DONAIRE TO HELP PENALOSA PREPARE FOR MOREL
By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Wed, 10 Dec 2008
IBF/IBO flyweight champion Nonito ?The Filipino Flash? Donaire says he will help WBO bantamweight champion Gerry Penalosa prepare for his planned title defense against former champion Eric Morel in a fight scheduled to take place in Mexico sometime in February.
In an overseas telephone conversation with www.insidesports.ph, Standard Today and Viva Sports, Donaire said he will visit the Philippines for Christmas and would himself start training by ?actually trying to help out Gerry (Penalosa) for his next fight against (Eric) Morel.?
Donaire said he ? knows Morel?s style. He is the taller guy but really doesn?t have much power but he moves a lot and that?s what I?m going to try to do to help Gerry out.? Donaire revealed that aside from ?moving a lot Morel also throws a lot of punches and combinations.?
He said he met Penalosa during the ?Dream Match? between Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao and Oscar De La Hoya and that?s when ?we decided to help each other out.?
Donaire said Top Rank promoter Bob Arum who said he was ?negotiating for a March title fight against Fernando Montiel? who is the WBO super flyweight champion with Donaire moving up to 115 pounds.
Donaire confirmed what Arum told us some time ago about his plan to work together with Solar Sports to stage the title fight in Manila in March.
