    Huge props to Donaire on this one. From the scene that talks about boxing, Nonito complained about having Eric Ortiz for his next opponent because he was already Ko'd by Brian Viloria in the 1st and by Z Gorres in 8. Undefeated Raul Martinez (24-0) whom is highly ranked at superflyweight will go down the weight to meet Donaire. Much much better matchup than Donaire/Ortiz and Donaire/Lopez.

    This is going to be a good fight, I seen clips of Martinez, he has good pop and good footwork, Martinez is as much a live dog in this one as Viloria is to Solis who are both fighting on the same card.

    March 15 is going to be the scheduled date.

    It is sure to be on TV but not sure if any of the big networks will pick it up, with the card being in PI and all.

    This card should add more Filipinos vs. Mexicans on it.
    That way Phillippines world cup title could be put up for stake.

    My coworker is Donaire's cousin and has been working on his corner for quite a while. I guess Donaire was really bummed to have to fight Ortiz and saw it as a step backwards. Too bad the Montiel fight didnt happen that would have been awesome but Ill settle for this plus ive been waiting for the Ulises Vs Vilora fight for a while

    Too bad. Donaire/Montiel would have been an explosive match up.
