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

[Clegg]

A shame they tried so hard to avoid VADA that it killed the fight. We've seen before sometimes a fighter scores an upset win and then tries to avoid extra drug testing for their next big fight.

Should do Donaire-Rigo II instead

Not giving him the payday is better than giving him a beating.

Now Casimero can go fight for peanuts somewhere else.

As if casimero ever cared about payday. Fighting for peanuts was never a problem

Good. Then their should be no problem. Both can move on easily.

"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.

The best post of the week.

Morals at an all time low....petty cowards on boxingscene calling nonito petty...if someone said that kind of stuff about the mother of my kids, I would take the same approach.

C'mon, you know that no woman on earth would ever sleep with you which would be necessary for you to have kids in the first place.

Donaire is one of those few guys that you can say has been 100% clean for basically his while career so I'm fine with him taking a stand on this. The delay definitely seems shady on Casimero's part, what reason is there for the delay if he's clean? I think it's absolutely fine for Donaire to take exception to Casimero attacking his wife as well, if you're a real man that's a line you never cross unless you've got a really damn good reason to.

Hopefully this means that Rigo gets reinstated for that fight. Obviously there's something about him that had Casimero concerned, otherwise he wouldn't have ducked that fight to begin with. I'll be rooting for Rigo to beat him.

5 days is not that big of a delay. There were times when delays for such things were weeks and months. 5 days is not that big of a delay in the boxing world.

I agree 100% with donaire. That being said, it is a major drawback from having your spouse as your manager, especially in a business as murky as boxing. Surely Mrs. donaire has to deal with all kinds of misogynistic grunts on a daily basis. It’s safe to say that if someone had offended a manager that was not his wife the fight would be moving on as planned.

I respect Donaire! No need to bring wives into this! No Bueno! Rigo, time to step in! MAN UP!

[Get em up]

I completely agree with the VADA testing for the fight but if the paperwork is signed and turned in just whip his a$$ for trash talking your wife. That's a simple fix.

I'm backing Inoue to destroy this coward Nonito!

Coward? Interesting choice of words. The guy is canceling a fight because his opponent is dragging his feet on drug testing. The guy in your sig pic actually once backed out of the biggest fight in boxing history because he was scared of needles.
