MACAU ? At the press conference Thursday afternoon at the Venetian Macao, Nonito Donaire walked in the room with his wife and father/trainer and a small team with a big smile. He looked super relaxed. I told him 'you are back' and his eyes lit up and thank me. I think Anthony Settoul is a quality opponent with a 20 wins 3 loss record but Saturday night expect to see the Nonito Donaire, who was once rated top 5 pound for pound fighter of the world to be at this best. The eye of the tiger is back and that makes Donaire one of the most dangerous punchers in the world !
Donaire's father seemed very relaxed also. He told us Nonito's training camp in Cebu has been excellent and he got many good rounds sparring with Albert Pagara.
During the presscon, Anthony Settoul spoke well and thanked Bob Arum and Top Rank and Donaire for giving him this big opportunity to fight Donaire on a big stage in Macau and Settoul feels he has a chance to win the fight!
