Nonito Donaire/Fernando Montiel: Send in Your Questions for Donaire Interview

On Saturday Feb. 19 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, the true fight fans will finally get one of the top fights they have been wishing for.

The WBC/WBO bantamweight champion of the world, Fernando Montiel, 44(34)-2-2, will be taking on Nonito Donaire, 25(17)-1, in a fight that many are considering to have Fight of the Year potential written all over it.

Montiel, from Cochulito, Mexico, is a knockout artist who is in his prime and who is still riding high over his knock out victory over former pound-for-pound bantamweight champion Japanese legend Hozumi Hasegawa last year.

Fight experts favored the superior technical boxer Hasegawa to defeat Montiel with ease in Japan; however, Fernando's heavy hands changed what was pretty much a dominating performance by the Japanese champion by a TKO stoppage in the fourth round.

The majority of Montiel's fights have been ending in knockout within the first few rounds, for he is a fighter who has true one-punch power as it is evident with his 70.83% Knock Out Percentage.

Many were viewing Hasegawa as the next big Asian sensation fighter behind Manny Pacquiao if he was able to defeat Montiel in their fight last April.

Now we have another fighter who is also of Asian descent, Filipino-American Nonito Donaire, who is also now currently being mentioned as the next big Asian break out star fighter behind Pacquiao.

Once again the fight to possibly skyrocket that status is against Montiel.

Donaire, who already shocked the world with his Knockout of the Year win against Showtime network's poster boy, Vic Darchinyan, back in 2007, has been winning big ever since dominating anyone willing to fight him from flyweight to bantamweight.

With the lack of opponents willing to step into the ring with him, Donaire has been one of the most blatantly dodged and avoided fighters in all of boxing.

He has a very high-skilled technical style which enables him to outbox and counter punch his opponents with ease until he ultimately knocks them out.

Nonito has the total package: speed, ring generalship, power, and slick defense all in one. He has pretty much a fighting style similar to Floyd Mayweather Jr., but more so one that is willing to trade, take risks and go for the knockout to satisfy the fans.

Rarely do we have such a meaningful fight where the top pound-for-pound ranked fighters actually collide in the same weight class.

Montiel is currently ranked No. 7 by the Ring Magazine Pound for Pound rankings and Donaire is currently ranked No. 5.

Las Vegas currently has odds for Donaire as the betting favorite at -220 and the champion Montiel at +180.

As the Boxing Community leader here at the Bleacher Report, I say we should give Nonito Donaire a call and interview him when he gets a break in his training camp.

So fight fans, send in your questions for Nonito Donaire as he prepares for the biggest fight of his career in what will indeed be nothing short of a great fight against Fernando Montiel.
