Top Rank seems to be talking positively about Nishioka. HBO praises him to be the top guy in the division. The Donaire camp's fired up about this match up. All signs point for this fight to be green-lighted in the next couple fights or so.

This should be a war.

Top Rank isn't going to make a fight with Nishioka. Just watch.

It will be Arce.

Regardless of whether or not the lefty lands a date with Donaire, according to Sponichi, Honda has revealed that Nishioka will retire after one more fight. Though the fighter himself refrained from declaring that he would hang up the gloves after one more appearance, the veteran is clearly looking to finish his 17-year career impressively. Nishioka and Teiken deserve kudos for venturing out of Japan to fight Marquez in Las Vegas last year, and another trip stateside to take on a top name would be an excellent way to make that a reality.

I totally agree, and after watching WV2 box good against Donaire, and being succesful very often, I can see Nishioka outboxing donaire.

So not gonna happend, it will be Mijares and Arce, wish is a shame!

Not too hopeful about that.


I can see all the excuses already.


He's going to want too much money. He isn't known enough. He wants too much in negotiation. He had his chance and now he's a coward. We want Arce!

You have to fight the best even if they have speed. Not just slower guys that make you look good.
I hope Donaire doesn't become a speed dodger like Pacquiao.
