    What's up bro Odlanyer? Yes, I think that's good that Top Rank Inc. won the case

    battle with Golden Boy Promotions when they tried to steal away Nonito Donaire's

    contract away. I think Nonito Donaire is better off staying with Top Rank Inc. Arum

    is a very good promoter in my opinion and with his manager Cameron Dunkin they

    will help guide his career in the right direction like their doing with Manny Pacquiao.

    I use to talk with Nonito Donaire via Myspace and he told me that his old promoter

    GSP (Gary Shaw Productions) didn't fulfill his end of the bargain in terms of fights.

    For instance, GSP promised Nonito Donaire four good fights a year and if he was

    lucky he got maybe two fights in one year that's the main reason he left GSP one

    example was in 2008 there was a proposed fight to fight Hussein Hussein the guy

    who Jorge Arce defeated twice in Dubai or Egypt one of those countries that fight

    fell threw because the promoter pulled out. "Flash" is better off staying under the

    guidance of Mr. Bob Arum and Top Rank Inc they'll guide his career the right way.

    His lack of high level fights are down to his promoter,although i seem to remember him knocking out Montiel in his last fight.His relationship with his parent has nothing to do with boxing and who can blame him for wanting to leave the clutches of Bob Arum.We're still waiting to see Gamboa vs Lopez so the chances of seeing Donaire fighting one of these 2 are looking slim.I find it amazing that a talented boxer could be losing fans because of a class A liar like Bob Arum.

    I would have liked to see him fight Agbeko next and then move up in weight and maybe fight Nishioka which would be a great fight in my opinion
