MANILA, Philippines – Nonito “the Filipino Flash” Donaire is raring to put on his best performance when he enters the ring on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) for the Pinoy Power III main event against Gerson “El Nene” Guerrero of Mexico.

“"I trained really hard for this fight. I’m going to give it all I got. All my fights in Vegas, haven’t been 100-percent because maybe the pressure, maybe perhaps it’s Vegas,” Donaire told Steve Kim of MaxBoxing.com.

“Maybe it’s all of the above; everything else and I haven’t performed the way Nonito Donaire, ‘The Filipino Flash,’ has performed in different places,” added the World Boxing Association (WBA) interim super flyweight champion.

He will defend his title against Guerrero at the Hilton Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“I haven’t felt like I performed my best in Vegas. That’s what I want to bring out. To perform 100-percent going into the fight and I think that’s what they’re going to see.”

His trainer, Robert Garcia, told Ronnie Nathanielsz of PhilBoxing.com that his ward’s movement, footwork, speed and power are impressive.

Donaire, for his part, told Kim that he will keep his focus on the Guerrero bout. “I’m really committed in just going for it and not thinking about all the other stuff.”

“The Filipino Flash” headlined Pinoy Power II last August at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. He defeated Rafael “El Torito” Concepcion of Panama by unanimous decision.
