WBO and Ring Magazine super bantamweight champion Nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donaire says fight fans can "expect the best from him" when he defends his title against former champion Jorge "Travieso" Arce when they clash st the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas on Saturday.
The fight which will take place on Sunday morning Manila Time will be telecast over the giant broadcast network ABS-CBN over its pre - eminent Channel 2 and The Filipino Channel in the Middle East and Australia.
Donaire spoke to The Manila Standard and ABS-CBN reporter Dyan Castillejo after the official weigh-in in which Donaire came in at 121 1/2 pounds while Arce tipped the scales at the 122 pound limit.
A supremely confident Donaire, a four division champion, told us "I didn't have a problem with the weight and we are very relaxed and have nothing to worry about."
Donaire said "I feel great and I am ready so you can expect the best."
He said Arce doesnt worry him, adding that "whoever is my opponent I don't worry about it because I am ready for anything."
However, Donaire predicted "it's going to be a good fight because Arce is a tough guy but we are ready for him."
