[KananKrus]

By Brett Okamoto

Nonito Donaire Jr. smiles when people ask if it was hard to vacate his IBF flyweight championship belt so that he could move up in weight class.
Nope. It was actually pretty easy.

For full story...
Donaire ready for an upgrade - Las Vegas Sun


On the same card...

Steven Luevano defends his crown against Bernabe Concepcion.

Nobody seems to know about this slate, on schedule for tonight in Las Vegas, and a PPV-Top Rank promoted fight at that!

Donaire vs Concepcion (conqueror of AJ Banal), and Leuvano vs Abe Concepcion. This is a Filipino themed fight night, entitled Pinoy Power 2, by Bob Arum, in the mold of a more illustrious one, "Latin Fury".

This also features another Filipino aspirant, Mark Melligen, welterweight class, who honed his skills at the Mayweather gym, and did get a few pointers from PBF himself, on sparring sessions! He is going up against Ernesto Zepeda.

who gives a shit about the belt, what Donaire needs to do is step up the competition, tired of seeing him beat up on nobodies who are half his size, take on Darchinyan, Gorres, Arce, Nashiro, Lopez, or even jump to bantamweight and take on, Hasegawa, Agbeko, Montiel, Sidorenko, Mares, Mabuza or even Morel

Donaire has talent and is entertaining, but seeing him beat up on bums (not that i consider Concepcion a bum) doesn't take to long for it to get boring, he has the goods to hang with (not necessarily beat) most of the big names, so why not do it

Donaire's been calling all the top names for years. But did you hear any of them wants the peace of Donaires

Donaire hasn't called out shit, i've heard both Darchinyan and Montiel call out Nonito and what did he do, jump back down to flyweight

[Kev]

Can't wait to see the seventh best fighter on the planet finally in action again!

If he wins tonight the Ring will HAVE to make him top 4 at least.

He's awesome, a legend in the making, you can see that from all the quality names on his record.

Anthony Peterson is struggling against this dude from TJ. Very entertaining fight so far.

[markb018]

i have donaire link if anyone needs it just pm me. would still like jones lacey fight link if possible

[:::PSL:::]

It's gonna go to decision. Both fighters finished strong.

Peterson has no power. But I think he did enough to win.

[:::PSL:::]

Yep. UD

[:::PSL:::]

'Seeing Melligen for the first time in action. And so far, I see nothing special about him.
