The Filipinos went wild again, just as the audience in Puerto Rico screamed for the victory of Nonito Donaire.It was a great fight. That was last Saturday, July 10, 2010 when Donaire stand out again after winning the game over his opponent Hernan Marquez. At the eight round, Marquez received an attack from Donaire that made him lose his balance and stumble on the ring. The referee then proclaimed it as knock out and made Donaire won by knock out.Donaire at the age of 27, has won his two titles in two different weight classes, the flyweight division and the super flyweight division. However, though he won the game, there had been negative speculations about him. Because in his game with Marquez, it is conspicuous that for four rounds he used southpaw fighting, which is known to be Manny Pacuiao’s style.Some audience were disgusted to Donaire and his way of imitating Pacquiao’s moves.

There were also times when the audience shouted “Boo” to Donaire. But either any means, no comparison shall be done because Manny Pacquiao and Nonito Donaire are both great boxer and a pride of the Philippines. Whether Donaire really tried to imitate Pacquiao that doesn’t made him less of a proud boxer. Because imitating is a part of learning, and in order for a person to improve he must have a role model to follow. A model that will serve as an inspiration. As for Donaire, I believe that he treats Pacquiao as his role model. We can say that Donaire is the younger version of Pacquiao. We Filipinos are one lucky race to have a great person among us–Donaire, a humble and a true boxer with dignity.
