Fernando Montiel wants a rematch with Nonito Donaire

Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico .- The five-time champion in different weight divisions, Fernando ?Cochulito? Montiel, is training in the gym, ready to take his next step in boxing, which probably is invading the super bantamweight division to find the fourth world title in different weight division, or a rematch with the ?Philiphino Flash? Nonito Donaire.

?If the rematch is not carried out, at some point it will, because it has to. But if I get a world championship fight at super bantamweight, no doubt I will take it. I?m training to be in rhythm and to keep fit.? said Montiel from the gym Kochul.

The combat against Nonito Donaire only lasted two rounds and one punch defined the fight. Fernando Montiel could not show his progress as a boxer, but he hopes to show it up in a hypothetical rematch.

?With a precise punch nothing can be done, but I have a thorn and if I get the chance, things will be different. I hope it happens, and my congratulations to Nonito Donaire because he made a great fight, but I know I could have done a magnificent fight.? He thought.

Fernando knows that this is boxing, and asks fans to not give him for dead, because he will recover, as well as other great fighters did in the past.

Although he is currently 32 years old, 14 of them has been in rented boxing, which make him a veteran fighter, but a young veteran who still has many years of career.

?I am a fighter who is not beaten, I?m careful, I?m always in the gym practicing the sport and I was born for this. Like I said, I am boxing people and I think I?m still in my prime.? Stressed.
