BREAKING NEWS: NONITO DONAIRE WILL FIGHT ON THE COTTO-MARGARITO TIFF By Ed de la Vega, DDS PhilBoxing.com Tue, 17 Jun 2008  I just got off the phone with Nonito Donaire Sr., who informed me enthusiastically that his son, Nonito, Jr., the IBF/IBO World Flyweight champion has finally landed a fight. Nonito Jr will be fighting on the undercard of the Cotto - Margarito Fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on July 26, 2008. His opponent is still undetermined as of this writing and an announcement will shortly be made as soon as he is known. The fight is meant as a tune up for Donaire Jr after having been inactive since he TKO?d Luis Maldonado in Connecticut last December 2007. This fight will be the first fight for Nonito Donaire Jr., away from his former promoter Gary Shaw who released him from their contract recently. After this fight, Nonito Jr has been tabbed by Lou DiBella to fight Christian Mijares for the WBC-WBA flyweight title. The fight date and location will be announced shortly after all the contracts are signed. Donaire Sr., also informed this writer, that his other son, Glenn will definitely fight Ulisis Solis for his IBF light flyweight belt at Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico on July 12, 2008. In the mean time his new prot?g?, a Mongolian fighter named Bachuu Otgonthuluum won his first US fight last Friday at Reno, Nevada. He beat a Latino named Omar Valencia. Valencia was downed in the 2nd, and then was TKO?d on the 3rd round. The fight was at 124 lbs weight limit. Click here to view a list of other articles written by Ed de la Vega, DDS.  |
