DONAIRE vs MATHEBULA: BATTLE OF FASHION STATEMENTS By Ed de la Vega, DDS PhilBoxing.com Wed, 04 Jul 2012  Early Tuesday afternoon, WBO super bantamweight world champion Nonito Donaire Jr and his opponent IBF super bantamweight world champion Jeffrey Mathebula of South Africa attended the LA media work out at the Fortune Gym in West Hollywood sporting two vastly different outfits with messages printed in them. Through their outfits both fighters were telling the world what they feel in their hearts. Mathebula wore a dark training outfit with his message embroidered in the right chest area. It say: ?Undisputed King of World Champions.? I would not call the South African self-centered but certainly it is apparent that he believes he is the king of kings! For a fighter who only fought twice outside of his country, that is indeed a strong statement. But until he proves it on top of the ring on Saturday against Nonito Donaire Jr, his fashion statement will only remain as such - just a statement. On the other hand Donaire wore a simple white t-shirt with a VADA logo in front with the following statement at the back: ?24/7/365 Nothing to Hide, Everything to Prove.? Doniare?s statement is in obvious reference to the VADA Testing procedures he voluntarily took to show the world that he is a clean athlete. It may also be a challenge to all those fighters out there who are ?suspects?. What he is telling them is to come out clean and give back boxing the dignity it has lost due to some cheaters. That at the very least in admirable! Click here to view a list of other articles written by Ed de la Vega, DDS.  |
