By Jake Donovan - Nonito Donaire hits New York City in a big way. The Fil-Am boxing star enters this weekend’s showdown with Guillermo Rigondeaux on the heels of a Fighter of the Year campaign in 2012, for which he will be officially honored by the Boxing Writers Association of America on Thursday evening.
A win on Saturday would go a long way towards strengthening his credentials as one of the very best fighters in the world, regardless of any weight class. A spectacular win would go a long way towards making everyone forget about his last trip to New York City.
“I think there will be fireworks this time,” Donaire (31-1, 20KO) promises. “It may be a chess match. We are both defensive because we can see the punches coming, but when it comes down to the fight we are both aggressive and offensive guys so I don’t think it will be anything near that fight [with Omar Narvaez] and the people in New York and the people watching on HBO will have a treat.”
