The first family of boxing? Could be. Nonito Donaire is rapidly climbing the pound for pound list as one of the most dangerous and explosive fighters in the world. His explosive knockout over the cocky and brash Vic Darchinyan, followed up with an epic performance and victory over Fernando Montiel, has propelled him to the upper reaches of the pound for pound list.
Donaire has a rather polarizing fan-base. Those who love him, really love him and those who dislike him, really dislike him. Nonito Donaire is a well spoken young man brimming with confidence and this can sometimes be misconstrued with arrogance. He’s not an arrogant person. The same thing can be said for his beautiful wife Rachel. She reminds this writer of another woman that used to be involved in the sport. Jin Mosley, former wife of the legendary fighter Shane Mosley. Jin Mosley used to manage Shane’s career. She worked a lot of the numbers, the purses, contracts, anything to do with Shane’s career. Rachel Donaire has some very similar characteristics. Both women are beautiful, smart, and they both have the bull in a china store mentality
Together, Nonito and Rachel Donaire are a force to be reckoned with. Two young people with good looks, talent, and marketability. This should make them a lot of money in the coming years.
Rahcel Donaire with her stunning beauty and no nonsense approach to business will take her far in life. Sure, she will make mistakes along the way, but who doesn’t do that? I get the feeling that she isn’t the type of person that makes the same mistakes over. This will bode well for the career of Nonito.
The couple has a way of making headlines. Some of the headlines are controversial, and some of good. This will also bode well for the couple as they continue their rise in the sport.
Thy sky is the limit for this young couple. As long as they stay grounded, and keep humble, they will make a big mark in the sport of boxing.
