It?s been eight long months since Nonito Donaire has displayed his craft for a worldwide audience but the wait will end this weekend as he faces off with Omar Narvaez at the WaMu Theater inside of Madison Square Garden. And just as is the custom for all of HBO?s telecasts, unofficial ringside judge Harold Lederman will have one of the best seats in the house when Donaire defends his WBC and WBO bantamweight titles on a presentation of Boxing After Dark.
Lederman was present at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas this past February when Donaire delivered a stirring 2nd round TKO over Fernando Montiel but what took place afterwards for the Fil-Am fighter was far from glorious as a long, drawn-out legal battle took place over his services between promoters Top Rank and Golden Boy.
