It is a sorry fight for Nonito Donaire. It looked like Frampton was toying with the aging Donaire. The 12 round fight was decided by the judges with a scoring of 117 to 111 on all tge 3 cards. It is now imperative for Donaire to retire.

Considering Frampton is shorter and Donaire has a longer reach advantage, Donaire was simply out boxed and out classed by the younger Frampton. There were 3 instances in the 7th and 8th round and 11th rounds that Donaire hurt Frampton with an uppercut and a straight jab that wobbled Frampton a bit but Donaire failed to capitalize on it. I do agree with your analysis that Donaire should consider retiring already if he loses again on his next fight.

I think Donaire still has that killer punch but the problem is that he couldn't hit Frampton who may be too fast for him or he was simply very slow now. In one news article, Donaire said that he will fight again but in a lighter division which means he is like admitting his slowness due to his weight. The excess weight may have been the factor that slowed him down.
