Stayed up late to watch Donaire v Narvaez last night. Felt sorry for Donaire, he came to fight & Narvaez just defended all night. Offered nothing in attack. Donaire won 120-108 on all 3 cards.

The fight on the undercard between Mikey Garcia & JC Martinez was more entertaining. Garcia stopped him after 4, very impressive. 27 fights with 23 KO's at featherweight. Don't know how good any of the guys have been that he has faced previously though, but he certainly looks like a good prospect at only 23.

Garcia has been mentioned as a possible Gamboa opponent.

Problem is they take so long to season these young fighters.

It was a total mismatch. Donaire was a giant compared to him.

Narvaez looked pretty skilled defensively, indeed his entire career he's been a very defensive fighter, but he had no chance of beating Donaire. If he opened up he'd just of got KO'd, thus it was an absolutely crap match-up bringing Narvaez up in weight to face him.

A good big 'un will always beat a good little 'un, and well Donaire just looked the much bigger man in there.

Yep, it was poor matchmaking on top ranks part, although 9 months out didn't help Nonitos cause.

Floyd always tries to steal some limelight when there is a Pac fight looming. Don't get excited. Pac has his hands full next week anyway. Believe that.

Fantastic weekend of fights. Burns v Kats, Bute v Johnson, Mcewen v Quillin and the best of all Angulo v Kirkland, which as far I can see is the only one not being shown here.

Typical.

Edit: Mcewen is actually on the mexico card so thats not on either.

In fights of this scale? No.

If it was the usual Mayweather/Pacquiao vs. Nobody scenario I'm pretty sure either could get away with picking the venue/date with little consequence. Not for a fight like this, and Floyd knows that.

Does happen with both all the time. One that stands out is when yer man fought that big punch bag called cliottey. Arum announced a venue and waited for a opponent. Pretty sure the Cotto fight was the same azwel. Arum is a complete arse of a man and people can't see that sometimes

Neither of those fights are anything like making a fight the size of Mayweather-Pacquiao.

Not sure about your iPhone, it's running in Adobe Flash Player if that helps?

Well there are few fights in history that equal the magnitude of pac-floyd doesn't alter the fact that it is fairly routine to put a venue and date on hold before an opponent is finalised.

I do believe it's bull shit though, just not for those reasons. If Mayweathers team wanted to enter into serious negotiations it wouldn't be done through the media and certainly not in the week of a pac fight.
