Donaire: We are going to chase 6 or 7 titles
May 7th, 2014
Simpiwe Vetyeka Donaire Vetyeka Donaire vs. Vetyeka nonito donaire By Chris Williams: Former three division world champion Nonito Donaire (32-2, 21 KO’s) will be going after his fourth division world title this month when he faces WBA Super World featherweight champion Simpiwe Vetyeka (26-2, 16 KO’s) at the end of the month on May 31st at the Cotai Arena, Venetian Resort, Macao, Macao S.A.R., China.
Vetyeka, 33, is seen by some boxing fans as the most vulnerable of the current featherweight champions, and the most beatable guy for Donaire to pick up his fourth division world title. Donaire says he wants to go after more world title belts after this fight.
“We are going to chase 6 or 7 titles that’s what we are planning to do,” Donaire said to Philboxing.com. “The more the merrier, the better.”
There are so many world title belts in various divisions that it’s quite possible for Donaire to chase 6 or 7, as he says he wants to do. There’s vulnerable champions at super bantamweight, featherweight and super featherweight, if Donaire is open to moving between different divisions. However, Donaire hasn’t looked good in his last two fights against Guillermo Rigondeaux and Vic Darchinyan, and right now he should be just hoping he can pick up the WBA title belt off of Vetyeka.
As bad as Donaire looked in struggling to beat 39-year-old Darchinyan last November, Donaire may not get past Vetyeka this month. I would certainly pick Vetyeka to defeat Darchinyan if that fight were to happen, and Donaire was lucky to score a stoppage. Had Darchinyan continued to dominate Donaire like he’d done in the first 8 rounds, we might have seen Darchinyan getting the victory.
Donaire will likely be matched against the likes of Evgeny Gradovich and Nicholas Walters in the near future. Those are both featherweight champions, and they would be potentially winnable fights for Donaire if he were to bring his A-game against those guys. Donaire can get back to where he was in 2012 when he was the Fighter of the Year, he could maybe beat Gradovich and Walters, but I’m not so sure Donaire can.
Donaire’s 31 now, and he seems to have aged since his win over little Jorge Arce in December of 2012, and it might be that Donaire’s best days are behind him in the rear view mirror. We’ll find out in his next fight against Vetyeka if he’s got anything left, because he’s someone that Donaire will need to be at his best to beat. If Donaire can’t stop this guy, he’s going to take a beating because Vetyeka just keeps coming forward and throwing punches all night long.
Donaire is going to need to find his lost youth for him to win all these titles that he’s dreaming about. It might not be possible at this point in his career with the way he’s been looking lately. Donaire would be better off going on a diet and dropping back down to super bantamweight to compete against the likes of Kiko Martinez, Leo Santa Cruz and Scott Quigg. Forget about Rigondeaux, he already proved that he’s far superior to Donaire in beating him last year.
