    Donaire is something special and he's gonna get better and better imo. The lad seems humble which is a major plus point.

    You should read the comments on some of the Filipino News Outlets, it's hilarious they seem to think he is too cocky and their comments are so clichéd and philosophical.

    :lol: i thought they would be loving him.

    I'm on his fb. He really seems nice lad. He's a U.S Filipino so i suppose he's bit differently viewed back home to many. I think he's a good lad...his missus is his **** talker. She talks him up all time :lol:.

    I'm watching some of Donaire's older fights and I think he looks a lot bigger then he did in his earlier days if that it possible, he also has tidied up his skills and his Ring IQ. Always throw very quick shots with impeccable technique.

    I have noticed there are many videos flying around, I think it is safe to say she wears the trousers.

    Here are some of the comments from the Phillipines Star (One of the top broadsheet papers)

    Not critical but made me laugh

    To be fair for the most part they were loving it though, seems to be a pretty big deal from looking at the ABS-CBN Page, Filipino's are funny they refereed to it as the game, love it.

    He has the frame and skill to move up in weight but he is 28.

    Pac may not have been as skilled in the lower weights but he was a beast(speed and power) compared to Nonito

    Victor conte must be doing his job well then!


    Odds next on Andre Ward starting to display power we never knew he had because hes 'sitting down on his punches more' or some bull****?
