Nonito Donaire and Robert Garcia Interview Transcript
BOB ARUM: I am really excited about this card. We have called it “IN HARM’S WAY.” The reason we call it that is because the men fighting on this card are fighting not just to win the fight on the card but for their immediate future. Let me start with Julio César Chávez Jr…he is fighting for perhaps a fight against three-division world champion Miguel Cotto in the Spring and this severe test against Alfonso Gomez will determine whether or not he will fight a Cotto or maybe Antonio Margarito. Secondly, Nonito, who is on the call today, has to win the fight against former champ Sidorenko in order to fulfill a date that we have February 19 in Las Vegas on HBO…a match that everybody is looking forward to, against World Bantamweight Champion Fernando Montiel. Also on the card is WBC lightweight champion Humberto Soto, defending his world title against Urbano Antillon. Humberto is a long-reigning champion and the winner of that fight gets to defend his title against rising star Brandon Rios, who just fought on our pay-per-view card in Dallas. Finally, Robert Garcia’s brother Mikey Garcia is facing Olivier Lontchi and if he wins that fight, Mikey will fight on a card in March that will feature World Featherweight Champion Juan Manuel Lopez which will be televised by one of the premium networks. This card is filled with danger and should be a spectacular card at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. Today we have with us Nonito Donaire, who is one of the finest fighters in the lighter weight divisions. A world champion at flyweight and super flyweight, he now expands his horizons to the bantamweight division. His fight with Sidorenko will be a 12-round fight in the bantamweight division, and we have his trainer, who you all remember for the role he played in Dallas, the trainer of Antonio Margarito, Robert Garcia.
