Freddie Roach To Train Donaire For Possible Montiel Battle

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Freddie Roach, considered a cinch for “Trainer of the Year” honors for his remarkable work with Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao will soon begin to train IBF/IBO flyweight champion Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire. [details]

Donaire has a bright future in the sport, and his frame looks like it could easily hold more weight, so he might eventually follow a similar path as Pacquiao. Doubt we'll ever see him in the 140's, but I would have said the same thing of Pacquiao 3 years ago.

i'm backing Montiel in this match-up

although i'm not too well acquainted with Donaire apart from one or two fights... what is his chin like?

Donaire got hit flush several times by Darchinyan but nothing really happened. His chin is great.

Good news for Jun!! Good news for pinoys.

[The Slickster]

I love this guy!
He is like a Filipino version of Sugar Ray Leonard@!
Good luck to you.

[SceneSpectator!]

Hope he would overcome Montiel for a most probable rematch with Darch, I just can't wait!

Finally, Jun got the chance to fight again. Shaw screwed Nonito's carrer for his boy toy Vicky.

If Roach connects with Donaire (is Donaire sufficiently humble to accept that he is imperfect and yet requires the guidance of one such as Roach?) in the way that he has bonded with the Pacman, the possibility exists that Nonito could carry Pac's torch, imo.

Freddie Roach will make another champion out of Donaire. He's will probably be the next great boxer from the Philippines. JAT
