Nonito Donaire vs Fernando Montiel Feb 19th

[CHRISHOGGALYPSE]

yeah no kidding. I don't recall ever seeing that before. I was amazed the ref was even giving him the 10 count, then to shock he let him get up

I coulda swore the ref waved it off at the count of 8, then let him keep fighting when he got up? That has got to be the single quickest recovery I've ever seen from getting ktfo before. He was obviously still out of it but how did he even get up?

I think it was just pure instinct/muscle memory. dude was out.

Look at his face when he got up, dude is gone:

The only time I recall a punch harder than that and the guy getting up was chris byrd vs ike

Ok, updated on Montiel, he had a hairline fracture near the jaw/cheekbone area. Was OK, no surgery, will be going back to Mexico.

Although, other still insist he had surgery. This much is clear and unanimous- Montiel got hit really hard last night by Donaire

 

[Lamberto Quintero]

Vicious!

I think Bradley's bounce back from the Holt knockdown is the best I have seen. That hit was a show stopper and he got up like nothing.

Looking at Compubox stats Donaire only landed 2 jabs out of 31 thrown.
While Montiel landed 7 of 19 jabs.

I'm sure future fighters will look more deep into that.
