contract after being declared a free agent from GSP. I agree this is just
a meaningless rematch 'The Filipino Flash' Nonito Donaire he destroyed
Vic Darchinyan via brutal knock out back in 2007. And there is going to
be a rematch because? I guess its just a tune up fight for Donaire to get
his confidence back after suffering his first loss at the hands of Guillermo
Rigondeaux and I agree Flash should be fighting much tougher opposition
there was talks bout Victor Terrazas fighting Nonito Donaire next if he was
to somehow get past Leo Santa Cruz. Jhonny Gonzalez, Daniel Ponce De
Leon and Anselmo Moreno are all under contract with Golden Boy so they
are out of the question. Chris John that's an interesting choice I did hear he
was going to retire after his last fight. Top Rank Inc. is putting together that
card for Texas the tentative date is November 16, 2013 also, being featured
on the card Vanes Martirosyan v Demetrius Andrade WBO Jr. Middleweight
Championship, its going to be a triple main event on HBO World Boxing.
Yes, it's true that this isn't the greatest fight out there for Nonito Donaire, but consider this.
Donaire himself is coming off a loss, so this is the same case as Manny Pacquiao being criticized by some for fighting Brandon Rios. This could be like a comeback fight more than a huge victory like the first Darchinyan fight or Montiel.
Also, Darchinyan has wanted this fight for a long time. And you shouldn't count him out as well. Anything can happen in boxing. Everyone expected Donaire to walk through Guillermo Rigondeaux, but he lost the fight.
It's an ok fight in my opinion.
Simply, this Top Ranks plan to put Donaire back on the winning track.
very bad. but, donaire is known to fight guys he easily over matches like arce
He flattened him years ago at 112, now he's fighting a past his prime Darchiniyan at catchweight of 126.
I know he wants to stay active but he's lost a whole lot of credibility in fighting old *** Darchiniyan all over again. I don't keep track of who's under the same promotional banner and which fighters can and can't fight each other, but what about Chris John, Mijares, Pnce De Leon, to name a few who are at least younger than old man Victor and would present a better challenge. If he can't fight Mares I'd much rather see him in the ring with any of those guys.
