WBO super bantamweight champion Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire is unfazed by the statements of WBA champion Guillermo Rigondeaux who claimed in an interview with Zone Radio that the four division world champion “faced a group of dead men and I’m able to knock out all of them in one day.” The two-time former Cuban Olympic gold medalist said Donaire “will be surprised.

Undefeated former Olympic champion Guillermo Rigondeaux (11-0 with 8 KOs) of Cuba said he is very confident of overcoming unified 122-pound Filipino champ Nonito Donaire (31-1, 20 KOs) on April 13 in New York. Rigondeaux feels disrespected by some of the recent comments that came from Donaire and his trainer Robert Garcia. "Nonito doesn't really know a true double Olympic champion. He better be well be prepared, because on April 13 I'm going to [hit him with] him a lot of leather. He has not fought anybody.

Donaire: 'I’m a Better Counterpuncher than Rigondeaux'
Junior featherweight world champion Nonito Donaire sat down with BoxingScene.com/CSNBayArea.com last Thursday and touched on a variety of topics leading up to his Apr. 13 fight in New York City with Guillermo Rigondeaux. The “Filipino Flash” has been preparing for the bout at Radio City Music Hall in the Northern California city of San Carlos with Brian Schwartz and Mike Bazzel. Reigning Trainer of the Year Robert Garcia is slated to periodically check in from Oxnard, a five-hour drive south of the gym. “I’ve really been focused on this camp more than I’ve ever focused, so there’s no excuses,” Donaire (31-1, 20 KOs) said. True to his word, Donaire wakes up at 4:30 in the morning on conditioning days and has added pool workouts to his already demanding regimen, which partially consists of interval sprinting on the track and utilization of the hypoxic machine to simulate a high-altitude training environment. Camp would not be complete without sparring, and in addition to local fighters like slick junior bantamweight Bruno Escalante, manager Cameron Dunkin is sending Donaire a few new lefties of various sizes to tangle with as well. “It’s been excellent work,” Donaire said of the sessions so far. “These kids they brought me just keep coming, and I like that they don’t hold back.”
