MANILA, Philippines- crowd have been clamoring of Nonito Donaire to patched up things with his Family and when they get to know that everything have been perfectly ended like a true story telling tale made it a sigh of relief when the meeting between two parties happened last 03 Mar 2011.
But the drama did not end in a smooth sailing way as apparently Nonito, Rachel and her Family started an ugly fight for blaming the media and called out specific scribes names. It turned out worst when the media throwed back a stone, back and forth or so.
That recent drama has been a part of his story, however, as a Boxing fan, I could care less about those stuff because personal matter has to be resolve at your own crib and retribution will be enforced accordingly. As far as the sport is concern, Nonito has gone all the way to the stardom that experts consider him one of the most gifted and enticing fighter in this generation. Technically superior boxer with great footwork, speed and underrated power.
His latest two bouts has been regarded as total domination in which he outpointed the former WBA Bantamweight Champion Sidorenko in a very brutal way all through the fourth round and was being regarded as the number one in Bantamweight division rankings. Months later, Top Rank announced the long awaited clash between Donaire and the legendary Fernando Montiel. It was the fight Nonito had been longing for as it was even postponed due to Montiel's injury occured before Sidorenko's bout.
I predicted the fight to be the easiest one for Donaire since Montiel's style really suites for him, in other words "style makes fight". And so it happened, for the first time of his career, Montiel has been floored in the second round that turned him out like a noob fighter and much worst when it turned out that the outcome caused him a hairline jaw fracture and severe rib injury. Was it because of the new nutritionist namely Victor Conte or simply the vast betterment?
Having said that, at this stage in my opinion he already cleanse the Bantamweight division (118) and there will be noone that could give him a roughneck one as challengers such as Mares, Moreno and Agbeko sloppy fighters with middling power rate, for Donaire to figure out how to beat them at first quarter rounds. Besides these fighters are below Montiel's caliber. Thus, I recommend him moving to 122 weight limit to fight Vasquez and move all the way to 126 beating future hall of famers, new comers and contenders and that he could build his own legacy beside the greats. As the matter of fact, I could consider him better than Manny Pacquiao in terms the quality of opponents.
I am more impressed to a fighter cleaning up divisions and facing quality opponents before moving into different divisions rather than a fighter who picks opponents at his own preferred catchweight to acquire titles that eventually inks his name in the history book.
