    It ain't Donaire's fault he's being ducked. But we will soon find out. Pinoy Power and Latin Fury is being merged into one PPV(I think that's how they're doing it, lol).

    Montiel was already asked by Donaire if he wanted to fight, he turned it down, that's a fact !!

    Arce has been called out by Nonito everytime he gets, no response from Arce whatsoever !!

    Well, Donaire and Montiel are gonna be on the same card, I think this is TR's way of building it up to a showdown between the two. Good move by TR !!

      Donaire and Montiel were scheduled to fight on March 14, but Montiel couldn't make weight at 115 anymore so the fight was canceled. That's what happened.

        Are you gonna blame Donaire for that?

        Every in-ring post-fight interview, Donaire always sneaks in his wishes of who he wants to fight. Have you heard from those fighters that he has called out ?

              His whole career is based on that sole win against Darchinyan!!
              Just like Juan Ma's career is based on Ponce De Leon. LMAO. You notice of how both Juan Ma and Donaire are promoted by good ole Bob Arum don't you?

                    Because the only notable is himself. Once was Darchinyan but has moved in other weight divisions to avoid him, to avoid being knocked out again. But Vic Darch was stopped by Agbeko, he had to make an about face and lo... there is Nonito.

                      Why not fight?

                      Because he's the lower weights' version of Paul Williams. He's very tall and has a huge reach advantage for flyweights and bantamweights. Noone really wants to fight him.
