Five division world champion Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire feels “amazing” after sparring eight rounds with former WBA bantamweight champion Koki Kameda and flyweight Joebert “Little Pacman” Alvarez in Las Vegas.

TOP Rank promoter Bob Arum isn’t someone you take lightly when it comes to hyping a fight card. Sensing the less than enthusiastic response to the World Boxing Organization welterweight title fight between champion Jessie Vargas and eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas on Nov. 5, Arum pulled off a masterstroke that suddenly fired the imagination of fight fans, especially Filipinos, who didn’t seem too excited about Pacquiao’s return to the ring against a champion.

Five division world champion Nonito 'The Filipino Flash' has picked Cuban Ismael Salas as 'main trainer' for his fight against unbeaten Jessie Magdaleno at the Thomas & Mack Center on November 5. Donaire informed The Standard that Salas will work with him in Las Vegas and told us that his new trainer who replaces his father/trainer “Dodong” Donaire who didn’t want to work in Las Vegas and wished to spend time with his family in San Francisco and concentrate on managing his Gym will help out in “the physical part in the next eight to 9 weeks of training” since he is “mentally ready and have done what I need to do psychologically and mentally and will be ready to fight in a month or so.”.

Jessie Magdaleno is about to get his career wish - world title fight before a hometown crown. Magdanelo, who is a Las Vegas resident, is close to a deal to challenge WBO super bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire on November 5th at the Thomas & Mack Center.
