The wife of nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donaire predicts her husband's WBO super bantamweight title defense against Mexican warrior Jorge "Travieso" Arce is "going to be a really great fight" on Saturday at the Toyota Center here in Houston, Texas.
Rachel Donaire told Dyan Castillejo of ABS-CBN that "this is going to be a war because Arce is trying to prove himself that he has not been through yet and Nonito would love to go for the belt" since he has set his eyes on winning the WBC and WBA titles to go with his WBO and Ring magazine titles.
Rachel said "the fact that he (Nonito) is always fighting means he doesn't get out of shape and his weight doesn't get too high so when he gets back into camp he starts at 40 percent level in shape already."
Donaire's wife said "he's so active it's a lot better for his
body and since his fight was so close to his last fight (against Toshiaki Nishioka) he didn't have to worry about the weight anymore."
She said that if Arce "hurts Nonito it's only because of an
accidental head-butt because Arce leads with his head a lot and he puts everything into it, which is good."
