    That's cool.. BUt prior to this fight, I know for a fact that alot of pinoys refused to embrace him because he wasn't a REAL PINOY, whatever that means.. Only a very few of them gave him credit but now that he's beaten a green prospect, they're having a change of tune and acting like he's the next Pacman.. lol Typical bandwagon hopping casual fans is what they are..

    Ive always been a huge Donaire fan and my profile shows it.

    The FLASH!!!!

    IMHO, Nonito will beat Vic 10 times in ten fights though not always by KO!

    after that fight, im convinced that he would beat montiel at any weight...before, i used to favor montiel...

    to think, donaire's win over darchinyan is just as big as darchinyan's win over mijares

    name a pinoy poster that doesn't like donaire? we don't talk too much about him, but that doesn't necessarily mean that we hate him. why not like a fighter like donaire? he almost got it all, plus he's a fellow pinoy.

    IMHO, a great majority of Pinoy fight fans did embraced him and it's not a case of bandwagon hopping you're trying to portray here. A lot of Pinoy fight fans and even local boxing experts were saying before that Nonito was a better fighter than Pacquiao. I myself thought so too as I saw him as a more complete fighter than Pac was two to three years ago. Nonito is a true Pinoy, the Donaire brothers were born and raised in the Philippines although they migrated to the US as adolescents. Both even started their professional boxing career in General Santos City and were among the countries best prospects in early 2000's.

    STFU!!! you're talking a lot of ****!

    I'm not a big donaire fan but i've always see him as pinoy. He was born and raised in general santos and moved to the states when he was 10. He can speak 2 filipino dialects.

    based on the **** you're saying you're a not a 'real korean' coz you're living in the states? :patsch

    How can he not be Philippino when he is called the "Philippino Flash"? I guess someone said he is part Korean as well. Thats probably why you like him.

    the donaire camp really want to put the word "Filipino" in their moniker...it was not just put their to distinguish him from flash elorde...his brother is known as the filipino bomber..

    and both brothers suffured defeated in the hands of viloria in brian's way to secure his olympic trip...i remember that glen put on a better show against viloria as compared to nonito
