Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Reymart Gaballo (WBC bantamweight)
IMO, it's not really a huge fight, although Gaballo is younger and undefeated the quality of opponent Donaire beat is higher than what Gaballo had beaten, it's a big test for Gaballo but for Donaire, it should be an ordinary day in the office comes the day of the fight.
While I agree that Donaire is without a doubt the best of the two and this must be reflected in the odds about who should win the fight, at the same time I do not think it is healthy for him to have the attitude that since he has beaten better fighters in the past then he's going to beat his current opponent with ease and that there is nothing to worry about, we have seen that attitude many times in the past and it never ends well, boxers need to take seriously their opponents because only one punch is needed to change the outcome of any fight.Still a good fight in my opinion, Donaire still wants to proved that he is still in the elite level and then the young Gaballo trying to make a name for himself. And then the style of this fighters, so it will not be a snooze fight, all Filipino inside the ring, what more entertaining than that?
Donaire has a quick work against Nordine in his last fight, so for sure he still has the mentally to trade very hard and take every fight one at at a time and training very hard.
I'm trying to look at who is the current trainer of Nonito, but the result came to my surprised, it was Rachel Donaire, the wife, Lol. Probably its more of strategist or game planner, I don't think that Rachel can go and hold the mitts should Nonito is giving it a hard shot.
