Comments Thread For: Donaire Insists Unification Fight With Casimero Is Canceled, Offers Statement

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Barely a week after agreeing to terms for one of the most anticipated bouts of the summer, Nonito Donaire has placed his principles ahead of a paycheck. The legendary four-division and reigning WBC bantamweight titlist has doubled down on claims from his team of their no longer moving forward with a planned bantamweight title unification bout versus countryman John Riel Casimero. The all-Filipino clash was due to take place August 14 on Showtime, with Donaire's WBC belt and Casimero's WBO title at stake, only to fall apart over drug testing issues and a level of disrespect that Donaire finds unacceptable.

"public apology to me or NO FIGHT!".

Long gone are the days of Mitch Green, fighting simply because he didn't like people.

Now, feelings get hurt and fights get called off.

yeah but at the end of the day the one that's worse off is Casimero. Casimero needs Nonito more then Nonito needs Casimero.

Donaire is showing him who’s boss.

You would think if someone disrespected you're wife, u would want to kick his a**, is it really about his wife, or the testing?

Come On! Fans excited about this fight don't ruin the momentum

I am with Donaire 100%. That uncouth low life can take a hike.

[Sid-Knee]

I understand where the testing is concerned, but the comment about his wife is nothing but childish trash talk.

Lets hope Donaire comes round and wants to slap Casimero around on the date planned.
