Top Rank held the final press conference for the much awaited bantamweight championship clash between champion Fernando Montiel and challenger Nonito Donaire. The fight takes place at the MGM Grand on Saturday February 19, live on HBO. Below are quick quotes from both fighters.
Fernando Montiel: “It’s been a question of opponents. I haven’t had the types of opponents that they’ve had, and that’s why they’re better known than me. After this fight, you know, I think that everyone will know more about me.”
Nonito Donaire: “I know that Fernando Montiel wants to knock me out, and I want to knock Fernando Montiel out. So this is why this fight is going to be very entertaining.”
