Nonito Donaire vs Reymart Gaballo Fight Week is Here!


PhilBoxing.com




Super popular veteran “The Filipino Flash” Nonito Donaire (46-6, 27 KO’s) defends his WBC 118-lbs world title against undefeated skilled Reymart Gaballo (24-0, 20 KO’s) this coming Saturday, Dec 11, in Carson, California, live on Showtime, a hit war just one week away!

Who do you think will get the awesome win? Will it be the seasoned, so experienced big-heart Donaire? Or the explosive hard-swinging glory-hungry young gun Gaballo?

Importantly, the victorious warrior might be in line to unify belts against sensational Japanese super star Naoya Inoue (21-0, 18 KO’s), a war that could not be bigger.


Nonito Donaire connects a wicked left at Naoya Inoue during their fight of the year WBSS championship in Saitama, Japan in 2019.


Reymart Gaballo unloads a right straight at Emmanuel Rodriguez during the WBC Interim bantamweight title fight December last year in Carson, California.

Born in the beloved paradise island province of Bohol, the 39-year-old Nonito Donaire wants so bad his rematch against “The Monster” WBA/IBF world champion Naoya Inoue, the world’s top 118-pounder against whom Nonito battled an unforgettable war which became 2019’s “Fight of the Year.”

But for that rematch against KO King Naoya Inoue to happen, Nonito first needs to soundly and so convincingly defeat the 25-year-old Reymart Gaballo, the focused solid puncher from the town of Polomolok in Cotabato del Sur who is coming for his belt.

We are one week away!!!

May the Best Filipino Win.!!
