Word around the camp fire is that Donaire is going to be training with Freddie Roach. Is this true? What's the status on that?

Well i know that Donaire and his father who was training him have parted ways and Roach has expressed interest in training him but according to an interview ( http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx...bCategoryId=69 ) hes getting Bobby Villaver and Morris East in for the Montiel fight:
Reacting to reports that he has severed ties with his father-trainer Nonito Sr., Donaire confirmed they’ve gone their separate ways.
“No matter what, I still respect and love my dad,” said Donaire. “But yes, we’ve had a falling out. I’m disappointed but we’ve got to move forward. At the moment, I’m looking for a trainer who won’t change my style, who’ll work with me without imposing what he wants me to do. I’m really looking for an assistant to train me, someone who can hold up the mitts and get me going.”
Donaire said he’ll probably call in Hawaii-based Bobby Villaver and former superlightweight champion Morris East to work his corner against Montiel. Villaver was his amateur coach and East, who now lives in Las Vegas, joined his corner for the Mthalane bout.Comment

Boxing has ALOT of great new talent coming into 2009,but the fighters i see breaking through are Angulo,hes only had 14 pro fights and hes got a fight with Mayorga next
Gamboa will be doing big things in 2009,i see him picking up a title
Victor Ortiz can become a popular boxing figure,hes got the tools to capture the mainstream,and he hits harder then a mother****er too
Danny Jacobs,HBO are already showing his fights,and i see him being on HBO much more in 2009,he'll get huge exposure
Juanma Lopez is the next PR starComment
