Nonito tiwalang papasa sa weight limit

Russell Cadayona - Pilipino Star Ngayon

MANILA, Philippines - Isang araw bago ang ka­nilang laban ay sasai­lalim sina world unified super bantamweight champion Nonito ‘The Filipino Flash’ Donaire, Jr. at Mexican challenger Jorge Arce sa official weigh-in ngayon sa PlazAmericas Mall sa Houston, Texas.

Kumpiyansa si Arce na pareho silang makakapasa ni Donaire sa weight limit na 122 pounds para sa kanilang sagupaan bukas (Ma­nila time) sa Toyota Center sa Houston, Texas.

“We are now in the range of 122 pounds and without a hitch we will make the super bantamweight li­mit,” sabi ng 33-anyos na si Arce sa kanyang paghahamon sa 30-anyos na si Donaire.

Itataya ni Donaire  (30-1-0, 19 KOs) ang kanyang hawak na WBO super bantamweight title laban kay Arce (60-6-2, 46 KOs) bukod pa sa nakalatag na WBC Diamond super bantamweight belt.

“We will bring a lot of strength, explosiveness and my physical condition will be like it’s never been before. I am eager to be in the ring against Donaire,” sabi ni Arce, nanggaling sa unanimous decision win kontra kay Mauricio Martinez sa isang 10-round, non-title fight noong Set­yembre 22.

Tatlong malalaking panalo ang kinuha ni Donaire, tubong Talibon, Bohol at nga­yon ay nakabase sa San Leandro, California, nga­­yong taon.

Ang kanyang mga tina­lo niya ay sina Wilfredo Vazquez, Jr. Jeffrey Mathebula at Toshiaki Nishioka.

Hangad naman ni Ar­­ce na maduplika ang sixth-round KO victory ni Juan Manuel Marquez kay Manny Pacquiao noong nakaraang Linggo sa MGM Grand sa Las Vegas, Neva­da.
