Round 1: Donaire comes forward land big left and body shot crowd goes nuts.
Nonito stalking Montiel backing up and trying to counter.
Dominating round for Nonito. Montiel is fighting rather conservative.
Both fighters are now in the ring and the crowd is hyped!
Mike Jones just won a UD over Soto-Karass. Crowd is fine with that decision.
DJ is now playing a mash up of Belinda Carlisle's Heaven Is A Place On Earth with BEP's Time Of My Life.
I got to hand it to my bro Donaire there are some fine Filipinas in the house tonight. I may have to post some pics for all of you on my Twitter.
Everyone to my right is supporting Nonito Donaire you can tell by their P.I. flag jackets. Look at my Twitter right now to see a real time pic I just posted.
Jones is winning this fight but Soto-Karass just keeps coming forward despite being bloody and cuts on both eyes. What a TRUE Mexican Warrior!
They just showed both Donaire and Montiel on the big jumbo tron. Nonito got a lot of hands clapping but Montiel got the louder cheers.
Montiel has won the first battle..... the crowd.
I talked to S.O.G. Andre Ward on if the fight will indeed be at the Carson Home Depot center with Arthur Abraham and he said the decision is not final yet. Word is it will be as soon as Wednesday.
Ward tells me he used to spar with Nonito's older brother Glenn when he was a kid and that Glenn used to bang him up in sparring.
Ward is picking Nonito to win by late stoppage. We both feel Nonito should not play to the crowd and just focus on breaking Montiel down. Ward says Montiel is a beast.
We are now ringside in the middle of the Jones/Soto-Karass fight. Soto-Karass is exciting and winning the crowd despite his big cuts on his eyes he's still coming forward at Jones and he's making this crowd cheer on.
We have just shot the most legendary interview video with the great Al Bernstein. It's 20 minutes long and we talk about everything from Pacquiao to advice to all you up and coming media people.
I was told that Nonito Donaire was complaining that the Montiel team were playing mind games in the dressing room by making me rewrap his hands.
We are scheduled to chat and interview legendary Al Bernstein tonight so feel free to send in your questions.
I spoke to Rachel Donaire, Nonito Donaire's wife earlier today. Nonito is ready and feeling good. Their camp is a bit annoyed by the false rumors that he did not make weight at the weigh in.
Both Montiel and Donaire made the 118 limit on their first official attempt.
Right now the current odds still have Donaire as the favorite at -210.
The champion Montiel is at +180.
Fight will go to 1:30 of round 8 at -170
Fight won't go to 1:30 of round 8 at +200
Rumor has it KING J has bet it will NOT go to 1:30 of round 8
