              I cant find the fight camp 360 vid after one of the Ward fights when Nonito was in his dressing room and they were talking about how they came up together in the same gym. Here's another vid though of Nonito talking about Dre

                  Glad I'm not the only one who wasn't aware they trained together since they were kids. I thought late teens or something like that.

                  Here's a bit more of a background, it was 1994, Donaire was 11 and Ward 10 (and got beat up in sparring by 15yo Glenn Donaire): http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...SP091JG19F.DTL
