Keeping Promises: Fernando Montiel-Nonito Donaire Preview

While Fernando Montiel and Nonito Donaire are promising fireworks Saturday night in Las Vegas, devoted boxing fans are hoping their bout doesn’t evoke memories of a similar matchup four and a half years ago: Montiel’s last HBO showcase, a much anticipated but brutally disappointing 2006 clash against Jhonny Gonzalez.

I agree with this. Even though I’m really looking forward to it, it’s by no means guaranteed to be a great fight. Last year the only two fights that lived up to the hype (for me at least) were Marquez/Lopez and Marquez/Katsidis. They both promised slugfests and that’s exactly what we got.

Steve Addazio is gone! Thank you Temple!!!!
I will not buy any PPV promoted by Bob Arum.
