Donaire has had some difficulty making the 118-pound limit of late and has decided that a move up in weight class is in order. His first fight at Junior Featherweight is expected to be a one-sided affair as most boxing experts believe that his power will be far too much for Vazquez Jr. to handle.

Donaire is on a 25-fight win streak that includes 17 stoppage wins. If there’s one area where Donaire could prove vulnerable it would be that the larger opponent could be a new test to his chin and stamina.

Vazquez Jr. was able to rebound from his WBO title loss to Jorge Arce with a win over Roberto Carlos Leyva in his last fight, but he will be in the ring against one of the hardest hitting Junior Featherweights to come along in a long time. Vazquez Jr. will need to stay away from Donaire’s power and attempt to out-box his way to a decision victory.

This bout is sure to be a crowd-pleaser as both fighters will come to fight. A slugfest is likely to ensue, and that makes the underdog option a little more tempting than usual as the chances of Vazquez Jr. landing a heavy shot increase in that type of fight. However, if Vazquez Jr. can’t land that big shot he’s likely in for a painful night.
