Rachel Marcial's FHM April
Ever tried your skills against Nonito?
(laughs) We shadow spar. Actually, we help each other train. I help him with his plyometrics and footwork, while he holds the paddles and bags for me. No, really. Do you get really physical when during lover’s quarrel?No. But you know, I totally think it’s the easier way, di ba? Kasi at least if we’re throwing punches and kicks at each other, the bruises will heal. I’d rather fight like that. But honestly, we just take time to be apart.
Do you think your passion for fighting carries over to the other things that you do?
Everything is very passionate, all that emotion is in everything we do—whether we’re running, or we’re training, lounging around, and wrestling or something.
Tell us more about that "something" you do with each other.
Well it's not training all the time naman for us. (laughs) We relax and get to do something else.
Like?
One time in bed...
Okay, go on...
We were wrestling and I got him in a rear naked choke. He couldn't escape. He can't win against me in wrestling. (laughs)

October 7, 2006, Donaire got a shot at Vic Darchinyan's IBF flyweight title. However, he lost to Darchinyan by a sixth round technical decision. The fight was stopped in the 4th round due to a broken/locked jaw suffered by Donaire from an elbow attack. The scores were 60-53 on all three cards for Darchinyan. For 1 year, 4 months and 15 days, Donaire had been inactive. His defeat however was avenged by his younger brother, Nonito, who later knockout Darchinyan and won the title.

Nonito Donaire Jr. (IPA: [dɒ'niː'rɛ]), nicknamed The Filipino Flash[1] because of his speed and reflexes (born on November 16, 1982), is a Filipino boxer and the current IBF and IBO world champion in the flyweight category. Born in Talibon, Bohol, raised in General Santos City in the Philippines, he resides in San Leandro, California. Donaire is trained by his father Nonito Sr. and his cornermen are his cousins Arvin and Brian Jugarap. Some people don't know how to pronounce Donaire's last name. Because of this, they mispronounce it as (IPA: [do'naːr]). In reality, it's pronounced (IPA: [dɒ'niː'rɛ]).
Contents[hide] |
[edit] Amateur career
Nonito won three national amateur tournaments. The National Silver Gloves in 1998, National Junior Olympics in 1999, and the National USA Tournament in 2000. Donaire also won the International Junior Olympics in 1999.[2]
Donaire made it to the finals of the US Olympic Trials in 2000. However, he lost to a fellow Filipino American, Brian Viloria who eventually became former WBC world light flyweight champion, in a controversial decision .[citation needed]
Nonito is very proud to be a Filipino boxer and has worn the Philippine flag on his trunks for his entire career.[citation needed] He wears red boxing trunks, which symbolizes war and aggressiveness, in contrast to the trunks his older brother Glenn wears, which is blue to represent the other half of the Philippine flag.
Nonito Donaire's amateur record was 68-8 with 5 TKO's.[citation needed]
[edit] Professional career
Donaire turned pro in 2001 and lost his second fight. "That was the only guy Rosendo Sanchez I was not able to knock down," Nonito remarked as he followed up, "It was a close fight that I thought I won, but it could have gone either way."[citation needed]
September 9, 2002, Nonito Donaire won his first regional title by defeating Kaichon Sor Vorapin for the vacant WBO Asia Pacific flyweight title in Guam. Donaire knocked out the future world title challenger in the second round. "I took that fight on short notice and basically so I could afford to go home," Nonito recalled about the encounter, "I knew I wasn’t in the best shape that fight and that I couldn’t go the full twelve so I tried to take him out early and he couldn’t take my punches."[3]
January 20, 2006, Nonito won his second regional title, the NABF super flyweight title, by defeating Kahren Harutyunyan on Shobox by split decision. The scores were 97-92 twice for Donaire and 95-94 for Harutyunan. [4]
October 7, 2006, Donaire added the NABO super flyweight title and successfully defended it against veteran Oscar Andrade by the scores of 118-109 and 116-112 twice. His older brother, Glenn Donaire, fought and lost to Vic Darchinyan on the same night.
Donaire won the IBF flyweight title with a 5th round knockout of undefeated southpaw Vic Darchinyan on July 7, 2007.[5]This victory was awarded Ring Magazine's "Knockout of the Year" and "Upset of the Year" on December 23, 2007.[6][7][8]
Since his victory of Darchinyan, he has tried to challenge the remaining title holders in his division. Specifically Daisuke Naito, the WBC title holder, and Takefumi Sakata, who holds the WBA title. However, Japan's boxing commission only recognizes the WBA and WBC as legitimate world titles and does not at all acknowledge the IBF or the WBO thus making such match ups impossible for Donaire.
On July 31, 2007 Donaire met Philippines President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo along with Florante Condes, who won the WBO minimumweight title on the same weekend as Donaire. Donaire said the experience was “an overwhelming feeling. It was indescribable. The moment I walked up the stairs and she was up there and when I looked it was a moment when I couldn’t even look at her face. It was a great honor.”[9]
On December 1, 2007, Donaire defended his title against Luis Maldonado of Mexico by technical knockout in the 8th round in his first title defense to keep his IBF flyweight crown. Donaire stated: "I guess my validation was today but I didn't feel my best; I felt sluggish. I didn't have my legs. I don't know what the problem was. I couldn't move well so I tried to rely on my upper body movement." [10]
On February 16, 2008, Manila, Philippines, Donaire received the Philippine Sports Award for 2007 Athlete of the Year, alongside amateur swimmer Miguel Molina. Amongst the list of nominees were Manny Pacquiao, Ronnie Alcano, Wesley So, and Frankie Minoza.
