Man this tempting.

Surprising to see Nicholas Walters is a -135 betting favorite over Nonito Donaire this weekend. Donaire is +105.

This is a tough fight to call. Walters has shown he's the real deal but he hasn't fought anyone as skilled as Donaire before. On the otherhand, Rigondeaux took Donaire's soul and Nonito looked really bad his last fight.

If Nonito's head is in it 100%, he wins. However if he's still got doubts or whatever the fuck is wrong with him, I see him going down.

Very tempting with those odds to bet, you usually don't see guys in Donaire's position placed as the underdog to not very known fighters often.

Was watching a recent Donaire video and he was saying he doesn't really love boxing and boxing is definitely just a job for him. I never like to hear that from a fighter. You want to see passion.

Also, is Robert Garcia even training Donaire? I read an interview with him saying he hasn't seen Donaire all camp but he's sure his dad did a good job with him. Wtf? So his dad was training him and I assume Garcia will just work the corner? Thats all bad. Donaire likely hasn't been working on any of the problems he's shown in the past couple fights.

So his head/heart isn't in the game and he's going to show up with the same bad habits that he's developed lately. Walters TKO.

i watched the weigh ins on a stream and everybody looked out of sorts and confused as what to do lol. Pretty unprofessional for rubio to come in heavy on his first attempt.

Unfortunately you'll be waiting a while. If Golovkin doesn't look absolutely terrible in one of these fights coming up Cotto won't be sharing the ring with him anytime soon. The WBC isn't going to automatically pressure Cotto to fight him and I'm sure Cotto's camp is going to negotiate a big money fight with Canelo which they're talking about for May 5th weekend.

They will enforce the Canelo vs Cotto winner though. I think everyone knows it's gonna happen May 5th thats why GGG's manager is already looking at Murray for February.

I think Canelo would fight GGG if he gets passed Cotto. And if Cotto were to win, well then he'll be stripped and GGG can fight for the vacant title against whoever would be the next man up.
