WBO/WBC bantamweight world champion Nonito Donaire sat down with 8CN and spoke about his next fight Vs. Omar Andres Narvaez. This fight is scheduled for Oct 22nd in New York. Donaire also breaks down Pacquiao Vs. Marquez and Mayweather Vs. Ortiz.

He recently signed a contractual agreement with Top Rank and is looking forward to moving forward and having a huge 2012. Check out what else one of the pound for pound greats had to say.

8CN ? What’s up champ?

ND ? I started training and my body is hurting some but hey that’s part of why I’m in this game. I am glad to be back, I feel good.

8CN ? Your next fight is Oct 22nd. What do you know about Narvaez?

ND ? I don’t know much about him. I know that I wanted to fight him when I was 112lbs. I don’t know much but he’s southpaw and he’s moving up. Aside from him being a veteran in the game, I heard that he is good defensively.

8CN ? What type of fight is this for you?

ND ? Well Narvarez knows how to fight. He knows how to give me a good challenge. He’s a good fighter and I can’t overlook him. I am going to train really hard for this fight. After this fight I am going to move up. My mind is looking forward to bigger fights out there too so it’s hard to focus sometimes. Narvarez is definitely someone that I can’t overlook though.
