Former World Boxing Champion suffers “curse of the gifted”

The former champion of the world Nonito " Filipino Flash" Donaire now suffers the "curse of the gifted," which was the reason for his knockout to Jamaica's Walters in his recent fight.

According a boxing analyst Mr. Kellerman, who counts himself as big fan of Nonito and watched his last featherweight title defense against Walters.


"I think Donaire suffered from a case of 'curse of the gifted,'" Kellerman said in interview after watching Nonito knocked out by the “Axe Man” Walters in sixth round of their title clash.

"When you're as physically gifted as he is, that much faster, and hit that much harder than your opponents, then you never have to develop classic boxing skills," the analyst added.
"That's gonna be a problem for him now especially in a weight division where he doesn't enjoy a size advantage," he added.


The former boxing champion Donaire now planning to take break from boxing, but plans to return next year at lower weight class.
