DONAIRE SPECIAL ON PBO-SKYCABLE AT 8:30 TONIGHT

One hour before Nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donaire steps into the ring at the magnificent Cotai Arena at the sprawling Venetian Resort Hotel and Casino in Macau, Pinoy Box Office (PBO) will telecast a Viva Sports pre-fight special beginning at 8:30 p.m.
Exclusive footage of Donaire sparring with former WBC super bantamweight Silver champion Sylvester Lopez and featherweight Vergilio Nebran prior to leaving Manila and his back-breaking plyometrics regimen under the keen eye of noted American strength and conditioning coach Nick Curson will highlight the show.
Donaire trained relentlessly to be in the best shape of his career so far as he chases a world title in a fifth weight division against awkward and supremely confident WBA featherweight super champion Simpiwe Vetyeka of South Africa tonight.
Donaire himself said he trained 150 percent harder than before and the return of his Dad, Nonito "Dodong" Donaire Sr as trainer has been a compelling story of a renewal of firm family ties.
Donaire, the 2012 "Fighter of the Year" and formerly among the top five in the prestigious Ring Magazine pound for pound ratings is determined to display his full potential on his remarkable journey to try and capture world titles all the way to the lightweight division.
The way he trained and his non-complaining attitude in handling the absolutely demanding routine of Curson will provide viewers a new dimension of a champion eager to get back on the road to glory in a fight card aptly titled "Featherweight Fury."
The Donaire-Vetyeka fight will be telecast over the giant broadcast network ABS-CBN's pre-eminent Channel 2 at 10:15 a.m. tomorrow (Sunday).
