...i thought he would face carita lopez on august but it seems that they opted to fight another pinoy prospect marvin sonsona who imo is being rushed for a title fight. ..any news on donaires next fight?
Sonsona is 18 wtf I dunno maybe the kid can pull it off. I am not fan of Naire. Prefer a slugger over a tactician.
Marvin Sonsona is not fighting Donaire. There is an ongoing negotiation for Sonsona to fight Jose Carita LOpez as an undercard of the JMM - Mayweather fight. Sonsona is an 18 year old who KOed a veteran former titlist Singwancha in 2 rounds.
..all im saying is that instead of donaire, lopez will likely fight 18yr old prospect sonsona instead. sonsona had a great showing in his last fight but it is not enough to gauge that he is ready for a world title shot. damn these greedy promoters, they are rushing the kid. i hope his hype wont get derailed. now what about donaire? i hope he goes for a title shot in his next fight as a super fly
Sonsona needs to get out of that fight ASAP. Lopez has too much experience, Marvin has never gone beyond 5 rounds and Lopez has never been Ko'd. As for Donaire, I read somewhere Arum is working on Cazares for the wbo superflyweight title since Lopez doesnt want fight him yet.
i definitely agree with you on that. sonsona needs another fight that will test him before a title shot, preferably against 2 or more former champs and not drag him right away against champ lopez whos a crafty veteran. btw, donaire needs a title fight to make a statement asap. make it possible arum!
how the hell did he get this shot? He hasn't done anything. he's a boy at 18 with only 13 fights. Maybe he's there to make Lopez look good. it's looks like alota of these Filo kids get's rushed for title shots early aye?
lets give the boy sonsona the benefit of the doubt. when pac was younger he was put on a title shot right away and it was against sasakul who was highly rated at that time for beating arbachakov. if he wins, it would be career defining for a filipino fighter and ill definitely jump on his bandwagon right away.
Sonsona has many similiarities with Donaire but is no where near as polished. Its a great fight for Lopez to prepare for Donaire later in the year. Horrible fight for Sonsona building a career.
the thing thats really special about Donaire is that everyone likes to watch him fight from the purists to the bloodlusters to the mainstream fans. He has that style that just attracts fans like flies to ****.
he should give MITHULNE WHATS HIS NAME A REMATCH THAT AFRICAN WAS GOING TO KICK HIS BALUT EATING ASS WHEN THEY STOPPED IT.....
yeah. the thing is, if every prospect in the philippines gets a title shot that early. only 1 in 10 will succeed. like what's happening today. pac is a very special fighter, that's why he succeeded that way of treatment. but even pac was close to losing to sasakul. shitty promoters.
IBF has just ordered a Donaire/Mathalane rematch.. **** this.. I would be shocked if Donaire didnt relinquish his title and move up. Well this is the time to do it. No more small timers. He needs to move up and fight the big dogs.. MOntiel chipmunk etc... The Flash is a big fish in a small pond rah now.
