Nonito Donaire (42-8, 28 KOs) had his best fights in the lightweight division, but time flies inexorably. Although the Filipino will be 42 years old in November, he is not thinking about retiring from the sport.
Another legendary boxer was and still is Roman Gonzalez (52-4, 42 KOs), who recently turned 37. The famous "Chocolatito" moved up to lightweight ten days ago and defeated Robert Barrera by technical knockout in the tenth round. And that's who "The Filipino Flash" would like to face now.
"I hope this fight will happen. I didn't show good boxing in my last two fights, so maybe now Gonzalez and his team will want our fight. I'm even willing to settle for a weight limit a little bit below the top of the lightweight division, just to make him feel a little more comfortable. I believe that together we can put on a great fight," Donaire stated.
