DONAIRE GETTING TIRED MAKING WEIGHT
By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Thu, 19 Mar 2015
Five division world champion Nonito ?The Filipino Flash? Donaire who has problems making the weight for his North American Boxing Federation super bantamweight title fight against Brazil?s William Prado is reportedly getting tired as a result of his rigorous efforts to trim down from around 132 pounds.
Donaire?s father/trainer ?Dodong? Donaire told the News Standard/Viva Sports that Nonito was ?getting tired making the weight? although he worked out at the ALA Gym and ran around the oval in the complex.
?Dodong? said Nonito also worked on then punch-mitts and the heavy bag and both he and Donaire studied tapes of Prado.
He said Prado ?keeps coming forward like a bull and throws a lot of punches. When he fights Nonito he Prado will want to make a statement but we won?t let that happen.?
The father/trainer said his son would spar one more time on Friday before leaving for Manila to join the other headliners of ALA Promotions ?Pinoy Pride 30? presented in cooperation with the giant broadcast network ABS-CBN at the Smart Araneta Coliseum which is the Philippines center of sports and entertainment.
The pre-fight press conference will be held at the plush Solaire Hotel and Casino on Thursday, March 26.
American trainer Rick Staheli who has long been an admirer of Donaire because of his remarkable skills, speed and punching power said he had received reports that Nonito was looking extremely good in his preparation for the Prado fight and he expects another impressive performance by Donaire in his comeback fight after the battering at the hands of Nicholas ?The Axe Man? Walters ?s long as he can make the weight without it hurting him.?
