Donaire and Co. picks up training tempo for Pinoy Power 3

World interim super flyweight champion Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire and his fellow Filipino boxers fighting in Pinoy Power 3 are picking up their pace in training for their February 13 (February 14 in Manila) fight date.

Aside from Donaire, other Filipino boxers lined up to fight in Pinoy Power 3 are former world champion Gerry “Fearless” Peñalosa and Bernabe “Kamaong Llave” Concepcion.

Donaire told PhilBoxing.com that he sparred with Nicaraguan Randy Caballero and Mexican Eric Manriquez in preparation against Mexico’s hard-hitting Gerson “El Nene” Guerrero.

The Filipino Flash currently trains at the “Undefeated Gym” in San Carlos, California and is just 5 pounds over the super flyweight limit.

“That’s why I feel pretty good, my weights on and I am really ready,” he said.

Peñalosa, meanwhile, trains at Freddie Roach’s Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles for his clash with Mexican Eric Morel.



“Eric Morel is a tactician he has speed but you know we are better than him,” he said in Filipino.

Peñalosa, a 3-time world champion, said the Mexican will be his ticket towards another world title shot.

Concepcion, for his part, sees Pinoy Power 3 as an opportunity to redeem himself from the controversial disqualification loss to Steven Luevano last year.

Kamaong Llave also trains in Wild Card for his fight against Puerto Rican Mario Santiago.
