The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines - A heated, hard-hitting boxing match is once again gearing up to hit your cable TV sets on April 14 at 8 a.m. as Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire faces the dangerous Cuban fighter, Guillermo “The Jackal” Rigondeaux.

In what is seen as his toughest challenge yet, Donaire is set to face an uphill battle as he steps in the ring with Rigondeaux. Coming from his four victories in 2012, which helped him bag Fighter of the Year honors, The Filipino Flash is expected to follow a strict game plan when he faces the Cuban counter puncher to successfully defend his WBO & Ring Magazine Super Bantamweight titles.

Though fighting only in his 12th professional boxing match, Rigondeaux is a seasoned tactical fighter who has won two Olympic gold medals in the amateur ranks. The Jackal will be entering this fight to prove that he is the best fighter in the 122-weight class by successfully defending his WBA Super Bantamweight title. The savvy counter puncher is also expected to use his speed and power to defeat the more experienced Donaire who is currently sitting on a 30-bout winning streak.

With these two dangerous fighters set to face off at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City, boxing fans can expect nothing but an all-out clash in the ring as it will surely be a battle of patience, endurance and game plans.

Catch the title unification match for only P499 for digital cable subscribers in either standard definition or SKYcable’s innovative high definition cable TV.
