Five division world champion Nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donaire who at age 33 puts his WBO super bantamweight title on the line against former Hungarian Olympian and world No. 4 ranked Zsolt Bedak of Hungary, has advised 37 year old eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao who scored a dominating victory over Timothy "Desert Storm" Bradley on Sunday, he should "take a bow and hang up his gloves."
Donaire told The Standard that for his last fight against Bradley "he fought well. Very smart and calculating in his punches. It was more of a tactical Pacquiao. He did very well in dropping Bradley twice which is something he wasn't able to do before. He did well."
Donaire noted that Manny was "patient in seeing what Bradley might do and based his attack on that" but he "wasn't as
explosive as I thought he would be. He was very calculating and did a really good job."
He said if Pacquiao wants to preserve his legacy then "yes, yes he should take a bow and know that he was one of the elite fighters" in the sport of boxing.
Donaire conceded that the ultimate decision is up to Pacquiao but he would like "to see him leaving at his height."
"The Filipino Flash" who leaves for Cebu on Saturday "to check out the weather" at the Cebu Sports Center where the fight
will be held told us "I feel great. It's amazing. I sparred 10 rounds on Sunday and maybe will do 12 rounds next. My weight is good. I am ready to go."
