WBC bantamweight world champion Nordine Oubaali and future Hall of Famer Nonito Donaire went face-to-face Thursday at the final press conference before their world title showdown taking place this Saturday live on Showtime from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif.
Nordine Oubaali: He’s had a good career but I’m the best in the division…The difference in the fight is going to be I want to win more. I want to continue to make history and stay as the world champion in this division. I know that it’s my time. I want this more than he does.”
Nonito Donaire: “It would be great to win the title at 38 years old and become the oldest champion at 118 pounds, but let’s keep it going. Let’s make it 40. Let’s make it 42. There ain’t no stopping me. Mentally, I’m very grateful but at the same time I’m just very ready.”
I love Donaire. He has been a great, entertaining fighter for years.
I would like to see Donaire knock this guy out.
I have always liked the “Fillipino Flash”.
He carries himself with dignity and respect.
I remember when he KO’d Vic Darchinyan.
Vic didn’t even know he had been KTFO’d.
