looking to go for a decision like I thought
Hahaha, wtf?
2 judges had Alvarado tied and Rios up by 2?
Arum working his magic again.... guess it wouldn't matter if Alvarado didn't get knocked out
Just got done watching the donaire-Nishioka card. I know im a bit behind but I've just been busy so i avoided all boxing news for the few days around this card just so i didn't hear or see what happened. Rios-Alvarado was toe2toe brawl. Great sh*t. Donaire fight was ok. Really surprised how bad Nishioka got beat. So what fights are coming up ??? I know Broner is fighting soon. I'm itching for Cotto-Trout to arrive. Im cashing huge on Trout. Fully expect him break into the upper echelon with this fight. Thoughts ???
I'm in on Trout too.... but he's fighting at MSG and Cotto always wins at MSG.... so Trout would have to win by KO because I don't think he'll have much luck on the cards.
Trout can win though IMO, he'll have to win it ugly though.
Vasquez vs Quintero is on next week.... Vasquez will win... don't know if it'll be by KO or decision though because Quintero is kind of chinny
Japanese play.
Only going to make one...
I think that Takashi got it good over here. He gave Uchiyama a good first couple of rounds before he was out....... definitely have a very good chance of winning here.
IMO, a toss up
Takashi Miura over Ryuji Migaki @ -110
Nice man. What you think about emmanuel stewart. Pretty shitty. Always enjoyed his commentary on hbo.
I got it down at -110 at 5dimes. One of those international fights that aren't big in the U.S I guess, so they just tossed it up.
Thanks man, over a lot faster than I thought.
Sucks about Steward, boxing lost a great guy. I like his commentary, although sometimes it did get on the nuthuggery side, but he was still an interesting commentator.
One of my favorite recent moments of him:
Adding in the 2 from last week:
MMA/Boxing record: 26-22-1
Maybe I won't get buried this week. Boxing has not been kind to me...... but maybe after Quintero gets effed up by Vasquez, it'll get better
