Where to now for Donaire?

Never seen moreno fight, is he slick or a panamanian banger?

 

Dont everyone think Joseph Agbeko is a chump because he isnt!

 

No can't help you there SJ. Haven't seen anything of him myself.

 

No one said he was did they? :huh

In my opinion, he's a good fighter, but he can't beat Donaire in any way, shape or form.

 

Seen Moreno 3 or 4 times now....dont rate him too highly based on his 2 showdowns with Nehomar Cermeno especially.

I would expect the winner of Agbeko/Mares final to defeat Moreno.

Donaire will KO Moreno after he runs for a little bit.

 

I know, im just saying, hes a good fighter. Not to be taken lightly not even by Donaire

 

Nothing wrong with that at all...though Moreno isnt particularly dangerous and its not a fight Id salivate over.

Shows how much Panamanian boxing has slipped if this is one of their best guys at the moment.

But he is a different fight to what Donaire has faced for the most part, as he is rangy and cautious...he might have even been a handful if he had any power and bit more handspeed.
It must be said though that a rangier fighter with some ring smarts in Mthlane did give Donaire some problems...that seemed like an eon ago however.

Donaire-Moreno matchup appears likely

by Michael Rosenthal
Mar 1st, 2011

Nonito Donaire appears likely to face Anselmo Moreno in a title-unification bout -- and for THE RING bantamweight championship -- in May on HBO, probably in Oakland, Calif.

Nonito Donaire said after he stopped Fernando Montiel that he wants to unify the bantamweight titles.

Many observers thought he would go after the winner of the fight between IBF champ Joseph Agbeko and Abner Mares, though. Instead, the new WBC and WBO 118-pound titleholder is pursuing a unification fight with Anselmo Moreno, who has the WBA belt.

The fight, which probably would take place on May 28, also presumably would be for THE RING championship because Donaire is rated No. 1 and Moreno is No. 2.

The negotiations are in the early stages but Cameron Dunkin, Donaire's manager, expects it to happen.

“(Promoter Bob) Arum offered us the fight,” Dunkin said. “We’d like to go May 28 up in the Bay Area, most likely Oakland (Calif.), on HBO. He said the (the TV portion of the card) would open with Mike Jones against the Canadian, (Antonin) Decarie.

“… (Arum) tells me the fight is pretty much on.”

We shouldn’t be surprised that Arum has targeted Moreno over the Agbeko-Mares winner.

One, Donaire and Co. will be able to get back into the ring sooner by fighting Moreno because the Agbeko-Mares fight is on April 23. The winner couldn’t fight again until at least July

And, two, Mares is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions. If he wins, it’s unlikely the fight could be made because Top Rank doesn’t do business with Golden Boy. Agbeko is promoted by Don King.

Moreno doesn’t have a major promoter.

The fact that Donaire’s contract with Top Rank expires in May, according to the Donaire camp, doesn’t seem to be a problem.

“I told Nonito, ‘Let’s just fight. Let’s not worry about that now. Let’s see what Bob offers you next.’ As long as he starts paying (Donaire) better, I’d rather see him just fight,” Dunkin said.

Moreno (30-1-1, 10 knockouts) poses a legitimate challenge to Donaire (26-1, 18 KOs). The Panamanian is a tall – 5-foot-8 (173cm) -- mobile southpaw with exceptional skills but limited power. And he is battle tested, having faced a number of elite opponents. That includes Nehomar Cermeno, who he defeated by split decision in both of his last two fights.

Donaire, rated No. 3 pound for pound by THE RING, is coming off a spectacular one-punch knockout of Fernando Montiel on Feb. 19.

 

Now a days the world cup is going on in Bangladesh Cricket, which makes more entertaining as the mentioned subject like boxing which is very families in Australia.

 

:huh again in English please?

 

I was thinking the same! I have no idea what he's meaning?

 

The 'Scene' is now quoting the potential unification against WBA 118lbs champ - Anselmo Moreno 30 (10) / 1 / 0 for the 28th May at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

I hope this get's finalised. The more we see of great fighters like Donaire fighting consistently can only be good for boxing.
