Hahahahaha, Nonito is actually born and raised in the Philippines. Can't you tell, he's an actual quality fighter who will fight anyone. So definitely not American. Haha.

Originally posted by -Kev- View PostCan someone put this opponent into context for me please? I saw an undersized guy, looked like a kid at first glance. He's like my mom's height. Was he supposed to be a killer or something? Wasn't Donaire #1 ranked in the division behind the champion Inoue? I thought Donaire and Inou were the two best at that division and other fighters had to prove how good they are by fighting them?
Or is the hype just a championship belt thing? I thought Donaire was going to win this fight going in. I was confused as to why odds had him as the underdog.
I am genuinely asking, not shtting on Donaire. I like him, he's a very good fighter. But want some context as to why everyone is so surprised he won.

But he calls himself a Jew. And if you know what a lot of Black Americans are doing in the US with the "We are the real people of God and the true Israelites" Then you know. Trust me, they're f3cking crazy. The LDBC are full of them.

Same as how we consider Jean Pascal and Bermaine Stiverne to be Canadian boxers.

I always considered Donaire an American boxer TBH. He grew up in the states, and had US Citizenship right away since his grandparents were born in Hawaii. Not to mention he fought in the US National amateur system, and tried out for the US Olympic team before turning pro.

Ah okay, yeah I didn't know he had citizenship, and that's all it takes. I'm not a crazy nationalist person who thinks you need to be born somewhere to be a citizen. I enjoy being wrong on this forum sometimes because I learn something new every time.
And yeah, I knew he fought on the US Amateur team, but I didn't know his grandparents were born in the states until today. Kind of like how The Rock is a Canadian citizen because his father Rocky Johnson is from Nova Scotia .Last edited by _Rexy_; 05-30-2021, 09:11 PM.
