MANILA, Philippines — Nonito Donaire, Jr. remains confident that he has Fernando Montiel’s numbers going into their much anticipated bantamweight showdown slated on February 19 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada. “You can’t teach old dog new tricks. He has tremendous power like he’s had for quite some time now,” said the 28-year-old Donaire, who carries a 25 win, 1-loss card that includes 17 victories via stoppage, as quoted in Mark Vester’s write-up posted at the Boxing Scene website. read more...

Donaire vs. Montiel: Fernando needs take on some of the bigger stars after this fight
By Dave Lahr: WBC/WBO bantamweight champion Fernando Montiel defends his titles against Filipino Nonito Donaire on February 19th at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, in Las Vegas, Nevada. While this is a decent little fight that Montiel has with the 28-year-old Donaire, it’s not the kind of big money fight that Montiel needs and wants so that he can have a nice cushy retirement. For that to happen, Montiel needs to think big and go after some real stars like Juan Manuel Lopez or Yuriorkis Gamboa. read more...

Arum moving Pacquiao to CBS/Showtime won’t change anything – Manny’s still fighting Mosley
By Chris Williams: It doesn’t really matter to me that Bob Arum has decided to move Manny Pacquiao, Miguel Cotto and however many of his Top Rank stable fighters to CBS/Showtime away from HBO. The last time I checked, Pacquiao is still facing 39-year-old Shane Mosley and that is still an awful fight in my mind. Whether it’s shown on HBO or Showtime, it’s still a bad fight. It’s just a change of scenery, that’s all. read more...

Pacquiao’s Conqueror is at Jr. Welterweight
Manny Pacquiao currently sits atop the pound for pound list and will likely remain in the #1 spot until Floyd Mayweather decides whether he wants to be a full-time fighter or a security guard-beating bully. However, it could very well be the man who finally ends the reign of Pacquiao is not among the bigger guys at 147 or 154, but is currently doing battle below, in the stacked jr. welterweight division. It’s no secret that one of the major keys to Pacquiao’s success above lightweight is his speed…and the bigger, slower the opponent, the easier time Manny has had. read more ...
