EXTRAORDINARE NONITO DONAIRE BANTAMWEIGHT BOXER BY WAY OF THE PHILIPINES IS BEING HAILED AS THE NEXT MANNY PACQUIAO. DONAIRE HAS BEEN RECORDED AT THROWING 14 PUNCHES IN 3 SECONDS. AFTER RELEASING HIS FATHER FOR HIS TRAINER, NONITO HIRED ROBERTO GARCIA AND   VICTOR CONTE AS HIS CONDITIONING TRAINER. NONITO EXPLAINS HIS ROUTINE WITH GARCIA, "I TRAINED FOR 24 ROUNDS AS IF NOTHING. WE JUST FOCUS IN THIS FIGHT TO HIT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. WE FOCUS ON SPEED AND STRATEGY. I WATCH WHERE HIS HANDS ARE AND HE BETTER LOOK OUT , I'LL MAKE HIM PAY. ROBERT WATCHES THE VIDEOS, I'VE SEEN THE WAY NARVAEZ STANDS. HE'S AN IS INCREDIBLE FIGHTER. WE ESPECIALLY LOOKED AT THE WAY NARVAEZ TAKES A FIGHT INTO THE NEXT ROUND. HE'S A TWO TIME CHAMPION, BUT NONITO IS OVERTRAINED AND READY. WE KNOW THERE'S A FUTURE AND WE ARE READY FOR EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING. I HAVE THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR ROBERT GARCIA. HE TELLS YOU TO STUDY YOUR OPPONENT'S MOVEMENT. IF YOUR THE BETTER FIGHTER, ITS NOT ABOUT SIZE. IF YOUR THE BETTER FIGHTER YOU WIN. I KNOW I HAVE TO BE BETTER AND FASTER, EVERYDAY I TRAIN. I GIVE MY LEGS A REST WHEN I HAVE TO. YOU PUT YOUR LIFE ON THE LINE, I HAVE TO GIVE MY EVERYTHING."

NONITO DONAIRE'S WORKOUT WAS MORE INTENSE AT GLEASONS GYM ON SATURDAY. AFTER SOME FROM THE MEDIA VOICED THEIR CONCERNS TO THE DONAIRE CAMP, TUESDAY'S WORKOUT AT KINGSWAY WAS REDUCED TO SPARRING FOR 10 MINUTES AND JOKING AROUND IN THE RING. 

OMAR NARVAEZ FINNALY MADE AN APPEARANCE IN NEW YORK. LAST MONTH DURING THE COTTO MARGARITO PRESSER, NARVEAZ WAS A NO SHOW. TWO WEEKS OF NONITO DONAIRE IN NEW YORK WAS OK BUT WHERE WAS DONAIRE, HE COMMENTED, " I LIKE STAYING AWAY FROM THE ALL THE FRAY. I LIKE BEING SECRETIVE. IT KEEPS MY OPPONENT ON EDGE. I ALSO KEEP MY MOUTH CLOSED."

NUTRITIONIST VICTOR CONTI PREPARES A PROTEIN COCKTAIL FOR NONITO TO COUNTERATTACK LACTAID ACID.

MIKE GARCIA, ROBERT GARCIA'S YOUNGER BROTHER IS FIGHTING ON THE UNDERCARD. MIKE HAS HIS GRANDFATHER AND FATHER AS TRAINERS. I ASKED MIKE HOW IY WAS LIVING UNDER THE SAME ROOF AS VICTOR ORTIZ AND HIS RESPONSE WAS SURPRISING, "IN 2005 MY FATHER FOUND VICTOR HOMELESS AND HE WENT TO GRANDFATHER AND DISCUSSED WHAT CAN BE DONE FOR HIM. MY GRANDFATHER TOLD MY DAD TO LEGALLY ADOPT HIM AND BRING HIM TO LIVE WITH US. FIRST VICTOR LIVED IN MY GRANDFATHERS HOUSE FOR 2 YEARS THEN HE MOVED TO MY FATHERS HOUSE FOR ANOTHER TWO YEARS. MY FATHER TRAINED HIM TO BOX ALL THESE YEARS HE WAS WITH US. WE ALL FELT LIKE FAMILY, THEN HE VICTOR GOT HIS OWN APARTMENT, THEN ONE DAY A LAWYER CAME TO OUR HOUSE WITH LEGAL PAPERS SAYING WE CAN'T COME IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH HIM OR TALK TO HIM. HE PRETENDED TO THE VERY LAST MOMENT, EVERYTHING WAS ALRIGHT, HE ACTED AS A FAMILY MEMBER, NEVER SAID THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG. HE DIDN'T APPRECIATE ANYTHING WE HAD DONE FOR HIM.'

MIKE GARCIA HAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. HIS FATHER AND HIS FATHERS FATHER HAS TAUGHT HIM WELL. HE SHOULD BE A WINNER THIS SATURDAY OCTOBER 22.

 AFTER A WEEK AND HALF OF BEING IN NEW YORK AND FEELING THE LOVE AND ADMIRATION OF NEW YORKERS, NONITO DONAIRE WAS EITHER STRESSED OUT OR HAD A FIGHT WITH HIS WIFE. WEIGH IN WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN AT 2:00 PM AND NONITO SHOWED UP AT 2:56 AND HAD TO SEE THE DOCTOR BEFORE BEING WEIGH IN. HIS WIFE BOUGHT WITH HER AN ENTOURAGE OF 50 PEOPLE OF WHICH COULD NOY BE ACCOMODATED BECAUSE EVENTHOUGH THEY WERE STAYING AT THE SAME HOTEL AS THE WEIGH IN, THEY CHOSE TO TRY TO MAKE A DRAMATIC ENTRANCE WHICH FAILED. THEY WERE GIVEN 4 SETS IN THE BACK. BUT MOST PEOPLE THERE NOTICED NONITO WASN'T HIS USUAL SELF AND BECAME WORRIED HE HAD BEEM STRESSED OUT BY NEW YORK. HIS WIFE FOR SOME REASON HIRED FOUR BLACK BODYGUARDS. AFTER A WEEK AND HALF IN NEW YORK, THROWING HIMSELF INTO THE PUBLIC CROWD AND THE HOARDS OF PRESS, THE DONAIRES HIRE SECURITY. THE COMMISSIONERS OFFICE HAD THERE OWN SECURITY AT THE WEIGH IN. WHEN ONE DIRECTED NONITO TO THE DOCTORS ROOM, MRS DOAIRE TOLD HIM, HE HAD TO ASK HER SECURITY. SHE WAS QUICKLY PUT IN HER PLACE, THIS IS PROCEDURE IN NEW YORK, YOU HAVE TO BE SEEN BY THE DOCTOR IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THE WEIGH IN.
