Nonito Would not mind coming down to 115 to challenge winner Estrada vs. Chocolate 3; a Good idea

Formidable Filipino WBC bantamweight world champion Nonito Donaire at 39 years of age shows no sign of stopping his incredible new run at 118 pounds.

Nonito has performed awesome after his fight against Japanese Naoya Inoue (which won the 2019 fight of the year award), conquering the WBC Strap against Nordine Oubaali and then defending it by stopping fellow Pinoy Reymart Gaballo.

But Donaire (42-6, 28 KOs), despite seeking a long-awaited rematch against unified WBA/IBF bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue, does not rule out the idea of ​​dropping back down to 115 pounds to face the winner of the third war between Mexican champion Juan Francisco Estrada (42-3, 28 KOs), and former Nicaraguan star Román “Chocolatito” González (50-3, 41 KOs)。

“I’m putting myself out there in that mix with ‘Chocolatito’ and Estrada。 That would be awesome. I’m totally, totally for it,” feels Nonito, a future Hall-of-famer.

But, at his age, is it advisable and wise to drop those 3 pounds from 118 to 115?

“Weight is very simple for me. I mean, I could go down to 115 if I wanted to and still feel really strong,,” The Filipino Flash reckons.

it is expected that Nicaraguan 4-division world champion Román “Chocolatito” González will face for a 3rd time awesome Mexican WBA/WBC super flyweight world champion Juan Francisco “Gallo” Estrada in a hot showdown on March 5 in San Diego, California, headlining a Matchroom exciting Show live on DAZN.

It would be the third clash between the two fantastic warriors, with a victory for each currently.

The last time the two faced each other
was last March 13 in Dallas, Texas, with the Mexican winning in a questioned result.

“When I fought Inoue, I was actually 116 pounds,” revealed Nonito

“so I had to drink water to get to 117 pounds (at the official weigh-in).

“So 116 pounds, you know, it’s about around the corner from115.”

Nonito against the winner of the Estrada VS Chocolatito would be a thriller, so would a rematch of Nonito vs Inoue.

However, it is possible that Inoue might be more interested in getting in the ring against Ormocano Johnriel Casimero.
