DONAIRE TRIM, RIPPED AND READY; FATHER/TRAINER ?DODONG? EXCITED TO SEE NONITO PERFORM
By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Fri, 11 Dec 2015
Former five division world champion Nonito ?The Filipino Flash? Donaire looked trim and ready at the official weigh-in for his WBO super bantamweight title fight against No.1 ranked Cesar Juarez of Mexico at the Coliseo Roberto Clemente in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Saturday, Manila Time while his trainer/father ?Dodong? Donaire was all excited to see Nonito perform in the ring following the best training camp he ever had.
?Dodong? Donaire told the New Standard/boxingmirror.com after the weigh-in where Nonito tipped the scales at 121.8 pounds which was rounded off to 122, the same as Juarez, that Nonito ?had no problem making the weight? and that ?unlike before he didn?t look emaciated? by losing an average of six pounds in one day before stepping on the scales.
The trainer/father said ?that?s because he is now disciplined, doesn?t eat red meat but all vegetables and fruits.?
?Dodong? told us ?I?m just excited to see Nonoito show what he?s got in the ring? and noted that when he sparred he showed a lot of improvement? against ?in-your-face boxers who never backed off? - Fidel Navarette and Fred Bowen.
Donaire Sr also revealed that he had asked the Puerto Rican Commission to make sure they appoint Puerto Rican officials to ensure strict neutrality.
Donaire himself said there is no room for any more setbacks after his 6th round TKO loss to Nicholas ?Axe Man? Walters and said ?I know what must be done. I must win.?
