Comments Thread For: Nonito Donaire Stepping Things Up in Training Camp

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

2012 "Fighter of the Year" Nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donaire is revving up for his rematch with Australia's Vic Darchinyan who has been chasing a return bout ever since he was knocked out by Donaire in the 5th round and lost his IBF and IBO flyweight belts on July 7, 2007.

Well-known producer of top-class mouthguards Dr. Ed De La Vega reported that Donaire drove from his home in Las Vegas to Oxnard, California to train at the gym of 2012 "Trainer of the Year" Robert Garcia.

Accompanying Donaire was his Dad, Nonito "Dodong" Donaire Sr and promising Filipino fighter Marvin Mabait who sparred four rounds with Donaire after the four division champion did six rounds with a tough Mexican kid who trains at Garcia's gym.

Dr. De La Vega said Donaire weighed in at 131 pounds as he prepares for his ten-round debut as a featherweight.

Stepping things a week and half before fight?

Didnt know this was a 10 rounder

Pity he couldnt step up his level of competition

In what manner can you beat Vic better then you already have? Seriously... You KOed the dude in a devastating fashion and 12rd UD doesnt make things look better...

Garbage match up..

I hope for Donaire's sake that he beats Vic! As an aside, I hope Mikey Garcia trounces Roman Martinez (this kid doesn't deserve to be near any kind of belt). Overall, nothing to get excited about in terms of must watch fights.

Wtf

I was into this article until arum was mentioned. Im glad this is free cause i would never pay to watch either fight. Garcia is another chavez jr. Doesnt respect the sport. As for Donnaire yeah beat up vic cause you want no part of Rigo

Feels weird

It's going to be a great card. I'm also looking forward to the Andrade-Martirosyan fight.

Yeah Martinez lost his last 2 fights and some say he also lost his last 3. I want Garcia to fight Gamboa.

Garcia is another Chavez Jr.? Because he missed weight ONCE? Have you actually seen him fight? He is worlds above Jr.

And Donaire wants no part of Rigo? He fought him when he could have probably avoided him and gotten away with it. He deserves respect for taking a risky fight even though he didn't have to, yet all he gets is sh.it. And I'm sure he would gladly rematch Rigo after a confidence booster or two.
