    Nonito Donaire Signs With Top Rank, Faces Navarro

    Following a not so quiet split from promoter Gary Shaw, IBF flyweight champion Nonito Donaire has found a new home under the banner of Bob Arum's Top Rank. Donaire (19-1, 12 KOs) stopped Vic Darchinyan in five-rounds to capture the title in one of the biggest upsets of 2007. [details]

    Navarro is fast becoming a gatekeeper of the division now.

        Navarro isn't a bum, he was highly competitive with the title holders. He just always falls up short (See: Rocky Juarez). Should be a good comeback person. It'll be interesting to see if he can hit him as cleanly as Mijares did.

          Now Montiel has no fight for the cotto fight. Maybe we will get cotto v margo, donaire v navarro, and mijares v montiel on one card. That be pretty tight.

            Mijares is scheduled to fight a week later, so I wonder if he could be pushed back a week to fight Montiel. That's a really good idea.

            Still he really has had no tune up since his TKO of Kawashima.

              Should be a good measuring stick for Donaire to see where he will fit in at Super Flyweight. Plus hopefully signing with Top Rank will keep him active.

                    nonito is too good to be sidelined for months without a fight. he deserve to defend his belt against the best in his division. mijares or arce is a good match for nonito.

                    with arum around, nonito is in good hands... hopefully.
