NONITO DONAIRE vs NICHOLAS WALTERS analysis and views

For me, what they kept on saying that Walters is "too big" for Donaire is very wrong and why? Because Nonito was able to prove that he is able to land good punches against Walters. Donaire is only a half inch smaller than Walters and their reach are almost the same.

What Donaire have done wrong is that he went over confident on the 3rd round after rocking Walters in the first 2 rounds. Donaire's footworks and handspeed gave him a 2-0 lead in the first two rounds and only a few of Walters' good blows were landed. However Donaire started to brawl with Walters during the 3rd round which wasn't really his game and that is actually Walters' advantage because technically Walters' has a stronger punch while Donaire has the speed. Donaire then was knocked down at the 3rd round.

During the next 2 rounds nothing changed and Donaire didn't managed to go back to his usual style,  the dancing and going around fancy footwork that gave him success all throughout his career. He then became desperated during the 6th round and he attacked Walters with his signature left hook but Walters simply knowing his attack stepped back and landed a powerful right that knocked him out.

This defeat of Nonito Donaire doesn't implicate that it is his end already. Manny Pacquaio lost back-to-back as well before he is able to come to his best. Donaire for me is still at his best.

On the other hand, Nicholas Walters is really a power puncher. With his punches he can possibly knockout any opponent he will fight.
