DONAIRE?S FATHER NOT WORRIED ABOUT SCOTT QUIGG By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Mon, 31 Aug 2015  The father/trainer of five division world champion Nonito ?The Filipino Flash? Donaire is confident his son can beat WBA super bantamweight champion Scott Quigg in a title showdown set for November 21 in Manchester, England. Donaire who leaves for Las Vegas next Thursday to open his son?s training camp said ?I?m not worried about this guy Quigg. He may be heavy-handed but he is not really strong, he?s easy to hit and he?s slow compared to Nonito.? The father/trainer noted that Quigg ?has no one-punch knockout power, unlike Nonito.? However, ?Dodong? Donaire conceded ?it should be a good fight? and indicated they would have to watch out for Quigg?s overhand right. He said ?the priority is how to put him away? and stressed that ?as long as Nonito trains hard, maintains his focus and has no family or other problems in camp? he should be fine. Donaire himself told us he is ?excited? to get back to training camp and was looking forward to the fight and a chance to demonstrate his skill before British fans. In a conversation with the New Standard/boxingmirror.com Donaire said he ?feels good? and insisted ?I?m back.? Donaire believes that ?with the right strategy, the fight (against Quigg) will be easier? although he did concede that the champion ?is strong and this fight is going to be great.? Donaire is coming off easy back-to-back wins, the last being a 2nd round TKO over former European champion Anthony Settoul of France whose corner threw in the towel when he was dropped for a third time in the fight with a thundering right hand, after being decked twice in the opening round in Macau last July. Quigg is coming off a 2nd round demolition pf Kiko Martinez in his last title defense. Click here to view a list of other articles written by Ronnie Nathanielsz.  |
