GLENN DONAIRE HAS REVENGE ON HIS MIND By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Sat, 12 Jul 2008  Glenn Donaire, the elder brother of IBF flyweight champion Nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donaire has revenge on his mind when he battles IBF light flyweight champion Ulises "Archie" Solis for the title in Sonora, Mexico on Saturday. In an overseas telephone conversation with Viva Sports/Manila Standard Today Donaire said he wants to avenge the TKO defeats inflicted by Solis (26-1-2, 20 KO?s) on countrymen Rodel Mayol who lost by an eighth round TKO and Bert Batawang who lost by a ninth round TKO, last year. Donaire (17-3-1, 9 KO?s) said "I?m looking for a knockout. I really want to win" saying that both Mayol and Batawang were nice individuals. Donaire said he had spoken to Mayol about his loss to Solis and Mayol told him he got tired because his preparation for the fight was lacking. There won't be a similar problem with Donaire since he has trained well and used Nonito who duplicated the style of Solis as a sparring partner. Besides Nonito was much faster than Solis. Glenn said he was "ready to go twelve rounds," if he has to. Donaire said he was "feeling great, relaxed and don?t feel tense at all" and has no problems with the weight. Donaire wants to create history by joining brother Nonito in becoming the first brothers from the Philippines to hold two world titles simultaneously. Although Gerry Penalosa and elder brother Dodie Boy Penalosa were both world champions, they didn?t hold titles simultaneously. Nonito himself earlier expressed confidence that his brother would win the world title saying Glenn was "ready to make things happen." Despite his record of 20 knockouts in 26 wins, Nonito claimed that Solis "is not tough." The world champion added that Solis "doesn?t want to get hit because every time he gets hit, he gets rocked." Nonito believes that Solis wouldn?t be able to take Glenn?s best shots. Click here to view a list of other articles written by Ronnie Nathanielsz.  |
