Burnett (R) and Gomera during their fight Friday in Belfast.

DAVAO CITY ? Pinoy fans are disappointed on Nonito Donaire Jr. for his act on the recent fight on Jelbirt Gomera and Ryan Burnett in Belfast.

Donaire showed his support to Burnett during the fight and congratulated him while he did not even say good luck to Gomera.

?Pero kahit minsan man lang sana before or after the fight ay kinumusta o pinansin mo sila diyan sa Belfast,? said Darwin Miller Angelo Dep-ay of Highland Boxing Promotions.

But as one of your biggest fans, kahit ganun ang nangyari I?ll still support you in your future fight,? said Dep-ay.

Donaire is a friend of Burnett but the 26-year old Gomera is a fellow from General Santos City.

(I?m) just disappointed, not angry,? said Dep-ay. Gomera lost by a 6th round technical knockout to the 26-year old Burnett. (Lito delos Reyes)
