[@markanthonysolon9276]

His left hook is his best punch, ultimately, was his weakness too as his career progressed. The reason for his losses??? He fell in love too much with that left hook and KO power. I like the recent older version of Donaire now, calm, cool and collected and with many variations in his arsenal.

Laurence Cole runs an independent insurance agency in Dallas. By law in Texas (and in most other states), a boxing promoter must purchase insurance to cover medical costs in the event that one or more of the fighters on his show is seriously injured. Cole’s agency is purportedly in the top two nationally in writing these policies. AND his dad was the head of the Texas State Athletic Commission, the sanctioning body for all fights in Texas. That's how he got the job and that is why he isn't going anywhere.

@@hotdog7183 I guess I don't understand the concept of weight bully, particularly in his case. When he was younger, he was faster, he was stronger, he fought at a heavier weight and he won some and he lost. He's gotten older he's lost a step or two and some strength, so he decided to go down in weight. And he still lost a fight. That's not a weight bully to me. Especially not at 39.

@@LucieOne people mean size not weight. Donaire is a skinnier guy so he fights at a weight class where he is taller and longer than most of his opponents.
