Fernando Montiel Sees Tough Fight With Nonito Donaire

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBO super flyweight champion Fernando Montiel (38-2-1, 28KOs) predicts a very tough fight when he defends his title against Nonito Donaire (20-1, 13KOs), who is also the WBO's flyweight title holder. The fight takes place on March 14 at Araneta Coliseum in Metro Manila, Philippines. Showtime is said to be televising. [details]

Good fight hopefully SHOWTIME does pick it up if not this would be a great fight for Versus!

[MakeDamnSure]

Donaire by late TKO or wide UD. I want Donaire to snatch Vic's 3 belts and make it a 4 belts + ring belt unification match.

donaire stops montiel in middle rounds.

It would be a good alternative to the boring Dawson-Tarver rematch on HBO the same night.

Come on Mark Vester, Nonito is an IBF flyweight titleholder not WBO!

lost in translation

Mark, Montiel didn't say the fight itself was risky and dangerous - he said fighting in the Philippines is risky and dangerous.

This is his direct quote in spanish:
"No hay nada seguro, tenemos que ver muchas cosas todavía, entre ellas la bolsa, porque ir a pelear allá es muy demasiado riesgoso y peligroso"

It's funny that he said that, because I remember him getting a gift decision againts Gorres in....that's right...in the Philippines.

I wanna say Montiel, but I got a feelin Donaire is to strong and will stop him.

Exactly what I think, I thought we'd were getting Mijares-Montiel at this point.
