Darchinyan camp seeks possible fight with Donaire

MANILA -- Following Nonito Donaire, Jr.’s unanimous decision over Panama’s Rafael Concepcion, the camp of WBA and WBC super flyweight champion Vic Darchinyan has reportedly started working out their fighter’s possible rematch with the “Filipino Flash”.

“We are looking for a rematch with Donaire and then (world bantamweight champion) Joseph Agbeko next. Those are the fights Vic wants to get,” said Darchinyan’s Australian manager Elias Nasser in a report posted on SportsNews.ph.

Donaire, who won the WBA interim super flyweight title during his square-off with Concepcion in “Pinoy Power 2”, is the lone fighter who defeated the “Raging Bull” in Darchinyan.

“It’s a fight that people wants to see. It’s what Vic really wants. He wants to get revenge even though we feel we have gotten over that loss with Vic’s achievement in the super flyweight division,” said Nasser.

Donaire used to hold the world flyweight title he wrested from Darchinyan through a picture perfect 5th round TKO win over the Australia-based Armenian two years ago.

The Filipino Flash is currently eyeing matches against Mexican superstars Jorge Arce and interim WBO bantamweight champion Fernando Montiel.

More Concepcion ‘tricks’ exposed

Donaire’s trainer Dodie Boy Peñalosa, meanwhile, exposed reported efforts by Concepcion’s camp to cheat his ward during last Saturday’s clash.

Penalosa told SportsNews.ph that Concepcion’s supposed cheating did not end after he weighed 4 ½ pounds over the super flyweight limit of 115lbs.

He said Concepcion reportedly refused to wear a pair of 10-once gloves mandated for fighters who failed to make weight. The Panamanian’s camp reportedly threatened to pull out from the fight if their boxer is not allowed to use 8-ounce gloves. Donaire reluctantly agreed.

“Noong una sinabi ko kay Nonito masyado nang advantage yung kalaban pero talagang gusto niya ituloy yung laban,” said Penalosa. “Sabi niya pinaghandaan natin ito ng matagal. Pero naisip ko din kondisyon talaga si Nonito kaya talagang pinaalala ko lang sa kaniya na huwag na siya masyado makipag-sabayan.”

The Filipino trainer later learned that Concepcion reportedly donned a pair of Everlast boxing gloves with thinner padding on the knuckles. The gear allegedly gave undue advantage to the Panamanian, enabling him to throw the more harmful punches.

Donaire, however, chose to engage Concepcion to a tactical fight, hammering a unanimous decision despite the Panamanian’s advantages.

Donito Nonaire is not a Filipino!

Nonito Donaire is not a Filipino in every sense of the word!

Nonito Donaire is an american citizen who lives in the United states of America.

He struggles with his Tagalog and he dresses like an american thug.

He prefers to address his handful of US-based fans in english because he finds it hard to talk to his Filipino fans in Tagalog.

He sees his Philippines-based fans less as boxing fans because for him it is the americans living in the states that is buying the Pay-per-views!

They criticize Floyd Mayweather for his evasive way of boxing, but when Nonito Donaire does the same, they call it style.

I mean, where's the consistency here?

PAGBABAGO NG BAYAN AY NASA ATING SARILING MGA KAMAY AT KATAUHAN, MAGTRABAHO KA KAIBIGAN PARA SA IYONG KINABUKASAN: Remember this: God Gives every bird it's food, but He does not throw it into its nest.

Nonito Donaire is a Flash in

Nonito Donaire is a Flash in the Pan!

"Rafael Concepcion does not make weight, Donaire still promises to knock him out" - Statement by Nonito Donaire after the weigh-in.

“I think he would have went down earlier if he had weighed in at 115 pounds…I think that’s the reason why I broke my hand. I think that extra pound he had was definitely an advantage.” - Nonito Donaire's statement after the fight.

Bottom line: Nonito Donaire as a person is fake, ingrate, arrogant and pretentious.

As a fighter, he is a hoax - an overrated, scapegoating boxer who knows nothing except to run around the ring being chased by somebody whom he promised to knockout.

As to the nincompoop below, he is one of Donaire's Myrmidons who has been blinded by his master's fancy antics.


The Flash Rocks!

You're an idiot bErNie vEe!

Apparently, you don't know anything about boxing.
Boxing isn't all about knocking the opponent out. Boxing is about skills, stamina and speed. knock-out power only comes secondary because if you don't possess the 3S's I mentioned, power becomes useless.
I still believe the Flash displayed superior boxing skills in that fight vs Rafael concepcion.
I can't wait to see him whoop the asses of Arce and Montiel!

Indeed, The Flash rocks!


Nonito Donaire is a joke!

Nonito was the cheater in that fight!

Enough of the 4.5-pound scapegoat! Nonito Donaire parroted to Examiner.com writer, Dennis Guillermo before the fight that despite Concepcion's being overweight, "he will still knock him out"!

He was supposed to fight Concepcion but he ran away from him. It was not just disheartening, but humiliating to see Nonito ran around the ring being chased by somebody he swore to knockout!

Never did I see Pacquiao fight a running battle even when his hand was broken.

And you have the guts to call him the next Pacquiao? Donaire and Pacquiao is a world apart!

Nonito is already 26 years old and he hasn't achieved half of what Pacquiao achieved!

His wife conspired to get rid of Nonito's father. Rachel Marcial is a social-climber!

And by the way, Nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donaire punches like a woman I suggest that he be renamed as, Nonito "The Flash in The Pan" Donaire.

Such a bad day to be a Filipino!
