[Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Reymart Gaballo (WBC bantamweight)

[24Kt]

We can't compare Gaballo to Inoue though as they are at a different level, I mean, Inoue is an A-plus fighter while Gaballo is just a B plus fighter, of course, this is his opportunity to prove to the world that our expectation is wrong, and by defeating Donaire, his name will be popular in this division.

I just compare the stamina, not the skills, to Inoue. We know how that monster fights a class A fighter indeed!

Gaballo wants to bring his name up and receive more possible big fights if he managed to win over Donaire, a well-known and respected
champ, by accomplishing the fight, it will surely bring his name up and create a good impact on this division.

Better to wait if how these two camps prepared and start showcasing their talents once they meet inside the ring.

No date yet set for this fight? Maybe, this one will happen early next year if their respective promoters will not arrange before the end of this year. Also, since both are Filipinos, is there possibility that they will fight in their native land or will this happen in the US soil? I am certain, Donaire will be the favorite here by bookies, because his name is more popular than Gaballo. However, Donaire should not underestimate Gaballo because of factors like age, reach, which are seen to be Gaballo's advantage.

Yes, this is likely gonna happen next year, but we can be sure that this is the first fight of Donaire since it's a mandatory fight. It's a bit exciting to wait to see how a young challenger who is undefeated will be able to defeat Donaire, I know Donaire is the legitimate favorite here but also can't underestimate the perseverance of Gaballo and his willingness to climb to fame, and this is his best chance.

[Pamadar]

Yes, this is likely gonna happen next year, but we can be sure that this is the first fight of Donaire since it's a mandatory fight.

Since it's mandatory, Donaire doesn't have any options but to take this fight.  he needs to win to continue

his chased in having a rematch with Inoue.

It's a bit exciting to wait to see how a young challenger who is undefeated will be able to defeat Donaire,

That's exciting if he will be able to execute that, but the chance still slim because Donaire still holding and not willing to

give it up that easily.

I know Donaire is the legitimate favorite here but also can't underestimate the perseverance of Gaballo and his willingness to climb to fame, and this is his best chance.

Whoever in his shoe will do the same things, he will try his very best to win and beat the favorite, Upset may happen we never know.

Most likely it will happen late this year or early next year.  Negotiations have been ongoing already, and speaking of Donaire, he just sign up with the new promotional company - Probellum

Nonito Donaire Jr. has signed a promotional deal with upstart company Probellum, the company announced Monday afternoon.

Donaire, the reigning WBC bantamweight titleholder, joins a growing stable that includes Regis Prograis, Badou Jack and Ricky Burns. The company, which was launched on Sept. 20, is headed by former Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer.

So with the experience of people behind this company, for sure this fight can be made, it's just a matter of scheduling.

[Mahanton]

Yes, this is likely gonna happen next year, but we can be sure that this is the first fight of Donaire since it's a mandatory fight.

Since it's mandatory, Donaire doesn't have any options but to take this fight.  he needs to win to continue

his chased in having a rematch with Inoue.

There's no other way as if they do have another choice? There's not because if its mandatory which had been said by the organization then as a boxer you wont really be having any choice.
You cant proceed on just pinpointing out other boxers according to your likes.It would be still always ending up on their own discretion but doesnt mean that it would be a bad
idea and as said that if he's really chasing up a rematch for Inoue then he should win upcoming possible fights that had been set.

And this fight is still very good in my opinion. As pointed out, a new name in the Filipino boxing is coming up with Gaballo and then we have the veteran and experience Nonito Donaire.

So yes this is mandatory, but at least the challenger is good and it can give Donaire a style night mare as Gaballo has a knock out power that Donaire should avoid. But then again, he has face a lot of good boxers in his prime and he himself has a good and patented left hook too. And that's what makes this fight interesting. And then when we see who won, we can talk about Inoue.

[Dave1]

But as far as stamina goes, it's questionable in my opinion. I will grade Gaballo as more of it as compare to Donaire. So Nonito better be wise to conserve his energy in this fight and not to engage Gaballo. And just time him coming inside and maybe score a knock out.

That's the question since we are comparing a young and much more older fighter. Gaballo is still at 25 years of age while Donaire is at the height of a career age at 38 and we know how age matters on most of the time especially if it's about stamina. Not doubting Donaire on this since he's an athlete and athletes has high tolerance of endurance but I think Donaire may pull it off, fingers crossed.

I re-watched the Donaire vs Ouballi as well, and it seems that Nonito is just plodding in the fight. Perhaps it was due to the fact that Ouballi is a willing target for him that's why we haven't seen him tested specially his stamina in this fight. So we will see if Gaballo will take advantage of his youth by going very fast against Nonito and test his endurance throughout the fight and it might work on his favor.

That's the anticipated thing to watch for and looks like this is a test for Gaballo and looks like just passing the torch to another era of the Philippine boxing, just my two cents. It can't be denied that Donaire is really aging and it's the chance of Gaballo to show him what he really got there.

It could be the passing of the torch, and hopefully Gaballo can live up to the expectations.

He said that he idolizes Donaire so if ever beat the him it will be very hard to follow up on what Donaire did for Philippine boxing.

So let's see if the youthful Gaballo will become the new face of Donaire is still at the top of the game although I would say that he is no longer at his peak and might be slowing down.

I'm not sure if that would happen, passing the torch should be in the right guy and I think Gaballo is not the right guy for now. During the time of a young Donaire, he became popular because he beat a lot of champions and Gaballo has not made the same yet if I'm not mistaken.

That's a very good challenged indeed for the Pinoy flash,

Gaballo has that strength and if Donaire unable to avoid those punches, it may risk his belt, but knowing him and the attitude
and style that he showcases from those fights that he has before. It's not hard for him to adjust.

The level of competitions for both Pinoy fighters is very challenging. They both want this win to extend their fames,
Filipinos are surely proud of both gentlemen..

Nonito Donaire was a nobody before he beat Vic Darchinyan via that devastating left hook, from that moment on people are expecting his every fight, and yeah he established a fan base in the Philippines because boxing fans love the way he knocks out his opponent. If Gaballo could beat Donaire then this is somewhat a changing of the guards and this Gaballo will become a household name at least in the Philippines.

There's news that Donaire has signed a promotional deal with Probellum, the lone bidder of that Casimero vs Butler fight. This sounds interesting as we all know how that company compromises the mandatory fight of Casimero.

[Smartprofit]

Reinmart Gaballo is my favorite bantamweight fighter. 

He was born in the Philippines and later moved to the city of General Santos.  He was coached by his grandfather, since there was no boxing section in his city.  In fact, he was boxing a bag of river sand in his backyard. 

Gradually, Reinmart began to develop as a professional boxer.  He has his own sports manager.  Reinmart Gaballo is a knockout master.  His blows are irresistible.  He hits equally well with his right and left hand.  He is young and fights better and better every year. 

I'm not sure about Nonito Doneiro's victory. 

I think Rainmart Gaballo will win this fight.

If Donaire can duplicate his performance as he did with Oubaali, Graballo is in big trouble, I know Graballo is a heavy puncher but you cannot beat what you cannot hit, Oubaali is a strong fighter but he can't hit Donaire, if his ring skill is not that good I have Donaire winning by knock out or decision.

He signs with that promotional company because surprise, surprised, it is being managed by Richard Schaeffer, the ex-CEO or president of Golden Boy, they have a fall out years ago and I wonder why it took years for Richard to built his own company.

As for the changing of the guards, this is a big step for Gaballo, not just in Philippines but in the US as well because he will become the full champion and for sure he can chase more lucrative fights in his career.

He can chase more fights on his career if he win against Donaire on this fight but this will be a tough match to him knowing that Donaire is a good counter puncher and still a great fighter even today. But this is a good match between both of the fighters knowing how good they are in the ring also their record is impressive so we can expect that we will see a good fight between this two great boxers in this generation.

[Silberman]

Inoue is so good that at some point I think he is going to become the undisputed of his division, there are other good fighters as well but not only he is a technical boxer he also has the punch, stamina and everything you may want in a boxer, so I think it is just a matter of time until this happens and then he finally decides to move up from his division and begin his journey to become a champion all over again.

It would really be a big step up on his career whenever he do have the chance on beating up Donaire since we know on whats the status or standing of Donaire itself on boxing world and if ever that Gaballo
would defeat him then that would be a huge upset yet for sure Donaire would be the main favorite on this one but we know that everything could happen in boxing on which underdogs could
definitely beat up the crap of those who are favorites. We dont know on whats coming but basing up on numbers then we can make presumptions.

The point here is, if he cannot defeat Donaire who is already not in his prime, there's no reason to believe that Gaballo would end up a champion in this division, so there's also a lot of pressure on him as it's his stepping stone to major success and Donaire could always say that he is not in his prime anymore that's why he lose, and also, there's nothing to prove anymore for Donaire as he has become champions many times.

You're right, Nonito Donaire is supposed to be a stepping stone for young Gaballo and the Philippine boxer is not in his prime anymore given his age and his last fights.
So if Gaballo couldn't defeat or even get a close score against Donaire then this young boxer isn't worth it to fight closely against other champions. But if Gaballo will win, for sure there will a be lot of line-up match afterwards and there'll be a promising future new for the young boxer.

[Questat]

You're right, Nonito Donaire is supposed to be a stepping stone for young Gaballo and the Philippine boxer is not in his prime anymore given his age and his last fights.

No, we can say that Donaire is not in his prime anymore but his last fight was pretty impressive, it looks like the young Donaire has come back as his signature left hook was their and that resulted to an early KO of his opponent which was the champion that time.

So if Gaballo couldn't defeat or even get a close score against Donaire then this young boxer isn't worth it to fight closely against other champions. But if Gaballo will win, for sure there will a be lot of line-up match afterwards and there'll be a promising future new for the young boxer.

Gaballo has to KO Donaire, at least if that would happen there would be no controversy anymore and he will gain the respect of the fans of Donaire.

It seems the WBO had recently ordering boxers for a title defense but it is their right to do so, now we had Casimero VS Butler and we also have Donaire VS Gaballo, and yes this fight between two Filipino boxers is not what the fan expected to happen but I think this is a good opportunity for Gaballo if he can really shake things up and make another dent in Donaire's record, but WBO surely won't allow this fight to happen if they didn't see any potential on Reymart Gaballo's side, but I really don't expect him to KO/TKO Donaire a Decision win is likely enough for me but as you have said Gaballo needs to KO Donaire so they will not question that Gaballo would likely giving the win to Donaire, and there wouldn't be any controversies about it.
